5.45 p.m .: Podcast – The merger between ATK and Mohun Bagan for ISL 2020-21 seemed like a heavenly match, but the fans didn’t look happy. Our reporters Shyam Vasudevan, Aashin Prasad and Amitabha Das Sharma deal in the latest episode of ‘The Full Time Show’ with the reasons for the displeasure of the fans and the angry hashtag #RemoveATK.The seventh edition of the Indian Super League started on November 20th in a bio-bubble in Goa.
During the four-month tournament, eleven teams will play against each other in a league and playoff format at three venues. After the inclusion of SC East Bengal, 115 games will be played this season, up from 95 last season.
FC Odisha will be looking for a rare source of joy when they play against the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Saturday second placed ATK Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21). Odisha FC has had a grim season with just one win, and it only got worse when head coach Stuart Baxter was sacked last week after unsavory comments after the Jamshedpur loss.
Interim coach Gerald Peyton has a Herculean task ahead of him as he’s trying to rebuild his squad against Antonio Habas’ soaring ATK Mohun Bagan. Odisha, who languishes at the bottom of the table, has the second worst defense in the league and will miss the services of club captain and Newcastle legend Steven Taylor due to a suspension for one game.
The attack didn’t impress either, as the Team is heavily dependent on Diego Mauricio for goals in the run-up. The Brazilian has scored over 50 percent of Odisha FC’s goals this season.
Before the game, Peyton said: « If you look at almost all of the games we’ve played, we were only a fraction of them (results to It was a goal in every game to find the right combination. » Win games I’m sure we will find that. «
He added, » We had a couple of meetings and it was very, very positive for everyone connected. It brought us together. All older players and all Indian players, we come together now. We’re going to show a very positive attitude in the last six games and a determination to win as many games as possible and move the club forward. “
ATK Mohun Bagan comes into play after a lion hearted comeback against Kerala Blasters. The Mariners conceded twice but came back well to take on Roy Krishna’s brace and take a 3-2 win. The arrival of Marcelo Pereira added a new dimension to the attack, while the signing of midfielder Lenny Rodrigues will further strengthen the Habas side. However, the Mariners have to do without Carl McHugh, who is out due to suspension, and are keen to tackle the defensive problems in which they only conceded one goal in five games.
« The (level of) competition in the ISL means that there are no small teams. There are special situations in which the players are always more motivated when the team changes their head coach. We have to play the game just like we would have against a strong team like Mumbai City, « said Habas.
ATK Mohun Bagan won the game 1-0 when the two teams last met.
