As an East Bengal fan I keep my fingers firmly crossed at the prospect in forthcoming season, yet can’t conceal exuberance ever since Subrata Bhattacharjee took over as coach.
Subrata was Mohun Bagan’s coach when it won NFL title 2-1/2 times (the half is because MB was runner-up once). It is easy to say he’s a lucky coach but few would doubt that during his tenure in Bagan, its team was really an excellent performer.
Subrata not only understands football well, having played as a defender for many years, he also has a good grasp on ins and outs of all that goes on in Maidan, Kolkata’s football den.
East Bengal supporters are energized that Bablu da has taken charge of the team. Already, the team is undergoing training camp under his supervision in Kalyani. There is high hope that trophies that have eluded for last couple of years may at last come to the club this year.
