'We have to be prepared'- Chennaiyan FC Head Coach Thomas Brdaric Speaks Of Plans To Exploit ATK Mohun Bagan’s Weaknesses

In their first game of the new season of the Indian Super League, Chennaiyin FC will face ATK Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium. Head coach Thomas Brdaric expressed excitement about starting his journey in the tournament as he attempts to build a new Chennaiyin FC.

The German head coach wants to build an aggressive team that will take the game to their opponents even on their own turf. He expressed his excitement for the game, which will bring fans back to the Kolkata stadium.

During the press conference, when asked about the weak links in their opponent's defence, he stated that he wanted to exploit even the smallest of their weaknesses. " It's difficult to figure out weak spots because on a high level you don't have too many weaknesses," he said.

"We have to be at our best if we want to exploit the small weaknesses of the opponent. We have to be prepared and very attentive all the time against the ball and to understand in which parts of the zone you have to use the ball when you have it. You have to take advantage when the opponent makes mistakes," Brdaric added.

When asked to rate ATK Mohun Bagan's team, Brdaric said that he was excited to play the season opener in front of the Mohun Bagan crowd. He also stated that ATK Mohun Bagan is a massive club with a long history of success in Indian football.

"ATK Mohun Bagan are a huge club with a lot of achievements in Indian football in the past. It is special for me that my first match is against them in this big stadium. I hope there are a lot of ATK Mohun Bagan fans in the stadium and let's hope we can all enjoy this match. Hopefully, we get a positive result," he said.
