Pena’s
first
season
as
Goa’s
head
coach
has
gone
off
to
a
positive
start
as
he
saw
his
side
claim
two
victories
from
the
opening
three
ISL
games.
And
now,
finally,
he
comes
home,
to
play
in
front
of
fans
who
once
adored
him
as
a
player.
Now
he
wants
them
to
have
his
back
as
their
gaffer.

Speaking
to
FC
Goa
Media
ahead
of
playing
at
Fatorda
in
front
of
Goa’s
vociferous
crowd,
he
reached
out
to
the
fans,
saying,
“I
want
to
play
in
front
of
a
full
stadium.
That’s
how
I
last
played
here.
I
know
about
the
passion
the
fans
have
for
football
and
the
Club.
They’ve
always
had
our
back
and
I’m
sure
they’ll
be
there
for
us
again.
“Last
time,
we
couldn’t
get
any
point
despite
trying
till
the
last
minute.
We
learnt
a
lot
and
now
look
forward.
I
want
to
thank
the
fans
who
traveled
to
Hyderabad,
you
guys
are
wonderful.
We’re
waiting
for
you
on
Thursday
in
Fatorda.
Together
we
are
stronger!
“I
really
feel
that
we’re
one
team
and
we
need
to
create
an
environment
that
makes
our
opponents
afraid
every
time
they
think
of
playing
in
Goa,
to
make
their
lives
on
the
pitch
difficult.
And
I
promise
that
we’ll
fight
to
put
a
smile
on
our
fans’ faces
and
to
make
them
happy.”
One
can
say
whether
it
is
fate,
others
or
just
coincidence.
When
FC
Goa
walks
out
to
the
pitch
on
Thursday
night,
it
will
be
972
days
since
the
Goa
faithful
experienced
a
home
match
at
their
fortress
in
Fatorda.
Pena
brought
down
the
curtains
on
his
playing
career
the
last
time
the
Gaurs
visited
their
fortress
and
now
he
will
be
looking
to
consolidate
on
a
bright
start
to
his
coaching
career.
The
Spaniard
helped
script
many
a
memorable
night
at
Fatorda.
And
now
he
looks
back
at
his
time
in
the
Orange
of
FC
Goa
with
much
fondness.
“It
gives
me
chills
thinking
about
going
back
to
Fatorda.
It’s
a
special
feeling.
All
of
us
are
very
excited.
We
are
looking
forward
to
being
back
in
the
stadium,
playing
in
front
of
our
fans.
And
hopefully,
we
can
give
them
a
victory,”
the
Spaniard
stated.
“I
remember
the
trips
to
the
stadium
before
every
matchday.
The
colours
would
get
more
Orange
as
we
got
closer
to
Fatorda.
Looking
at
them
welcoming
us
to
the
stadium
–
it
made
us
feel
like
we
were
coming
home.
“Last
time
I
was
on
the
pitch,
I
didn’t
know
that
would
be
my
last
time
playing.
No
one
knew
that
would
be
the
last
time
in
so
many
years,
the
fans
would
see
their
own
team.
This
has
been
a
learning
experience
for
all
of
us
around
the
world.
It
has
taught
us
that
we
need
to
celebrate
every
moment
that
we’ve
together.”
