Panaji: FC Goa have added firepower upfront with the promotion of strikers Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco to the first team.The young strikers were part of FC Goa’s developmental squad but coach Sergio Lobera was impressed with their abilities and decided to hand them a promotion. The next edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) starts November 17.“I think the club is doing very well and the ‘B’ team has lots of quality. Whenever there is an opportunity to join the first team, it is important that the players are ready. Knowing that we have limited number that we can choose from, it will change after first five matches of the ISL,” said Lobera.Liston has been among the most promising players in Goa and was instrumental in Salgaocar FC’s triumph in the Goa Pro League last season. He was also the highest goal-getter for Goa in the Santosh Trophy when the hosts lost to Bengal in the final. Incidentally, Bengal’s last-minute winner was scored by Manvir, who is now also part of the FC Goa senior squad.“It is important that players from B team who we think are likely to make the jump, integrate with the team. They must understand our way of working and style of play,” said Lobera.It is for this reason that Jonathan Cardozo and Kingslee Fernandes have also been made part of the FC Goa’s team for pre-season in Spain.The Goan franchise left for Spain early this month and suffered two defeats in their first two matches but redeemed themselves with back-to-back victories against Deportiva Minera (3-0) and CD Algar Deportivo (3-1).FC Goa play the last of their friendlies against FC Cartagena ‘B’ late on Thursday and will then head back home where they are scheduled to play friendly matches against I-League giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan on November 3 and 9 respectively.
