Chandigarh, March 14

After playing out a 3-3 draw against Mohammedan SC in the ongoing I-League, RoundGlass Punjab FC will try to find a win against TRAU at Kalyani Municipal Stadium on Monday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, RoundGlass Punjab FC head coach Curtis Fleming said: “We scored three goals against Mohammedan. This is the only positive thing of that match. We played an attacking game and we managed to execute our plan to some extent.”

When asked about Bidyashagar Singh, the leading goal scorer of the competition with 11 goals from 12 matches, Fleming said: “He has done very well to score two back-to-back hat-tricks. A team cannot score goals without everything coming together. Strikers do get the plaudits, but it is the entire team that makes or creates chances for them.”

Ashish Jha, who scored his first goal in the professional football against Mohammedan Sporting, was also present at the press conference.

“I am proud of my performance in the last match. I have been waiting for my chance. I got a few chances earlier and I missed a few opportunities. I have worked hard on training and I am happy with my goal in the last match. A win against TRAU will keep title hopes alive for RoundGlass Punjab FC,” said Ashish Jha.
