August:-FC Goa has
confirmed the re-signing of central defenders, Gregory Arnolin and Luciano
Sobrosa and striker Rafael Coelho for the third season of the Hero Indian Super
League. Gregory has been the mainstay in FC Goa's defence from the first
season. The defender is blessed with astute physical prowess and the ability to
read the game well. In partnership with World Cup winning defender, Lucio, he
was one of the major reasons the team had a successful run to the finals of the
second edition. Gregory is also a potential goal threat for his side especially
at set pieces, having netted twice in the first season and once in the second
season with powerful headers.
The
Martinique International endeared himself to the fan base with brilliant
displays on the pitch and will be looking forward to going one step further in
the third season after finishing up with runners up medal in the second season.
He said that he is very happy to sign with FC Goa
again. He has been at this club from the first season and we have made it to
the semi-finals and then the finals. This year he hopes to be able to win the
ISL with FC Goa for the fans. He will give his best so that FC Goa can be
champions of the ISL.
Brazilian
defender Luciano Sobrosa was an able understudy to both Gregory and Lucio in
the second season. He made seven solid appearances for Zico's team and
impressed the legendary coach during this stint. The 37 year old has been a
veteran in the Indian football circuit with stints at various Indian clubs like
Salgaocar, Sporting Goa and most recently, Mohun Bagan.
Coelho
was signed mid-season last year after an injury to striker Victor Simoes ruled
him out for the season. He was an instant hit with the fans with his tireless
work ethic on the pitch. His constant threat in the box was a huge boost to the
team in their run to the finals of the tournament.
