Kolkata: Praising the players for their hard work during the pre-season training, Atletico de Kolkata (ATK)âu00c2u0080u00c2u0088coach Jose Molina said that his team was fully prepared to take on defending champions Chennaiyin FC in the campaign opener here today.

“I am very excited about the first match. ATK is a very good team. They put in a lot of efforts. Yes, to start against the champion team is always difficult. But we are a strong team and we are fully prepared and confident of winning our first match,” Molina said.

Molina, however, said that it would have been better had some of the Indian players not missed the team’s pre-season training in Spain.

“It would have been better if they could have attended that training in Spain. Now we have worked hard and prepared a strong team,” the coach said.

Former Spain World Cupper Molina took over the reins of ATK from compatriot Antonio Habas who’s now FC Pune City coach.
