FC Goa’s free-flowing style of play has certainly caught the eye of every Hero Indian Super League (ISL) viewer as the Gaurs occupy second spot in the Hero ISL 2017-18 points table. Striker Ferran Corominas has played a major role in Goa’s strong start to the season having netted seven times, including two hat-tricks. The Spaniard – who bagged the quickest hat-trick in league history in Goa’s last game –spoke to indiansuperleague.com ahead of his side’s match against Delhi Dynamos FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Saturday. Here are the excerpts.

How has your experience in the Hero ISL been so far?

I am very happy with how it has gone so far, and the family is also adapting well to the conditions, and life in Goa. We have only played four games till now, but happy with how it has gone.

How easy has it been for you to gel with your teammates on and off the pitch?

It is always easy to speak to players and the people who speak the same language as you, but I also get along well with the other players, the Indian players in particular, and also some Portuguese and Moroccan players we have in the team. We are all adapting to the idea that the coach has, and so far, so good.

What are your thoughts on your own performance after scoring two consecutive hat-tricks?

It is the team’s performance that is helping me. The team is playing well, and at a level where I am getting the opportunity to score. They are putting the ball right in front of the goalkeeper, which is ensuring the ball goes in.

What are your thoughts on the head coach and his style of play?

I have played against him in Spain as well, when he was with Las Palmas. Even then, they had a similar style. The players were keen to hold possession, and ensure that they pass the ball around well. Even here, we have been very happy with how it has gone so far. All the players that we have in the team, I think we have all adapted to the style of football. It is functioning well so far, so we are all happy.

Goa have signed six Spanish players this season, so will it be safe to say that FC Goa is dictated by a Spanish style of football?

It is true that we have a lot of Spaniards in the team, but ultimately it is (dependent on) the style of play that the coach proposes more than anything else. It is not about where the players are from. We have Indian players in the team as well, but even they are performing well because of the coach. I don’t think it is about nationality, but what the coach expects from the players regardless of which country they are from.
