'We are very happy to be back home' - Odisha FC head coach Josep Gombau

We want to enjoy it we want to see our boys enjoying it on the field and training. We want to continue like that. We have to go out of our comfort zone as that's the way you become better in the life of football, both individually and collectively as a team."
