NEUFC Head Coach Plays Down Durand Cup Success, Says ‘You Are As Good As Your Last Game’
Since then, the Highlanders have gone from strength to strength, winning the club’s first trophy with the Durand Cup in August by defeating defending champions Mohun Bagan Super Giants via penalty shootouts in the final. “We are now starting to realise what we did in the Durand Cup! But, now, we look forward to the ISL and there’s another story that’s waiting for us in the coming season. Trophies in the past don’t make you play better. You are only as good as your last game,” said Benali at the event.
Jamshedpur FC’s Khalid Jamil praised the ISL for bringing in new rules, such as the introduction of the concussion substitute, and mandating an AFC Pro License holding (or equivalent) Indian assistant coach, amongst others. Considering that he is one of the two Indian head coaches in the ISL along with Thangboi Singto of Hyderabad FC, Jamil said, “These new rules will help in the development of Indian football. We shall study it in detail and see how they could help us benefit during the season as well.”
