Kolkata: The East Bengal fans have been criticizing their star Trinidad & Tobago international Willis Deon Plaza after he missed a lot of chances of scoring goals in this season’s I-League, but Plaza himself didn’t look much concerned ahead of their crucial encounter against Churchill Brothers.” You need luck to score goals in matches, but I don’t blame my luck. For me the team’s win is more important than my personal achievements. We had beaten Shillong lajong by five goals in our last outing and it has given me a lot of confidence before facing Churchill at Barasat tomorrow,” said Plaza on the eve of the match today.
“It is painful for me that I haven’t scored a goal till now for my side, but I have nothing to do with it. Many people have criticized me for not getting a goal in derby but I don’t bother what the others are saying and I am only focusing on Churchill game.
On the other hand though Churchill has lost their last three encounters of the I-League but East Bengal coach is not taking their opponents lightly.” All the teams are good in this League. We have to give our best against them to get full three points and I don’t have any complaint regarding the astro-turf of Barasat.
Meanwhile the Red & Gold Brigade mostly gave close look at the dead ball situation practice. As per the team, Md. Rafique may replace Cavin Lobo in the playing XI against the Goan side. On the other hand East Bengal’s midfield maestro Mahmoud Al Amna just want three points from this game at any cost.
