But this is not something the French forward hasn't dealt with in the past. The club's owners have high expectations, and the fans even higher. If you play well but you lose then what's the point? I'm not quite happy with that approach and we will see what happens game after game."Īnelka and Chhetri along with last year's star forward Mortiz are seen as the big three or the game-changers for the Mumbai squad. We try our best to win game because the most important is to win games. But I think we have a strong squad right now. You may have a great squad but you could always finish last on the table.
