Bhubaneswar: An I-League title contender at one stage before eventually finishing third, Real Kashmir FC would look to cause an upset win against Indian Super League side ATK when the two teams clash in a Super Cup round of 16 match here on Monday.
Real Kashmir had an impressive I-League debut season, causing quite a few upsets and given the quality at hand, they will be a tough customer for the Kolkata-based ATK side who have finished sixth in the IPL.
Reak Kashmir head coach David Robertson said ATK have experienced players but made it clear that his side can beat any opponent on their day.
“It is going to be a very difficult game. They have got highly experienced players. Their budget is multiple times than ours. This season only two teams have beaten (I-League champions) Chennai City. We beat them twice. On our day, we can beat anyone,” he said.
“I think for us it is a good test for our players and the team to see how far we have come,” said the Scottish coach.
“Tomorrow is another little bit of history for the club as well. First time in the Super Cup. So, it has been a fantastic couple of years.”
ATK head coach Steve Coppell had words of appreciation for Real Kashmir, given their meteoric rise over the past year. (PTI)
