I League champions  Mohun Bagan  coach Sanjay Sen  is wary about the overall fitness of his side . According to Sanjay , the fitness of the team needs a lot to be desired . He feels the team  is only 20% fit and have to work really hard in the coming days to reach full fitness . The Green and Maroon footballers have just started training under Sanjay Sen .  More importantly  Bagan coach  is not very happy with the fitness of  Trinidad & Tobago World Cupper Cornell Glenn . The burly striker who joined  Mohun Bagan 10 days back scored in a practice match today against a Calcutta University  XI . It was his goal that separated both the  sides . Glenn who looked a bit overweight , was very slow in his movement in the field . Physio Garcia will have a lot of hard work ahead getting the boys regain their full fitness . The Brazilian was instrumental in keeping the Bagan footballers supremely fit right throughout the season . Another worrying factor for Mohun Bagan coach will be the scheduling of matches. The defending I League champions will play a lot more matches compared to other clubs since they will be participating in  the AFC Champions League qualifiers along with I League and Federation Cup  . Mohun Bagan will play a total of  29 matches approx this season . According to Sanjay Sen “ We have to abide by the guidelines and schedule set by AIFF . Key for us to do well this season will be remain supremely fit as it is going to be a strenuous few months ahead for us .”
