Antonio Habas’s men will head to the match after a good 10-day break and enjoy fresh legs over their opponents from Chennai, who worked hard in the 2-2 draw against SC East Bengal on Saturday. Furthermore, while Chennaiyin has recorded six different scorers, their forward Jakub Sylvestr and Lallianzuala Chhangte have been guilty of missing too many chances. Against ATKMB, who have yet to concede in open play this season, they will need to be at their best.
Chennaiyin FC head coach Csaba Laszlo recognized the need for his team to splurge less up front. “I would be very happy if our main forwards scored a lot more goals. In fact, we missed a lot of chances even in the last match. But I’m also happy how we have so many Indian scorers – (Rahim) Ali, (Lallianzuala) Chhangte and (Anirudh) Thapa I think this is important too, “Laszlo said.
Chennaiyin will have to be vigilant until the final whistle, as ATKMB has developed a knack for scoring late winners. They have already scored in the last fifteen minutes of the game four times. That trend may have to do with the way ATKMB coach Antonio López Habas exercises his team to react to situations as they evolve. “You can prepare your team for one thing and after that, the opponent can do something different,” he said. “The most important thing is that you have very clear ideas. Then you can adapt to your opponent.”
