As a relatively new fan of Indian football, it's encouraging to see such professional press conferences and clear communication from the club. The "one game at a time" approach is a classic but effective mindset. Best of luck to the Blues!

All the right things said, as expected before a season. But the proof will be on the pitch. Last season our defence was leaky. I hope the "defensive organisation" talk translates into clean sheets. Jai Hind, and come on BFC!

Respectfully, I hope the focus on "proactive attacking" doesn't mean we forget the basics. We have the talent, but consistency has been our biggest enemy. Let's start strong against Delhi. One match at a time is the perfect mantra.

Good to see the preparations are in full swing. The ISL is getting more competitive every year. Home support at the Fortress will be crucial, especially in the big games. All the best to Renedy and the boys! Make us proud.
