ATK Mohun Bagan Eye Comeback Against Chennaiyin FC

Goa: ATK Mohun Bagan have dropped five points in their last two games in the Indian Super League (ISL). The Kolkata team lost against Mumbai City FC and drew with FC Goa that nearly cost them the second spot. However, as they prepare to take on Chennaiyin FC on Thursday, coach Antonio Habas claimed he has "no added pressure", despite results going against his side.

"There is no added pressure. In championships, you have good moments and sometimes bad. We have played the last two games against the top two teams — FC Goa and Mumbai City FC — who are capable of winning the league. We are in the top half of the table. Maybe we need to improve," said Habas.

Habas's side has created the least number of chances (81) this season and has attempted just 35 shots on target. They have also scored just 11 — the joint-second-lowest in the league

The Spaniard was quick to defend the team's attackers and said: "We need to find the right balance between attack and defence. I wouldn't prefer scoring and conceding 25 goals. That's not good for me."

Roy Krishna, their main attacking outlet, scored five goals in his first six matches but since then, he has scored just one in the last five. When questioned about the Fijian's form, Habas quipped: "Don't worry, this situation will happen. I don't have any problem. This is football. We have to continue our work. Our idea is to get three points in every match. After that we can think about the playoffs." (IANS)
