Kolkata: Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen has warned his players not to be complacent ahead of his team’s first away matches against DSK Shivajians and Chennai City FC respectively. The Mariners, who reached Pune on Thursday evening, will train tomorrow at the Balewadi stadium.
“I have told my players to stay focused. Shivajians are a good side and they are improving after every outing. It will be a tough match for us,” said Bagan gaffer at the Netaji Subhash international airport on Thursday.
Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen has watched both the teams play in recent matches. He will analyse the match video of new entrants Chennai City FC with his players before the match in Chennai.
According to Sanjoy Sen, “The nine points that we earned will have no meaning if we cannot win our next two away matches. Last two years our away match record hasn’t been good at all. We have to also take it into account that all the other teams in the league are improving day by day. The foreigners are also joining the respective teams. Yesterday, I was watching the DSK and Chennai City FC match. Both teams look promising.”
The Mohun Bagan players were in a jovial mood at the airport. The footballers looked confident and were seen clicking group photo at the airport lounge. The team will be practicing tomorrow at the Balewadi stadium which is not very far from the hotel they are staying in Pune.
On the team front defender Kingshuk Chakraborty and midfielder Shehnaz Singh is yet to recover from the injury they suffered in the match against Shillong Lajong. Eduardo, who made his debut yesterday, trained with the reserve players today afternoon.
