Marco Pezzaiuoli addressed the media ahead of his team's ISL clash against SC East Bengal. The German coach spoke about the impact of the victory against Chennaiyin on his side's morale. He said:
"Winning games gives us energy, we scored our last two penalties after we missed our first two, these things make a difference in these games."
Marco disclosed the changes he made in the Bengaluru FC setup for the Chennaiyin FC game. He stated:
"Tactical changes helped our game, from going with four at the back to three helped with our ball possession, everything in football is a process and we're getting there step by step and you can see that in the performances."
