Atlético de Kolkata is the only team not to have lost a game in the 2016 Hero Indian Super League and they would look to continue their good work when take on Mumbai City FC on Tuesday, for the second time this season after a 1-1 draw at the Mumbai Football Arena earlier this month. Mumbai City have got just two points from their last four matches witnessing a big dip in their form, and ATK head coach Molina thinks it is a good opportunity for his team to take advantage of the visitors’ under-confidence and go top of the league ahead of NorthEast United FC with a win.

“Of course, it is a good chance to get three points and this is what we want but I know they didn’t have a few good results in the last few games and we played against them two weeks ago and it was a tough game and we could have lost that game in the first half with the way they played and we have had only three matches with more than one goal and it is really difficult to win and we have to be very clear in our mind that we want to win tomorrow and that we will have to work hard to win,” Molina told reporters ahead of the match at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium.

When asked to assess their opponents for Tuesday’s game, the 46-year-old Spaniard said: “I think that they are a strong team and they have very good defenders and a good goalkeeper with fast and attacking strikers and their midfielders also work very hard and there are some players with good individual skills but football is a team sport and it is the team which has the power and not one or two players.”

Molina also insisted Diego Forlan wasn’t the only dangerous player in the Mumbai team. “Forlan is dangerous. Yes, we do have a plan for him of course but we got to concentrate on their other players as well like [Matias] Defederico and [Sony] Norde as both of them are different players and can do something different so that is our plan and we will try to defend well as a team and defending does not mean just four defenders, it is the whole team that has to defend together, try to press up when we want to and come back and defend when required, and we have been working on this from the start but yes sometimes we do make some mistakes but I am happy with the way the team is defending and of course tomorrow in the match, we have to defend well as they have brilliant strikers and if we have a lot of possession then we don’t need to defend a lot,” Molina said.

Molina also hinted at a possible return for marquee player Helder Postiga, who has been unavailable for the last three matches. “I don’t know as we will have to see and I will know more only after the training session which we have now and yesterday he did train with the team but he has had fifteen days without playing or training so maybe we can put him on the bench,” he said.

ATK striker Iain Hume, who scored 11 goals last season, has been a bit off-colour by his own standards. His two goals so far have come through penalties. However, Molina wasn’t too concerned over the form of his ace striker. “I think our strikers are playing very well. Helder Postiga played very well in first two matches. Agreed my strikers haven’t scored too many goals and Iain Hume has only scored from the penalty spot. But he has created a lot of chances. It is important to create chances to score. I would not worry about my strikers as they are creating chances to score and any moment they will score. Their movement on the pitch is very good and we are working on the last touch, to finish off such moves and keep improving.”
