Kolkata: The biggest attraction of Mohun Bagan training this season has certainly been Chesterpaul Lyngdoh. The midfielder who has joined from Churchill Brothers has certainly been one of the biggest performers of the last season in the I-League. Even today in a practice game he entertained the entire crowd who came to cheer for their favourite players during the training session. Mohun Bagan's trial for scouting new talents though continue as the club is now taking trials of as many as 16 footballers for the forthcoming season. Today, as a part of the trial, the players played a practice match within themselves, where the final score remained 3-1. Chestarpaul Lyndoh played brilliant football, scored two goals and assisted one for Kromah. Tomorrow Bagan will play a pre-season friendly against Coal India. Meanwhile, East Bengal seems like enjoying their training session under the new coaching staff. Midfielder Md Rafique was saying, "We are not bothered of the ISL. In Indian football, it's a pride to represent East Bengal and Mohun Bagan." The East Bengal midfielder also said, "Khalid bhai is trying to rectify our subtle mistakes and we are helping our juniors with the experience we have. The training of Garcia too has been a great benefit. Today, legendary Indian footballer IM Vijayan's son-in-law Abdul Adil came for trial at East Bengal.
