FollowMumbai City FC's head coach, Petr Kratky, shared his thoughts after their convincing 2-0 victory over Bengaluru FC in Matchweek 15 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 season. Kratky expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, emphasising the initial challenges faced against Bengaluru's strong start.
The Islanders, despite a slow beginning, took control when Lallianzuala Chhangte assisted Vikram Partap Singh for his second goal of the season in the 42nd minute. Singh extended the lead with another goal in the 58th minute, capitalising on Iker Guarrotxena's precise cross.

Following a setback against Jamshedpur FC on February 4, 2024, where Mumbai City FC faced a shocking defeat, Kratky praised his team's resilience in bouncing back with consecutive wins and clean sheets.
Expressing satisfaction with the defensive performance, Kratky emphasised the importance of continuous effort and taking each game as it comes. He downplayed concerns about the League Shield race, redirecting focus to the upcoming game against Chennaiyin FC and emphasising the team's commitment to a game-by-game approach.
"I'm not looking for the end of the season. I'm looking for Chennaiyin FC now," Kratky stated. He concluded the press conference by reiterating the message of consistent hard work, emphasizing the significance of training, recovery, and maintaining a game-by-game perspective to see how the season unfolds.
