“We
have
a
good
balance
of
youth
and
experience.
We
have
some
domestic
players
who
are
at
a
good
level
and
have
played
for
the
national
team.
It’s
a
good
team
and
now
we
need
to
work
hard.
We
need
to
make
players
play
in
their
preferred
position
so
that
they
can
give
their
best
for
the
team,”
an
experienced
Montenegrin
said
while
addressing
the
media
during
a
virtual
press
conference
ahead
of
the
club’s
pre-season.

The
current
Chennaiyin
FC
squad
boast
of
experienced
players
such
as
Rafael
Crivellaro,
Ariel
Borysiuk,
Mirlan
Murzaev
and
Vladimir
Koman
alongside
some
exciting
young
talents
such
as
Anirudh
Thapa,
Davinder
Singh
and
Ninthoinganba
Meetei
in
their
ranks.

“We
all
know
that
they
[youngsters]
are
good
players
but
in
football
making
progress
you
need
to
work
hard
and
they
will
work
hard.
I
see
the
space
where
they
can
improve.
We
will
work
together
tactically
to
improve
them
because
they
can
do
it.
With
the
good
work
they
can
make
a
good
career.
They
are
the
future,”
he
added.

The
coach
further
stated
that
the
club
has
the
quality
and
ability
to
score
goals,
and
the
upcoming
season
will
be
better.

CFC
will
begin
their
pre-season
training
on
Sunday
in
South
Goa
which
will
be
followed
by
few
friendly
matches.

“As
a
coach
I
don’t
agree
with
a
long
pre-season.
I
think
eight
weeks
are
enough
to
make
them
run
for
90
minutes
and
be
refreshed
at
the
same
time.
I
spoke
to
the
club
about
having
6-7
friendly
games
but
because
of
the
difficult
situation,
we
need
to
see
which
teams
are
free
and
when
it’s
good
for
us
to
play
the
matches,”
the
52-year-old
tactician
said.

Chasing
the
coveted
trophy
for
the
third
time,
Chennaiyin
FC
will
begin
their
campaign
against
Hyderabad
FC
on
November
23
as
the
2021-22
Hero
ISL
set
to
kick
off
on
November
19
in
Goa.
