#2 Albert Roca has many questions to answer

Albert Roca needs to start finding answers

Albert Roca may have guided Bengaluru FC to the AFC Cup finals last year, but it seems like he has completely lost the plot of late. His philosophy of passing football which should be the mantra for anyone who has been a coach at FC Barcelona, seems to have completely evaporated and has been replaced with the long ball philosophy instead.

Despite having quality ball players like Udanta Singh and Cameron Watson in the side, he decided to play a counter-attacking game and was torn apart, just like in the reverse fixture at Barasat Stadium in January.

His tactics backfired on both occasions, and he must do some soul-searching if his team are to make amends for their poor outing this campaign.
