Needing a draw to qualify for the top four, Atlético De Kolkata opted to give the on-ground training session a miss and decided to partake in some high-intensity gym sessions.
Bhaktawer: All our gym sessions are highly intense and very tactically detailed. It is as good as the lads training on the field. We are confident that giving the on-field training a miss will not matter that much. You also have to take into consideration, the amount of traveling that each team does. The players need to recover from the traveling as well as the closely scheduled games.
He also explained that the team was not too worried about the mathematics involved in the semi-final qualification scrap.
Bhaktawer: The league has been such an intense one. Every day the scenario changes. We would like to focus on the game rather than all the calculations.
