Mumbai City FC (MCFC) open their Indian Super League campaign against NorthEast United (NEUFC) today and coach Sergio Lobera wants his team to quickly adjust to the new normal and get off the blocks with a win at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco, Goa.

Lobera, 43, will come up against another Spaniard, Gerard Nus, who took over the reins of the Highlanders in August. The franchise-based league's seventh edition is being played in a bio-bubble in Goa due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and MCFC had to shorten their pre-season due to this, making things tougher.
