Baljit unfazed by World Cuppers

Baljit who opened scoring on Sunday with a rasping right footer to which Kerala Blasters goalie and former England World Cupper David James had no answer said: "My work is to score goals. I try hard to do that. It doesnt matter who is in the opposition or against whom am I scoring. They dont over awe me."

It is this rugged nonchalance that has held Atletico in high spirits. "We are a team that believes in itself. We play as a unit, back each other up and try to win every match. That is the reason we are still undefeated."

The East Bengal striker has played as a right back and right out in mid-field apart from his designated position as a striker and has excelled.

When asked to react, he said: "Coach asked me to play in these positions and I was comfortable doing that. I am ready to play in any position for my team. It has helped me grow as a player also."

On anything special that Manager Antonio Habas may have told the team as he was not present in the dugout due to suspension, Baljit said: "Nothing special. He shared a few tactical points and asked us to play as a unit and play with high spirits."
