Kerala Blasters Overcoming Absence of Playmaker Adrian Luna: Coach Ivan Vukomanovic’s Strategy and Defensive Strength

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 29, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Kochi – What will Adrien do without Luna? – This was the concern of Kerala Blasters fans before the tough battles in December. The answer received from the Blasters circles was that there is no substitute for Luna. The answer of the Blasters was that they were confident that even if there is no number 10, they can play with seven, eight and nine. The depth of that answer on the field was the result of their performances against ISL giants Mumbai City and Mohun Bagan.

Evan strategy

Coach Ivan Vukomanovic’s strategy of decentralizing the midfield around Adrien Luna has made Blasters a team that has not caught up with their opponents in the past matches. Instead of the creativity of Luna, who was struggling in the role of a playmaker, Evan put on the field the blood of young players. KP Rahul, Vibin Mohan, Ayman, Azhar and Danish Farooq all lined up in the positional game with high-pressing and high-speed.

Strikers Dimitrios Diamantakos and Kwami Pepra stepped back and took the ball, giving Blasters an ‘advantage’. The intensity of the opponents’ possession game was drained away as attack and defense began to merge in midfield. The results of the attack from the kickoff are not limited to goals. In the first half of the match against Mumbai, ‘Blasters without Luna’ roared into the final third with the ball 26 times. That streak was seen 33 times against Bagan. In both matches, Blasters players entered the opponent’s box 15 times and fired a shot.

Defense is strong

Vukomanovic’s ‘blast’ without Luna should not be added to the attack’s account alone. Another factor that decided the fate of the Blasters was the defensive strength that returned with a clean sheet against the two teams with the sharpest attacking players in the league. With the appointment of Malayali players to fill the absence of Luna in the midfield, the team got the opportunity to field two foreign players in the defense. The efforts of Bagan’s flamboyant stars failed in front of the experienced Blasters defense of Marko Leskovic, Milos Drincic and Pritam Kotal. The clearance figures of the Blasters defense are also good with 27 tackles in both matches. Lesko and his team made 58 clearances against Mumbai and Bagan’s Bada warm-ups.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 27, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Kolkata. Kerala Blasters defeated Mohun Bagan Super Giants for the first time in the history of Indian Super League. The Blasters won by a one-sided goal at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Greek forward Dimitrios Diamentakos scored the only goal of the match in the ninth minute. The dominance gained by Blasters in the first half was lost in the second half but held on without conceding a goal.

With their eighth win, Blasters jumped to the first position in the table with 26 points from 12 matches. FC Goa is in the second position with 23 points from nine games. This is the first time Mohun Bagan has lost three consecutive matches in a season. They are fifth with 19 points.

Blasters rocked Bagan

The first half of the match was moments when Mohun Bagan trembled in front of Blasters’ attacks. In the third minute, with only Mohun Bagan goalie Vishal Keith in front, Blasters’ Greek forward Dimitrios Diamentakos hit the bar and went out. But Diamentakos changed that fatigue by taking the lead in the ninth minute. Dimi’s shot after a solo move inside the Mohun Bagan box put Blasters ahead. After that, Mohun Bagan counter-attacked for the equalizing goal. Sachin Suresh came to Blasters’ rescue with excellent saves.

In the 34th minute, Blasters’ attempt to score took advantage of Bagan goalie’s mistake. Blasters player Kwame Pepra tries to aim for the post after catching Vishal Keith’s pass. But a weak shot was saved by Vishal Keith. In the 39th minute, a smashing shot by Rahul KP hit the Bagan post and went out. Mohun Bagan were not in the picture in the last few minutes of the first half, constantly attacked by the Blasters. But a second goal was not scored in the first half. In the first half, Blasters managed to stop Bagan without taking a single shot.

The way Dimi’s goal came – The first goal was scored in a one-on-one fight by Diamentakos, who are leading the league’s goal scorers. Dimi jumped from outside the box with the ball and tricked the Bagan defenders into the box. The ball hit the net with a great shot. The Bagan goalie tried to jump but could not stop the ball.

