Bagan and Mumbai circle Vukuminovich; Will the Blasters coach leave the Yellow Jackets in the middle of the season?
With the rise to the number one position in the Indian Super League, the Kerala Blasters have many superstars. But the real superstar is coach Ivan Vukuminovich, who is smoking his head for the team's victory. In the Indian Super League, where the head coach is the head coach, the super teams are flying in circles above the coach of the yellow team. Former league champions ATK and Mumbai City are reportedly following the Blasters coach. But fans are also waiting to hear what the club coach has to say about the move to renew the contracts of players on the amazing team. ATK Mohan Bagan was the first coach to be sacked for the team's poor performance. ATK Goa coach Juan Fernando has been sacked after he knocked out two-time Antonio Habas at half-time.
With Fernando out of the league half, the team is not doing well either. With the move of the head coach to Kolkata, Goa is also in a position to find a new foreign coach. Former champions Mumbai City are also interested in Vukuminovich. Mumbai, who have been playing under Desmond Buckingham this season, are in a precarious position. They have lost three of the last five games they have played. The team that performed best under Lobera last season is in fourth place this season. According to Vukuminovich, the only thing on his mind right now is the Blasters. Vukomanovic has made it clear that certain things in the contract are clear and that he will be with the Blasters next season as well. So the information is not to worry for the time being.
Coach ‘Super’ Mario, bus parking; In the end, East Bengal also won
East Bengal came to play at the Bambolim Athletic Stadium in Goa with 2 newcomers. Coach Mario Rivera and another 'bus'. The Spanish coach sat on the plaster, gently. The ‘bus’ brought by the team crossed the field in front of their own post. The result, the Red and Gold Army's first victory in ISL football. Kolkata had to wait until the twelfth match of the eighth season for a win. Despite FC Goa leading the way in passing and possession of the ball most of the time, they were unable to break down the bus stopped by East Bengal. The team was relieved of their last place with a 2–1 win over Goa. East Bengal are currently in 10th position with 9 points. Bottom is North East United. With the defeat, Goa finished ninth.
The most defensive game in football is the so-called 'bus parking' method. The incident is simple. Most players and most of the time stand like a fence in front of their own post. Like a bus stopping across. Defend the attacks of the opposing team in any way. Attack only when given the opportunity, and only in emergencies, with only one or two players in front. Then return immediately and line up in the parking lot with the rear passengers. As soon as they took to the field against Goa on Wednesday, it was soon realized that this was the team's strategy. Because most of the time, the Kolkata team played only one striker. Navoram Mahesh Singh, who played alone, scored 2 goals for the team. The bus parking defense is a strategy that the Icelandic team successfully tested at the 2016 Euro Cup and last World Cup. It was also the backbone of this strategy that the big teams, the small team Iceland, captured. This strategy was used by Iceland to beat Argentina in the World Cup and Iran to tie against Spain.
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is the mastermind behind the experiment. The Goan team, which displayed excellent play and excellent passing throughout the game, struggled eighteen times to win anyway, but the bus broke down for captain Edu Bedia and his team. Meanwhile, Mahesh Singh scored from an error by Edu Bedia and Anwar Ali. The Red and Gold team responded by tightening the defense to Govan's confidence that they could retaliate in the final 45 minutes for a loss at the break. Raju Geekwad was brought in by East Bengal early in the second half to strengthen the defense by pulling out captain Mohammad Rafique, who had been playing as a striker. With that, the defense got stronger than the first half. It became an unbreakable wall for the powerful, including Eduardia, Ortiz and Alberto Noguevara. Most of the time the game was in the middle of the Kolkata team. East Bengal attacked in the second half only on a few occasions in the fall. Even in that attack, there was no determination to score. Instead, the goal was to somehow finish the game.
Ivan, who has been dubbed the best coach of the tournament, was rumored to be being watched by big clubs.
The football world is of the opinion that this season is the best team the Kerala Blasters have fielded in the history of ISL. Halfway through the season, Kerala's own horns are at the top of the points table.

'My parents taught me that there are some things that money cannot buy. Pride, dignity and personality. I am happy with KBFC and management. I do not think it's possible to move to another club, "he told to Medias . Vukumanovich will replace Kibu Vikuna as the Blasters' coach.

The Blasters have not lost in ten consecutive games since losing to Mohan Bagan in the first leg. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the team is unbeaten in so many matches. The team is getting better and better with each passing game. The forward line, which includes Alvaro Vasquez, Pereira Dias, Adrian Luna and Sahal Abdul Samad, is the best of the tournament. Putia and Jackson Singh leading the battle in the midfield with the vigor of youth. In defense, foreign players Leskovic and Sipovic, along with Harmanjot Khabra, Nishukumar and youngster Hormipam. The Blasters are also the least conceded team. Keeper Gill is also in brilliant form. It was Vukumanovich who turned midfielder Sahal into a goal machine in the final third and made Jackson and Putia the best midfielders. What makes Ivan different is that he has found Matt who has played with many coaches.
