ISL 2018-19: 5 Reasons Why ATK Can Win the Title

#1 Mindset of vengeance

ATK players will be looking to get their team back to the top

The retained ATK players will be playing with a mindset of Vengeance. The mark of a true champion team is to do well consistently but ATK failed to do that as they finished at a forgettable 9th spot in the previous edition of the ISL after being crowned the champions the season before that (2016).

The players and backroom staff would not have forgotten the 10 losses out of the 18 and it would always be on the back of their minds to come back strongly. To finish almost at the bottom of the table after a 2016 season wherein they lifted the trophy is something which would have shaken up the players. ATK are expected to give it more than their 100 per cent as they have to prove themselves as a team worthy of lifting the trophy.

If we were to take into the consideration the aforementioned factors, then ATK are certainly one of the most formidable units and have all the firepower to enable them to lift the trophy a record 3rd time.
