Should the Kerala Blasters FC match change…? Some critics believe that there is. However, there is another argument that the 2022-2023 season is only one game away, so now is not the time to discuss these issues. In this context, the words of Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic are noteworthy. In the Indian Super League football (Indian Super League), most of the teams come as a set after each match. The team is closing gaps and getting stronger with every game – this is the observation of Ivan Vukomanovic, entering his second season in the Indian Super League. And that is true. Kerala Blasters FC did not play in Durant Cup 2022. Another fact is that the teams including ATK Mohun Bagan who played there still had bad luck.
Finish should be improved
All the teams except FC Goa have completed the first round match. Only Kerala Blasters, Odisha FC, Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC have won. Defending champions Hyderabad FC and former champions Mumbai City FC were drawn. Kerala Blasters FC is the most attacking team in the first five matches. Kerala Blasters FC made 10 shots on target. However, only three of them were scored.
Despite midfielders Apostolas Gianou and Dimitrios Diamantakos in the squad, Kerala Blasters FC needed midfielders Adrian Luna and Ivan Kaliushni to score in their first game against East Bengal. Kerala Blasters FC need to make up for the lack of finishing in the upcoming matches.

Passing is key
This is the age where football has become a passing game. The Spanish team’s tiki taka is the epitome of the passing game. Fans can expect a better passing game from Kerala Blasters FC in the 2022 – 2023 season. Fans dream of the Kerala Blasters who weave through one-touch and two-touch passes and rattle the goal net.
Looking at the matches so far, Kerala Blasters are just an average team in terms of passing accuracy. Kerala Blasters have only 74 percent passing accuracy. ATK Mohun Bagan, who lost to Chennaiyin FC, lead in passing accuracy so far with 82 percent. Kerala Blasters are third behind Bengaluru FC with 81 percent. Only ATK Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC have had more than 80 percent passing accuracy in the matches played so far.
Protect, Sink
The East Bengal club is better than last season but obviously not as strong as Kerala Blasters FC. However, they took advantage of some lapses in the Kerala Blasters defence. Goalie Prabhsukhan Singh Gill intervened to avert the danger, but there are signs that things are not safe. There are those who point out that the midfield and the attack are out of sync. This is a failure in communication. Kerala Blasters tried to do more high ball passing in the first game and were not very successful.

There is a way to comfort
However, Kerala Blasters FC fans have one thing to cheer for, Ivan Kaliushni. Adian Luna was the only magician of Kerala Blasters in the 2021-2022 season, while Ivan Kalyuzhnyi also wore the mantle of the magician in the 2022-2023 season, that too with a double goal in the first game of the season.
