I’m not satisfied: Ambani

Calcutta: Boniface Ambani scored both goals for East Bengal at Barasat stadium on Sunday, but still wasn’t a satisfied man.

“I may have scored two goals, but that’s my job… I’m not satisfied because the team didn’t win,” the Kenyan striker told newsmen on way to the team bus from the dressing room.

Churchill coach wasn’t too unhappy with the result. “A draw in Calcutta is a good result as it fetches you an important point. So in that respect I’m satisfied,” said Moroccan Kakim Bencherifa.

“Our main aim was to remain undefeated after four rounds, but not play with a defensive mind-set… I’m happy with the way the boys reacted to situations.”

East Bengal coach Carlos Roberto Pereira said his team gifted Churchill Brothers both goals. Admitting that there were some problems with the defence and midfield, the Brazilian said: “Not every day will be the same, no two matches similar, that’s football… It will be like this till the end of the competition.”

Pereira agreed that his team had lost a very good opportunity.

“All teams are tough, some results won’t make the fans happy,” said Pereira philosophically, adding that the boos and abuses from the stands didn’t disappoint him.

There’s a gap of over a month now as the players get busy with national duty, and so Pereira is in no hurry to plan for the next phase.

“I’ll start thinking about the future tomorrow (Monday),” Pereira said, adding there will be no respite in practice.
