Image Source: XtraTime[/caption] Kolkata: Mohun Bagan’s Haitian forward Sony Norde on Tuesday said that their arch-rivals East Bengal are in a much better position than the Green and Maroon Brigade before facing Mumbai FC in a vital I-League encounter, which is kind of a must win game for them. "East Bengal have the advantage. They are playing well. If we win these two games we can be on 27 points also. The league is not decided yet but they are in good position," Norde told reporters in Kolkata. Sanjoy Sen’s team are placed in third in the points table after facing their first loss in this year’s I-League campaign against Churchill Brothers by 1-2 on March 4. Norde warned his team-mates that if they want to win the I-League again, they must not lose anymore points. "We spoke about the importance of home games. We can't lose anymore points. The players have to take this very seriously. If we want to win this league, we cannot lose any more matches," Norde said. On being asked about Mumbai FC, who are rock bottom in the table and haven't won since January 15 against Churchill Brothers, Norde told they are a good side and the green and maroons have to put them under pressure. "They are a very good team. We have to put them under pressure and show that we are here to win. We have to press them. "It is not easy for us after losing 2-1. It will be difficult but we have a good squad."
