    Going thru FC Nasaf & other AFC Cup team squads.

    Nasaf boasts lot of good young players. But they are beatable. Their foreign players are not impressive and one of them played in ISL for Delhi in 2018. 1 good game from ATK MB & we will mostly secure 2023 AFC Champions League slot. 

    Kuwait SC has several top players. But most of them are 30+. How-ever, I feel they are the favorites to win AFC Cup 2021.

    ATK MB will be making a History if they are able to achieve this

    ATK MB needs to take inspiration from FC Istiklol & Kitchee SC. They played away games and won against Home teams

    Anybody know what's the offensive statement that parekh said about MB?! 

    Mohan bagan official accounts are storming with statements from srinjoy and debashish dutta asking for atk to respond. Atk also apologized. But what happened here ?! 🙄

    @giridharan:

    ATK Mohun Bagan on Thursday apologised for a comment made by Utsav Parekh, a member of its board of directors.

    In an interview to an online media channel, Parekh said Mohun Bagan could never have dreamt of playing in the AFC Cup inter-zonal semi-finals without the support of ATK.

    “ATK are enhancing Mohun Bagan’s name. They never played in the AFC Cup on their own because they did not have the chance to do so,” Parekh said, speaking in Bengali.

    ATK Mohun Bagan are in the AFC Cup using Bagan’s quota as I-League champions of 2019-20. Bagan have played in the AFC Cup four times.

    Parekh’s comment drew ire from the club’s fans who are already demanding the removal of ATK as prefix.

    As a damage-control measure, ATK Mohun Bagan tweeted: “We apologise for a comment made by one of our directors with respect to ATK

    Mohun Bagan’s participation in the AFC Cup. We have utmost respect for the rich legacy and heritage of Mohun Bagan and will continue to uphold the same.”

    That, however, came after Mohun Bagan Athletic Club sought an explanation from ATK Mohun Bagan Pvt. Ltd.

    AFC Champions League Round 16 Results:
    West Region
    Istiklol (Tajikistan)     0–1            Persepolis (Iran)
    Sharjah (UAE)          1–1(4–5 p) Al-Wahda(UAE)
    Esteghlal(Iran)          0–2            Al-Hilal(Saudi Arabia)
    Al-Nassr(Saudi Arabia) 1–0       Tractor(Iran)

    East Region
    Ulsan Hyundai(S.Korea)        0–0 (3–2 p)  Kawasaki Frontale(Japan)
    Nagoya Grampus(Japan)      4–2               Daegu FC(S.Korea)
    Jeonbuk Hyundai(S.Korea)   1–1 (4–2 p)  BG Pathum United(Thailand)
    Cerezo Osaka(Japan)              0–1              Pohang Steelers(S.Korea)

    Despite the score-line, only Jeonbuk Hyundai vs BG Pathum United game is one-sided one. Rest all 7 games are close matches. Istiklol had a good game against Persepolis, lost by conceding goal in 90th min.

    Jakub Swierczok (Poland striker) playing his first game in AFC Champions league scored a hat-trick for Nagoya Grampus. Though he is Poland international (played 6 games & scored in June friendly against Russia), his club profile is not good. He played in Poland top 2 tiers, Bulgaria top tier & Germany 4th division. Just played 6 games in Bundesliga(Germany 1st tier), that too in 2011-12 season.
