The upset win over leaders Chennai city has further embellished their dream run on I league debut but Real Kashmir coach David Robertson says the two clashes against Kolkata giants will determine where they stand.
Real Kashmir are gearing up for their biggest challenge so far with tomorrow's clash against iconic East Bengal. They take on Mohun Bagan on January 6.
Robertson said if they could win against them it will be a "shock".
"The pressure is on them to get results. If we don't get result, who cares. But if we managed to get something, then it's a big shock," said Robertson.
"We did well against Chennai. It might be a one-off game but who knows. East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are the biggest clubs in India."
"It's been a good story for the club. To be where we are at the moment is really fantastic. There's a lot of enthusiasm in the team. We are enjoying every bit of it."
The decision has received widespread criticism and the Scottish coach of Kashmir said, "The football fans in India will be deprived of games. I am here for two years now and I think that is a special and an exciting league."
"They have the biggest budgets. I've been with big clubs in Scotland too, and playing with big clubs brings a lot of pressure."
