Speaking about the Jamaican striker, Jamil stated, “Brown can score at any time and he is the best player we have and one of the best player in the ISL. Unfortunately, he got injured this year. He is a quality player and we don’t have to tell him anything. He works very hard, he has good speed and when he plays all the players get motivated.”

Jamil highlighted how every thing just fell in place for them and the players played really well to secure this elusive win. He lavished praise on his players in what has been a very tough season for the Highlanders.
“Everyone has worked hard. The players especially have worked very hard. Deshorn Brown played and made the difference today. Talking about the Indian boys, Danmawia is a good player and he scored a winning goal. Marcelinho is a quality player and so when he came in he changed the game. Talking about Imran, he also worked very hard. Zakaria, Zoherliana, Flottman all did a good job. Everyone played well,” added the Indian tactician.
Jamil felt that the players played with no pressure and that became a huge factor in the game. He knew that people were talking about the Highlanders how they struggled to win matches but eventually, his men turned it around.
Everyone was thinking about how we haven’t won in a long time. Today we got it after a long time so that’s a good thing. Everybody played today without any pressure and that’s why they enjoyed the game and we got the three points which is the most important thing,” Jamil revealed.
