Kolkata giant Mohun Bagan will take on another power house from Kolkata,
Paryag United tomorrow on an I-League second round encounter at Salt Lake
stadium, Kolkata.
Since last few years we have been noticing the face that Prayag United
established themselves as the third giant of Kolkata just after Mohun Bagan
& East Bengal, pushing Mohammedan Sporting aside, especially in this year
they have made a star studded side so according to the merit of both the sides
it has to be told that Kolkata is going to eyewitness the first derby of the
season tomorrow.
According to the performance Prayag United is in the superior position
currently, they have thrashed Air India in their first round by a formidable
5-1 margin while the mariners have lost their away match against the minnows
Lajong FC by 0-2 margin.
Prayag is in a very good condition, their team is enough balanced under
the supervision of Sanjay Sen, good management lead by Nabab Bhattaerjee, they
have good players in every department, feel good environment is going on
everywhere in their dressing room.
In the other hand the condition of Mohun Bagan is going to be worse day
by day, firstly they had suffer a lot regarding to the inclusion of Tolgay
Ozbey from the arch-rival East Bengal secondly they have recruited a third
category coach Santosh Kashyap instead of
Subrata Bhaatarjee, who is still not getting the weight of a heavy
weight side Mohun Bagan, thirdly they knocked out from the first round of
Federation Cup, fourthly an ego class going on between two superior strikers in
the upfront, fifthly they did not recruit any good midfielder & defender
this season, apart from those there are lots of issues also, at the end of the
day the main & significant issue is the poor team maintenance by officials,
regarding all those issues supporters are showing their agitations everyday
outside the club, which makes the circumstance more ridiculous in the club.
Undoubtedly this match is going
to be an acid test for current Mohun Bagan coach Santosh Kashyap & the
officials lead by Anjan Mitra & Debasish Dutta, since last one year the
Mariners couldn’t beat the Pink powerhouse anywhere so every Mohun Bagan
supporters are eagerly eyeing towards this match. A win for Mohun Bagan can
give lifeline to the entire unit of officials alongwith the coach or else the
entire unit have to prepare for the worst ahead.
In this match Prayag United will also miss their key player Bello Razzak
in their defence, but they have experienced duo in their defenceline in the
limelight of Deepak Mondal & Gourmangi Singh moreover they have a vast
experienced goalie Subrata Paul under their goal, undoubtedly who is the best
in India currently whether Mohun Bagan also have a combination of two superstar
forwards Odafa Okolie & Tolgay Ozbey, so its going to be the battle between
Prayag defence & Mohun Bagan forwardline, its also going to be battle
between few individuals like Ranti vs Odafa, Carlos Hernandez vs Tolgay.
In the other hand Prayag United have the current best striker of the
country Ranti Martins in who scored a hat-trick in their opening campaign
against Air India & since last two I-League who became the top scorer of
the country. He has shown his ability in penetrative zone in last match it’s
time to see how the weak defenceline of the Green & Maroon brigade defend
sensational Ranti Martins throughout the match.
