Chennai: It’s a little too early in the season for hosts and defending champions Chennaiyin FC to be even contemplating pressing the one button that most would like to avoid — panic. Agreed, this wasn’t how they would have envisaged their title defence would get off to, but if there is one silver lining amidst the gloom, it is that their opponents on Thursday, FC Goa find themselves in the same rickety boat.
In fact, Goa are in an even inferior position having lost both their opening fixtures and another defeat may just force their manager Zico into cracking the whip.
Goa more than any other team should know well that there is no greater folly than to write off Chennaiyin, who are past masters at rousing themselves from a situation where no other team would even dare think of a rearguard action.
