FC Pune City manager Franco Colomba is hoping for a better result when his side lines up against Mumbai City FC at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai here tomorrow. It will be the second away match for the Deccan outfit who held Delhi Dynamos FC to a goalless draw in the national capital on October 14.“I hope the next game is better and I hope we can win the game. The most important thing is that our team has now come to terms that we are playing in the tournament,” the 59-year-old Italian gaffer said at a pre-match media conference at the stadium tonight before his team had a feel of the turf. "There were a lot of emotions in the first game and the team has now come to terms with that which will definitely impact positively on the performance," Colomba said.The coach conceded that his side did not play well overall, but asserted that his charges defended well. “One point in an away game is a positive achievement. It was a defensive game but after the break we attacked a bit,” he added.Colomba revealed that his son and winger-midfielder Davide and Joaquim Abranches are not fit but all the other players are available for tomorrow. Asked if there is a possibility that he will play an Indian goalkeeper (Emanuele Belardi stood between the posts in the opening fixture) so that he field six foreign outfielders, Colomba replied that it is possible in the future or even tomorrow. “I have 26 players and I have used 14 (in the opening match) and if there is an occasion to use the others, I will,” he explained.Marquee player and captain David Trezeguet who was also present at the press conference along with midfielder Ashutosh Mehta, said the opening encounter in New Delhi was a difficult match as it was against a very technical team. “We defended well and we had great concentration but not many counter attacks. I am happy with the result as our opponents are a good team,” the Frenchman said.Midfielder Mehta, who was one of the bright sparks in the five man midfield that Colomba employs, is returning to his hometown, and is looking forward to the experience of playing in Mumbai. He also admitted that while the team defended well, the attack was not up to the mark and promised that they would be seen in a better attacking light tomorrow. “It was an away match and we made a lot of unforced errors. We are much better than we were in the last game and hopefully you should see that tomorrow,” Mehta said.
