Atlético de Kolkata will look to bag their first win at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium in Kolkata when they host FC Goa in the 2016 Hero Indian Super League on Sunday. ATK have taken five points from their opening three matches after beating Kerala Blasters FC and drawing against Chennaiyin FC as well as Mumbai City FC. They head into Sunday’s encounter against last season’s runners-up unbeaten and will look to extend Goa’s below-par start to the season that has seen the Gaurs lose all three of their matches so far.Head coach Jose Molina, however, shrugged aside any suggestions of overconfidence within the ATK camp and admitted that Goa’s winless start to the season will only make the Gaurs hungrier for a positive result on Sunday. “I am always confident of the players in my team. But we must not be overconfident. We have had three good games and FC Goa have had three defeats so I am sure it will be a good match, a tough match. They will play very strong since they are looking for their first win,” he said.He continued: “We will have to play harder than them tomorrow to win. It is an important match to us. We are playing at home so we have to try and win every match at home. Especially the one tomorrow, it is very important to us. I hope we will win the game tomorrow.”ATK have never lost to FC Goa in the league and boast a proud record of two wins from their six meetings so far with the other four games ending in draws. Molina though made it clear that he is not one to rest on past laurels. “Every match is different. I don’t think about the past. This is a new season, another game, so every match is different. We have to fight to win. I’m confident that my team can do a great job tomorrow. I am confident about the victory not because of the past but because of what we are doing right now,” said the former Villarreal manager.Skipper Borja Fernandez, who has been a constant at the centre of the park for ATK since Hero ISL 2014, also accompanied Molina at the press conference. When asked for his thoughts on the difference in the managerial styles of former ATK and current FC Pune City head coach Antonio Habas and Molina, the 35-year-old said: “Both coaches have some kind of similarity and some kind of difference in their styles. But overall both are Spanish styles of playing. They both believe in not giving any advantage to the opponent. We have had two great seasons under Antonio Habas and we are sure this season too will be great under Molina.”When asked how confident he was of making a third consecutive semi-final appearance this season, Borja said: “As a team we just think about one match at a time rather than thinking about the semi-finals. For now, we are concentrating on the next match.”
