In the Match 3 of ISL 2020-21, FC Goa will lock horns against star-studded Bengaluru FC on Sunday. The 2018-19 ISL finalists look to start their season on a winning momentum. FC Goa will be playing under their new head coach Juan Ferrando and they have also bolstered their team with the addition of fresh foreign players. “We would continue to play attacking brand of football, playing the game on the front foot. That is the philosophy of the club and that is what really attracted me to the job. It is aligned with the kind of football I believe in,” Ferrando said ahead of the clash.Also Read - Any IPL Scouts Watching? Sunil Chhetri Is Up For the Grabs | Football Meets Cricket