Defensive second half

Kian Naziri and Subhashish Bose tried to find the target for Bagan early in the second half but failed. In the 53rd minute, Blasters went ahead with a good counter-attack. A pass from Mohammad Aiman who jumped with the ball to Rahul. Rahul took a good shot but the ball went over the bar. In the 63rd minute, Bagan’s young Indian Kian Nasiri stormed the Blasters goal with the ball. But before taking the shot, Blasters captain Marko Leskovic knocked the ball away. Aiming to equalize, Bagan brought on trusted forward Manvir Singh as a substitute in the 67th minute. But Blasters held on without conceding the goal. After Bagan’s Sadiku was brought down by Navocha Singh in the 76th minute, the Kolkata players demanded a penalty. But the referee did not accept it.

In the 82nd minute, Manveer Singh’s threat to Blasters was thwarted by defender Milos Drinkic. In the 90th minute, Blasters player Mohammad Azhar got a yellow card for trying to bring down Sadiku. Manveer Singh failed to score the free kick in the last minute. Rahul’s shot fails in the immediate counter attack. Goalie Vishal Keith deflected the youngster’s shot. Bagan got one more free kick in extra time of the match but it didn’t matter. In the 95th minute, a smashing shot by Daisuke Saka from Rahul’s pass was saved by the Kolkata goalie. Blasters’ first ISL win against Bagan after six minutes of extra time.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Kerala Blasters FC is progressing in the 10th season of the Indian Super League in brilliant form. Yellow Army is second in the points table after 11 rounds of matches. In the twelfth match to be held on Thursday, the opponents of Kerala Blasters are the strong Mohun Bagan Super Giants. Kerala Blasters are going into this game with the confidence of destroying Mumbai City FC in the last game.

At the same time, Kerala Blasters, who are about to play against Mohun Bagan, have a big headache. It means that one player who is an integral part of the team this season will not be in this game. Malayalee midfielder Vibin Mohanan (Vibin Mohanan) is sure not to be available for selection against Mohun Bagan.

Blasters Instagram Interaction: Yellow Army tops the list of Asian clubs!

Vib suffered an injury during the match against Mumbai City FC last day. The coach Ivan Vukomanovic himself mentioned the other day that the player who kicked his ankle may not be in the match against Mohun Bagan. Against a strong team like Mohun Bagan, the absence of Vibin in the team is sure to be a heavy blow for Kerala Blasters. With Vibin out, there will be a decisive change in the Kerala Blasters line-up in this game. Let’s take a look at the likely changes and team lineup for Kerala Blasters against Mohun Bagan.

Sachin Suresh will keep the net for Kerala Blasters against Mohun Bagan. Sachin comes into this game after a clean sheet against the mighty Mumbai City. In defense, the Yellow Army will field two foreign players again. It will be Marko Leskovic and Milos Drincic. Pritam Kotal is expected to play at right back and Navocha Singh at left back. The places of Rahul KP, Danish Farooq and Mohammad Ayman are assured in the middle order.
Blasters have a new worry after the win; Injury to the superstar, will the team get work!

Vibin Mohanan who was injured in the last game will not be available for the selection. Instead of Vib, another Malayali player, Mohammad Azhar, may get a place in the starting line-up. Earlier in the last game, when Vibin was out injured, Azar entered the field as a substitute. Greek player Dimitrios Diamantakos and Ghanaian player Kwame Pepra will line up in the forward. The duo also performed brilliantly against Mumbai City FC, scoring a goal and an assist each.

Kerala Blasters Probable Starting Lineup: Sachin Suresh (Goalkeeper), Pritam Kotal, Milos Drincic, Marko Leskovic, Navocha Singh, Rahul KP, Danish Farooq, Vibin Mohanan, Mohammad Aiman, Dimitrios Diamantakos, Kwame Pepra.
