The exit of Ashley Westwood at the end of last season also saw the exit of Curtis Osano, Josh Walker, Kim Song Yong, and Michael Collins – who was the replacement for the injured Josh Walker during the season.
The new manager Albert Roca has brought in three new foreign players and has kept hold of John Johnson – who formed a formidable partnership at the back with Osano – to complete the quota of four foreigners.
In came experienced Spanish midfielder Alvaro Rubio, previously of Valladolid and Albacete, Juan Antonio, a big and powerful centre-back who came through the ranks at Real Madrid Castilla, and Australian midfielder Cameron Watson, who has loads of experience in Asia.
All three played their part in the three AFC Cup games, with the cool and composed Rubio standing out and showing his class by dictating play from midfield. The three players, along with Johnson, Chhetri, and Eugenson will have an important part to play if Bengaluru are to progress to the final.
