“We have always stuck together in good times and in bad,” Mumbai’s coach was spot on in his assessment of his side’s performance so far this season. The Costa Rican is somewhat of a super hero to the fans of Mumbai. After all, he guided them to their first ever semi-final in three attempts.
On more than one occasion, he’s made questionable changes to his first eleven but they’ve always proved to be instrumental. A couple of weeks back, he decided to introduce Cafu instead of Sony Norde against Kerala; Mumbai went on to thump them 5-0.
Tonight, he surprisingly decided to bench Defederico and brought in Leo Costa instead. It paid instant dividends as the Brazilian scored a crucial goal to ensure his side have something to play for in the second leg. Guimaraes is the poised presence on the sidelines that Mumbai desperately needed.
