KOLKATA: Having outplayed ISL giants ATK Mohun Bagan, reigning I-League champions Gokulam Kerala FC proved that there is "no difference between the two tournaments" and the AIFF should now consider their players for the national team, the Malabarians coach Vincento Alberto Annesse said on Wednesday.
Fresh from becoming the first team to defend the I-League title, GKFC made a spectacular AFC Cup debut with a 4-2 thrashing of ATK Mohun Bagan to take the honours in a battle between the two heavyweights of the top-tier ISL and the second-tier I-League.
