Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: East Bengal has been suffering from injury problems all season. East Bengal footballers have fought through it too. Coach Oscar Brujo kept the team ahead mentally. He instilled a never-give-up mentality in the footballers. England became the one-day World Cup champions for the first time in 2019.
The English are still being asked by ticks, by how much margin they won the final? The English cannot say. Because England won in that match, which was tied twice (including the Super Over), by hitting more fours! After 22 years, East Bengal has become the best in India, and a section of Mohun Bagan fans are also asking, 'By how many points did you win?' The East Bengals do not have an answer to this question.
Because in this year's ISL, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan have the same points. Both teams have 26 points in 13 matches. The red-yellow team emerged champions by leading on goal difference (5). East Bengal's goal difference is 19. And Mohun Bagan's is 14. Out of these, East Bengal defeated Mohammedan 7-0. This is the biggest win by any team in this year's ISL. No other match has scored 7 goals. After the Mohun Bagan match ended at Yuva Bharati on Thursday, a few green-maroon fans were seen discussing whether the Mohammedan match was 'managed', right?
A section of the Runners Mohun Bagan fans are criticizing the red-yellow team. Their suspicions are about the matches of the other two leaders of Kolkata. It's not that East Bengal hasn't won the trophy in the last 22 years. But they haven't been able to become the I-League or ISL champions. You can't be the best in the country without winning the trophy. The red-yellow brigade has been playing in the ISL since the 2020-21 season. It finished in ninth place in its first year. In the 2021-22 season, it finished in eleventh place at the bottom. From 2022-23 to 2024-25, it finished in ninth place for three consecutive seasons. This time, it is the champion in one leap! That too, the taunt of the neighboring club's fans. Mohun Bagan also won by a large margin
Mohammedan's performance in the ISL is the worst. It could not win a single one of its 13 matches. The black-and-white brigade drew three matches. The century-old club has been relegated after finishing 14th. Mohammedan will not be seen in the ISL next season. Mohammedan has conceded 32 goals in 13 matches. 2.46 goals per match have been scored against them. However, it has conceded 7 goals to East Bengal. Mohun Bagan did not win by a bad margin either. The green-maroon brigade won against Mohammedan by 5-1 goals. If we take the Mohammedan match alone, East Bengal has a 3-goal advantage over Mohun Bagan. In the entire competition, it is 5 goals. Even if East Bengal had won 5-1 against Mohammedan, like Mohun Bagan, they would have been ahead on goal difference. Still, they are having to suffer a blow! has given East Bengal a dividend in the goal difference league, is the black and white brigade really a team that concedes 7 goals, the question arises
