FC Goa needs to improve defence: Sergio Lobera

FC Goa head coach Sergio Lobera on Friday said his side needs to improve on their defence despite scoring plenty of goals in the ongoing Indian Super League (ISL) season four.

"We have scored 13 goals in the tournament and that speaks for itself. Against Bengaluru they equalised but we scored one goal later and till the time we are getting the points in our pocket that is what matters," the Spaniard told reporters at the pre-match press conference.

"There is no doubt that our attack is easily one of the best in the ISL right now, but our defence still needs a lot of work.

"In the last couple of matches, we have played an open game and that has resulted in us conceding a number of goals. But, if you ask me whether I want my team to win 5-2 or 1-0, my choice will always be the first one," Lobera added.

The 40-year-old also said he wants the Goa outfit to control possession and create as many chances as possible in every match.

"What happened in the past is past, every game is different. We have to take possession, take time and create as many chances as possible and try to do our best," Lobera said.

Delhi Dynamos skipper Kalu Uche said his side needs to improve on their finishing and possession has not been a problem for them.

"If you look at most of our games, keeping possession has not been a problem for us. But, it is the finishing that has let us down and we need to address that issue," Uche said.
