Internet Desk: ATK goalkeeper Debjit Mazumder, who has been one of the best custodians this season, made a hash of a collection in their last game against FC Pune City leading to conceding the goal. The Mohun Bagan player lost and cool after that. Asked about the rare gaffe, he said, “I admit I conceded a silly goal in the last match. But that is football and it’s part of the game.”
Debjit said ATK’s porous rearguard at times is not a worry for him and that all the players are leaving no stone unturned to make it count in the first leg semi where “it’s time to get serious.”
“We believe in the whole squad. There is nothing to worry in defence. In football you will concede goals. Now it’s a different ball game. They (Mumbai) beat us here and we respect that. Now it’s time to get serious.”
A Diego Forlan goal in the second half proved to be the difference in Mumbai and ATK’s league game here. Asked if there is any special design to halt the star marquee who has hit a hattrick recently, Debjit said, “We have seen his videos. He is a big player and we have to be alert.”
