File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: Sanjoy Sen's Mohun Bagan will be up against Derreck Perrera's Churchill Brothers to maintain their dream run in the Hero I-League tomorrow. The Green and Maroon Brigade is still unbeaten in the competition and will be trying to get full three points again the Goan side tomorrow at the Tilak Maidan, Vasco. Coach Sanjoy Sen told www.xtratime.in , "Anyhow, we need to win tomorrow. Churchill Brothers is a much stronger outfit now. We have to play really good football to beat them. They have changed their style of football and we need to be circumspect." After securing their second win to move out of the bottom of points table, Churchill Brothers would look to register yet another victory tomorrow. Churchill, who had struggled in the first phase to remain at the bottom of the table, looked a transformed side after Derrick Pereira took over the reigns in the second phase. After losing to Minerva Punjab FC 4-5, they came back strongly to score their second win at home against DSK Shivajians which took them to eighth place after lying at the bottom. There has been good coordination between the midfield and the strikers which saw Churchill score seven goals in the last two matches. The defence too looked good in the last match as they kept their slate clean. The Bagan gaffer is giving a lot of respect to the deadly combination of Anthony Wolfe and Brandon Fernandes, as he said, "We have to be cautious about Wolfe and Brandon. The are posing real threat for the teams. I have told my defenders to be right on their toes while playing against them." It will be a tough job for Churchill to deal with the likes of Sony Norde, Balwant Singh, Darryl Duffy and Jeje Lalpekhlua who scored a double against Valencia of Maldives to clinch a berth in the AFC Cup group stage. Though Sanjoy said, "The AFC Cup game is past. We have a fresh challenge tomorrow." Striker Anthony Wolfe and Kromah, who scored a goal each in the last match, will once again has to come up with their best to guide thenteam a win. Churchill coach Derrick Perrera was happy with the way his boys have responded in the last two matches. "The boys has given good account in the last match against DSK Shivajians which we won convincingly after going down fighting against Minerva Punjab. Hope the boys continue to keep on the good work and beat Mohun Bagan," stated Derreck. Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen knows that his side cannot afford to lose matches at this stage. "It is going to be a tough match against the Goan side who are upbeat after beating DSK Shivajians. We need to remain more focused and not complacent after remaining unbeaten in this tournament," stated the Bagan coach.
