ATK Mohun Bagan vs RF Young Champs
ATK Mohun Bagan will face Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC), who are the third-place occupants from Group B. The Mariners had drawn against West Ham United FC earlier in the tournament whereas RFYC defeated Sudeva Delhi FC 1-0. These results propelled them to finish at the penultimate spot in the standings. The two teams have demonstrated some impressive competitiveness as they have stayed true to their footballing philosophies irrespective of the stature of the opposition that they have come across in the tournament.
They have been dynamic going forward and resilient on the defensive front simultaneously. The upcoming game is an excellent opportunity for them to showcase the progress that they have made in their gameplay after the experiences of the last couple of weeks.
“The experience during the Reliance Foundation presents Premier League Next Generation Cup has been fantastic. There are clubs from three different countries. So far, we have only played two Premier League sides but both teams were very competitive. My personal opinion is that we have proven that we can compete against Premier League teams both technically and tactically. Of course, we face a lot of challenges physically but at least on the footballing front we were there to compete. So, that was fantastic to see,” RFYC coach Arata Izumi touched upon the level of competition that his team has come across until now.
“That’s what I try to teach, coach and show when I am in front of them. If they are happy, it means everything is going on well. It doesn’t mean that we don’t push them. Of course, we push them but with good environment the things can go smoothly and easily. People in a good environment perform better. So, that’s what we try to do. Of course, we have ups and downs in this but if you see today everybody was enjoying in the last session. Everyone was happy. Tomorrow, again, we have a challenge and we are ready for it,” ATK Mohun Bagan coach Josep Maria Roma Gibert said in the aftermath of his team’s training session today.
