FC Goa had a terrific season last time around making it to semifinal before they were beaten by eventual winners Chennaiyin FC. The expectations are high from the Gaurs and they will be led by a new captain this time around in midfield maestro Mandar Rao Desai who has been a part of the franchise since the league’s inception in 2014. With an added responsibility of captaincy, Mandar said he hopes to continue doing well while not putting any additional pressure on himself.
