We have been unlucky but at the end of the day, it\u2019s just an excuse. There\u2019s no room for errors,\u201d adds Subrata.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to garner three full points at any cost. After a bad start, we have won two consecutive matches. A win here will further further propel us ahead,\u201d adds Mridul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy I\u2019m scoring goals for my team. That\u2019s what is expected of me. But I\u2019m happier with the ground condition at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. It\u2019s too good,\u201d Bagan\u2019s star striker Odafa Okolie, fresh from a hat-trick in his last outing, informs. Mridul, standing near, overheard, and couldn\u2019t be more pleased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not a one-man team,\u201d Mridul stressed. \u201cMohun Bagan is a team of 11 players. It\u2019s not about Odafa alone. Odafa is a great striker and he is doing his job just as the other 10 members on the field are doing theirs,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOdafa has been ruling Indian football for almost a decade,\u201d opines ONGC Coach Subrata. \u201cYou give him freedom on the field and he will kill you. We will have to keep an eye on him. I don\u2019t believe in man marking. I may rater opt for a zonal marking for him,\u201d he opines.<\/p>\n<p>If you stop Odafa, can you stop Bagan? This time, Subrata pauses. \u201cBagan are a Great team. Look at their history. Their name is enough to ring a bell,\u201d he evades the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m relieved to get back midfielder Eric Brown. Stopper Robin Gurung has also recovered and will start,\u201d Subrata smiles. \u201cBoth of them played a pivotal role against Prayag United. They stay our key players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi morning chill is bound to pinch you. Courtesy the change in weather, you\u2019ll find every alternate person beside you either coughing or sneezing. \u201cPut on your jackets fast,\u201d Banerjee instructs his wards after the morning practice at the Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a lucky ground for me; not only me but for the Senior Players (read National Team Players),\u201d Syed Rahim Nabi joins the conversation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know the atmosphere and the ground, as Odafa pointed out, is in excellent condition,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a team like Bagan which has a huge fan following, people become a bit restless when we don\u2019t do well. But after a bad start, we are back on the track. We will play to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have much knowledge about ONGC. All I know is that they held Prayag United to a draw, a match which they could have won. The will be a tough team,\u201d Mridul stays cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Bagan are on 6 points from 4 matches while ONGC are on 1 point from 4 matches. The kick-off at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is at 2pm on Friday (November 9).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; New Delhi: \u201cWe need to gain the momentum,\u201d comments ONGC Coach Subrata Bhattacharya. \u201cWe cannot let slip the momentum,\u201d comments Mohun Bagan\u2019s present Coach Mridul Banerjee. \u201cWe need to add to our account at any cost.
