"I don't want to blame any player. I am responsible first then the players. The defenders tried their best last game."

"I always like to take opinions from others. I take suggestions from the players who had played in the ISL last season. "

The Serbian coach refused to cast his judgement on the first round of games in ISL and instead stressed the importance of maintaining fitness throughout the season.
