ATK Mohun Bagan set sail for Maldives ahead of AFC Cup campaign
After nearly two weeks of practice, ATK Mohun Bagan will fly to Maldives on Saturday (August 14, 2021) morning to play in the AFC Cup, with the practice sessions being conducted behind closed doors by head coach Antonio Lopez Habas.
Apart from emphasizing on the physical fitness of Roy Krishna, Pritam Kotal and Amarinder Singh, the Spanish coach has also practiced positional football, passing and penalty kicking. There have been some new practices every day.
Though late, David Williams has also joined the team. He felt satisfied after testing David’s physical ability on the field.
Habas said “David has practiced well. I told the footballers that we are going to play in an international tournament. You have to work hard, you have to give your best.”
Like the coach, footballers are also mentally prepared. ATKMB and Senior National Team forward Manvir Singh said, “I have scored goals for the country in the international tournaments, but I’ve never played in the AFC Cup. I will play wearing the green-maroon jersey. It is a different feeling. We have to win, though I am not thinking of becoming the champion now. The goal is to reach the next round. ”
New signing, and Blue Tigers goalkeeper Amarinder Singh said, “I have played twice in the AFC Cup in another club’s jersey. We have been runners-up once. This time we are going to Maldives to become the champion. The way we have prepared and as we have a strong team, we have a chance to become champions.”
Defender Pritam Kotal stated, “I have played in the AFC Cup twice. Once we even reached the second round. This time our club is stronger. We have seven footballers from the national team. The best foreigners are in the team. We will play to become the champion. ”
