“On behalf of the management, I welcome the boys from a thrilling and tough pre-season in Spain. We believe that this year our team is comprised of dynamic Indian and foreign recruits who are all set to exhibit their skills with just a week left for the season to begin. The pre-season has definitely enabled our players to know each other better and work on their strengths under the vision of our new coach José Molina who will back the boys with his myriad experience of the game. We also have a new home ground where work is going on full swing. We look forward to an exciting season ahead,” Sanjiv Goenka, Chairman RP- Sanjiv Goenka Group, Co-owner, Atlético de Kolkata.<\/p>\n
“It feels great to be playing for Atlético de Kolkata for the consecutive year. My stay last year was short lived but I have earned memories which endeared me to come back to Indian football and especially the ATK family. The passionate fans of Kolkata will definitely push my zeal for performing in this edition as fitness wise I am in much better shape and had a good season with Rio Ave F.C at Primeira Liga. I hope I will be able to support the team throughout this season. We had an energetic pre-season in Spain which will back our game this time. I am sure my fellow players are as eager as I am,” Hélder Postiga, Marquee Player, Atlético de Kolkata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
