Sergio Lobera I am very proud and happy to make the final. Its very special to play in final for me. I have very good players and personalities in dressing room. THey deserve to enjoy this moment and hopefully to win the trophy for the people who believed in us at the start. My focus is on the final. I wish them [FC Goa and Ferrando] the best in the Champions League. They played very good and in penalties everything is possible. When I was working in Spain, there are no penalties when you finish in top of the table. I want to win the trophy. [On goalkeeper change and no shots on target] About Amrinder, it was a decision of gking coach. It was a brave decision by my coach. For me, Amrinder is best goalkeeper in India but Purba can do a good job in penalties. It was a very difficult game. In 2 legs we suffered because we didnt have possesion of the ball.

Juan Ferrando [On chat with Match commissioner] I prefer not to talk about it. Eevrybody saw the game and saw the strange decisions. I had 6 players with big injuries. Princeton maybe out for one month. edu Bedia played with pain after tackle against HFC. Its impossible to play football here. At the end, I have good squad but I am scared of the injuries. I want to play football. We made a different system to win against Mumbai. Its necssary to focus on other details but. Squad of Mumbai is very good and expensive, Difficult to work in these situations. [All out approach
