Panaji: Sporting Clube de Goa would be
looking for the right start when they take on new entrants
Lajong FC in the second round of the I-League tomorrow at
Tilak ground, Vasco.
Sporting Clube has remained one of the most consistent
clubs in the national football league and the nearest they
came to win the title was in 2005 when they lost it on the
final day.
Last year also, they had a good chance to win the title
as they perched on top for most of the time till they went
down towards the end.
Sporting`s preparation for the I-league was haphazard.
The inclement weather, injuries and the late arrivial of the
foreigners were the reasons where the team could not prepare
themselves as a cohesive unit.
Now that most of the players recovered from injuries,
except Wilton Gomes and Felix D`souza, the team looks good.
"Lajong are unknown commodities and can take us by
suprise. We need to guard against complacent and need to score
early goals as they would play more defensive game," said
Peter Vaz, Sporting president.
Lajong coach Standly Rosario wants to forget the bitter
defeat against JCT in their lung opener.
"We conceded silly goals which resulted in our defeat.
Now that we want to forget and concentrate in tomorrow`s match
which will be a tough encounter for which our boys are ready.
We had a practice session at Tilak ground yesterday and all my
boys are fit," stated Rosario.
