Preview: ATK Mohun Bagan vs Dhaka Abahani
Juan Ferrando’s team demolished Sri Lankan champions Blue Star in the previous round. While on the other hand, Dhaka Abahani got a walkover in the previous round against Club Valencia. After the Maldivian club wasn’t able to travel to Bangladesh due to financial issues.
Ahead of their big match against Abahani, ATK Mohun Bagan’s Spanish gaffer Juan Ferrando accepted that they will have a stern test against the Dhaka team. As he said, “It will be a difficult game tomorrow”.
On the other hand former Indian Super League champions Rafael Augusto will be a key figure for Mario Lemos’s Dhaka Abahani.
Quizzed about Bagan’s game plan Juan quipped, “My challenge will be to make our team the best team. I am not focusing on any one player from the opponent. Rather I am focusing on building the best team as the best team wins the game”.
