ATK's title win built on fighting spirit & collective effort - Habas

The Hindu  

ATK boss Antonio Habas hailed the collective effort of his team after it beat Chennaiyin FC 3-1 to lift its third Indian Super League title. He said, "Today, we didn't play well in the second half because we were too afraid to win, which is normal after the loss of our leader. It's very difficult because the tension and motivation is different.” Habas also played down talks of him being named the coach of ATK-Mohun Bagan from next season. Having overseen the first title win for the club in the inaugural season of the competition, the Spaniard rated the 2019-20 triumph as the most challenging one.
