Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s assistant coach, Manuel Perez, is gearing up to lead the team against Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) match at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium on Sunday. With head coach Antonio Habas serving a suspension, Perez is focused on securing three essential points for the Mariners, who have been unbeaten in their last eight matches under Habas’s guidance, accumulating 13 points from their last five games. Currently occupying the second spot on the ISL points table, a victory against Chennaiyin FC would propel them back to the top position.

On the flip side, Chennaiyin FC sits in the 11th position in the standings, having collected 18 points from an equal number of games. The team’s win against Mohun Bagan SG could significantly boost their chances of reaching the playoffs, although their inconsistent form presents a challenge. Perez acknowledged Chennaiyin FC’s strength and expressed full respect for his opponents ahead of the crucial match.

Contemplating the impact of the international break on the team’s momentum, Perez remains optimistic and emphasizes the importance of focusing on securing the three points. He mentioned the injury concerns within the team but assured that decisions would be made in consultation with the medical staff and fitness coach for the remaining fixtures.

In a pre-match press conference, Perez was joined by Indian midfielder Deepak Tangri, who highlighted the role Habas played in boosting his confidence. Tangri, who has contributed two goals in 12 appearances for the team this season, expressed his dedication to giving his best on the field and improving at every training session. He emphasized the need to maintain focus while fulfilling both national team and club commitments, highlighting the importance of adapting depending on the situation.

As Mohun Bagan Super Giant braces for the showdown against Chennaiyin FC, the team’s focus remains on clinching a crucial victory to maintain their stellar form and push for the top spot in the ISL standings. With Perez at the helm and Tangri’s determination on display, the Mariners are poised for an intense battle on the field.
