Even the other day, in the first half where we led 3-0, there were moments when SC East Bengal were better than us,” said Manuel Marquez in a pre-match press conference, as per the ISL website.

The head coach further praised Aniket Jadhav and said that he is a player with a ‘lot of qualities’.
“Aniket is a player with a lot of qualities. But he is young and can improve in a lot of areas especially in decision-making. But he is a player who with his qualities in the future can be an important player in Indian football because he is a player who can score goals, who can dribble, who can cross. I think he is an important player in our team at this moment,” said the head coach.
