"People have been talking to me about this since I arrived in India so am looking forward to it," said Coppell.
A lacklustre Blasters succumbed to a 0-1 defeat against NorthEast in the opening game on October 1. Coppell admitted his team was not unified yet and identified losing possession cheaply as the prime reason for getting beaten at Guwahati.
"We kept giving the ball away. It was may be first night nerves, may be just playing away from home. I really can't understand. But obviously we have to be better in front of our own supporters.
"We have to keep the ball better. It's important that we have possession of the ball," said Coppell.
