Delhi Dynamos FC marquee player-cum-coach Roberto Carlos cut a satisfied figure following his team’s 1-1 draw at home against NorthEast United FC in the 2015 Hero Indian Super League on Tuesday evening. Hosts Delhi were in the driver’s seat at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium when Richard Gadze scored the match’s first goal in the first half but Simao Sabrosa’s magical free-kick in the second half cancelled out the Ghanaian’s effort.Carlos, whose team went level with FC Pune City at the top on 13 points, wasn’t unduly worried at the post-match press conference.“NorthEast has some good players and we are still on top of the table which is very important,” he told reporters.Also, for the first time this season the legendary Brazilian started for his side. On his outing, he said: “I’ve gone so long without playing. I feel good. If I were only a player and not a coach, obviously my psyche would be different. But now if I play more often I can be better.”When asked did Delhi miss Carlos the coach and his tactics on Tuesday, he said: “Today was a different responsibility. We suffered a little at the start but when I am on the pitch, it is easier for me to lead.”Among all eight teams in the league, Delhi have scored the least number of goals (six). When asked was that a matter of concern for him, he replied in the negative. “No not worrying about that. Sometimes your offensive part will score more, sometimes won’t. Today we have the same amount of points as the team [FC Pune City] in the first place [ahead on goal difference],” he said.Carlos also made it clear that he wasn’t very big on the idea of squad rotation. “I will only change if required. In Brazil we don’t change when we’re winning. Obviously when the players are performing well in training, they will have a chance to play. They should use their opportunity to perform... They can work hard to perform and get in the starting 11,” he said.
