David Williams (ATK Mohun Bagan): "It is disappointing. There is a lot of things to work on. It is all about character building. We know we are a good team. It was just a hiccup, it is part of the learning curve We have to be positive and have a long way to go this season."
Vikram Partap Singh (Hero of the Match): "I always believed that when I will start my first match I'll score and today I scored. Every player gave their 100%. Because of them I scored and won the game. We knew that we didn't perform up to the mark against Hyderabad FC. Today we played better. We are now only focusing on our performance."

Joni Kauko (ATKMB): Joni Kauko played his best match in the ATK Mohun Bagan shirt against SC East Bengal in the Kolkata Derby. He provided an assist with a pinpoint through ball to Manvir Singh to set up the second goal in the match. He will key in creating chances for the Mariners.
Igor Angulo (MCFC): Last season Golden Boot winner Igor Angulo has scored two goals in the ISL so far and will be the main attacking outlet for the Islanders against a well-drilled ATK Mohun Bagan side. If he gets service, is fed with decent assists, the clinical forward can hurt the Mariners.

MATCH PREVIEW: ISL 2021-22: Absorbing encounter on cards as ATKMB hosts holder Mumbai City FC
Last year’s runner-up ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) will be seeking to obliterate the hurtful memories of the previous season when it hosts the defending champion Mumbai City FC at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda on Wednesday.
The two teams had been the most consistent names who gunned for the title last season but it was Mumbai City FC which stole the march, denying ATKMB the chance to win both the league winner’s shield and eventually the title. The MCFC beat ATKMB on all the three occasions they met in the league stage and in the final.
PREVIOUS RESULTS OF BOTH TEAMS: SCEB vs ATKMB - match recap HFC vs MCFC - match recap |
ATK Mohun Bagan resolved to get over the repeated setbacks and roped in Mumbai City’s most creative possession, Hugo Boumous, in the new season. This has given the Mariners the desired leverage as it won both its first two outings with convincing ease.
The confidence of outplaying the traditional rival SC East Bengal in the previous round will help ATK Mohun Bagan, which has looked formidable in the 3-5-2 formation instilled by head coach Antonio Lopez Habas.
Mumbai City FC has looked a bit hesitant under Des Buckingham, who assumed charge ahead of the new season. The shock 1-3 loss against the supposed underdog Hyderabad FC in the previous outing will be weighing on the holder as it looks to get back the winning rhythm.
With lot of quality under his command, Buckingham will be hoping the Islanders will spring back to their dominant form.
