Okay, so we're just a few games into the inaugural ISL tournament, but Atletico de Kolkata is already making a statement. After a couple of early dominating victories, Kolkata was forced to a tie with Delhi. Leading their division thus far, Kolkata has already made a statement with their play that they will be contending for a title this season.

The midfield-strike pairing of Fikru and Luis Garcia has been an absolutely wonder to watch so far. Fikru has tons of moment, a style that works perfectly with Garcia's passing ability. He has both size & speed, allowing him to dominate with power or with his feet. His aggressive style of play has allowed the Kolkata offensive schemes to work to its full potential. Because teams have been focusing on Fikru, others have been able to hover around.

Atletico de Kolkata trained in Spain for about one month before coming to India. They had a chance to get to know each other for about a month before official games began. While only Garcia and Fikru have developed a chemistry thus far, it's expected the remainder of the roster will follow suit soon enough. The partnership of Garcia and Fikru is already strong enough to take the team on its shoulders.
