ISL – Boumous and Kauko are going to be important players for us in next season: Antonio Lopez Habas

 

ATK Mohun Bagan head coach Antonio Lopez Habas feels the two new foreign signings Hugo Boumous and Joni Kauko are going to play an instrumental role in the success of the team in the next season. Boumous joined Mariners last month after savouring success with Mumbai City FC in the previous season of the Hero ISL.

On the other hand, Joni Kauko joined the club after Finland’s exit from the Euro Cup 2020. Both of these players will definitely add value to the team as they will play along with star striker Roy Krishna.

“I think they are good players. Boumous is a very important player in the [Hero] ISL. Joni Kauko is also an important player for us because he has a good balance between defence and attack. These two foreign players are important for us for the next season,” he said on Wednesday.

ATK have secured services of new seven players – Boumous, Kauko, Liston Colaco, Amrinder Singh, Deepak Tangri, Ashutosh Mehta and Bidyananda Singh – and thus Habas will need to come up with different game plans for the new players.

“My feeling now is that we have to work every day and prepare the team for the competition. We have to build a new team because we have had a lot of changes in the squad. We are training every day for our best presentation in the matches,” he said.

Habas that it is crucial for the club to find the right balance from one season to the other and thus they have made these seven signings.

“My feeling now is that we have to work every day and prepare the team for the competition. We have to build a new team because we have had a lot of changes in the squad. We are training every day for our best presentation in the matches,” he said.

ISL 2021-22 season will begin from November 19 in Goa.
