"Kerala Blasters have improved a lot. Now they are competing and playing very well. The first half of the last game (3-2 defeat against ATK Mohun Bagan) was a very good example of this. They try to play from the back with very good players but the most important thing is to put our focus on ourselves and compete against a very good team," he added.
With 30 points from 14 games, Mumbai City have recorded as many as eight clean sheets this season and have a three-point lead over ATK Mohun Bagan at the top of the table.
"We need to improve from our last game, especially our style because we conceded two goals in three minutes. We need to start the game better but I don't think we need to change a lot of things because the team conceded five goals - three from penalties before this game.
