The gaffer upset with the availability of the foreigners
Kolkata: East Bengal coach Trevor James Morgan today lost his cool during practice session in the morning and stopped his practice and penalized video Journalists who can from now take only 15 minutes practice visuals of club players. The incident occurred when he was overlooking the practice session of the players in front of the general gallery at the club ground. A video journalist was shooting in between the legs of Morgan which offended the coach. He immediately called on the officials present at the ground and asked them to move from the field to the gallery. The video journalists were chased by Morgan again to the gallery as he asked them not to shoot any further. For over ten minutes players practice got disrupted. Later it was decided by club officials that from tomorrow video journalists will be able to take visuals up to 15 minutes.
Later the gaffer was asked about who he thinks will give his side a run for money. Morgan replied, “All teams will be competitive in the league, see Churchill brothers they are preparing a good team too.”
But Morgan lost his cool on being asked about his remaining foreigners.
“”Heard there is a visa problem for the players and am helpless about it, I can’t fix it as I don’t work in a visa office.”
East Bengal has recruited three foreigners this season but only one of them Wedson who is a withdrawal forward was seen practicing on the ground. Regarding the other two recruits Uganda’s Bukeneya and Trinidad and Tobago’s Willis Plaza the coach had no clue with only 9 days to go to their first match with Aizwal FC on 7th January. Morgan seemed to be not to happy with the unavailability of the players.
Today team captain Robert and Dicka joined East Bengal practice session.
