anelka is a huge boost for them. by the way ofense nato, fikru terrara are present internationals. also atk has enough players, so sony would have been benched ( as a late comer and better players are there), that's why he rejected. don't know why no one is focusing that point. only point is to prove isl inferior. that is not gonna help i league. sony isn't a big deal. many better players are there in the league. so sony isn't a factor at all. go sony wherever you want.
Ignacio Aguillo, executive board director with Atletico Madrid -
“We are in India primarily for ATK and the ISL… But our goal is to be a part of the overall development of Indian football, keeping in mind the 2017 U-17 World Cup, which will be held in this country. Our success has to be the national success for India. We are in talks with the AIFF and other parties to begin our grassroots programme as soon as the ISL ends. We can’t waste time”
“The Spanish newspapers and journalists have a lot of interest about the ISL and ATK.On our part, we are trying our best to promote and support ATK. Atletico Madrid captain (Gabi Fernandes) and the team sent good luck messages for ATK… So yes, we are very excited and hopeful about the project”
“We wish to bring some of the first team players of Atletico Madrid to Calcutta during this ISL season… If possible, manager Diego Simeone as well. Not just that, we also hope to arrange for pre-season tours for ATK. We have taken a leap of faith and we will be going full throttle.”
