Eyeing their maiden win against Bengaluru FC, ATK are banking on their defender John Johnson's input on the last year's runners-up, coach Steve Coppell said Tuesday.
Johnson was a regular in Bengaluru FC since the club's inception in 2013.
The English defender will be now be donning ATK colours. The home side, which have not even scored a goal against the Blues, are aiming to notch up their first win.
"He has given us insights into what Bengaluru FC do game by game, their match preparation and the things they try to do," Coppell said on the eve of their match against BFC at the Saltlake Stadium.
"They do not have a great deal of change in personnel, the style of play is very much same. Hopefully we will try to counter them. He's (Johnson) been very important last couple of days."
