Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: The East Bengal vs. Mahamedan Sporting match of the first phase of the 1985 Kolkata League.....which can be considered as a match of Krishanu in one word......
That year, the East Bengal team was great.. The red and yellow people are starting to dream with the addition of Krishanu Vikas.... On the other hand, Mahamedan has become strong enough with the addition of Chima... Chima is also very interested in establishing himself on the field... Not to mention another person, he is the king of the eighties Majid Bhaskar who has been rejected this year even though he played for East Bengal for free... The half-fit Majid is also determined to present himself....
The footballers were surprised to hear PK Banerjee's team list in the East Bengal dressing room... Krishanu De was not in the first eleven..... Krishanu could not hold back his pain... Tears rolled down his eyes.... He wanted to dress No....the other footballers convinced Krishanu to get dressed after a lot of persuasion.....the team took to the field and Krishanu sat on the reserve bench.....there was a whisper in the red and yellow gallery that Krishanu is not in the team so is Krishanu injured??
As soon as the game started, Mahamedan attacked East Bengal.... At the beginning, a center came from the right side. Majid Baskar was there just before the East Bengal box.... Just as Majid used to set up Jamshid for the goal, before he touched the ball with his head, he caught a glimpse of Cheema Okeri coming towards the East Bengal box at a great speed... Majid headed the ball down to Cheema like the day before.... Immediately after, Cheema's right foot and the ball connected perfectly, the ball beat East Bengal goalkeeper Bhaskar Ganguly and went into the net.... Mahamedan went ahead 1-0..... Mahamedan maintained the pressure even then..... East Bengal got a penalty when Sanjeev Bhattacharya of Mahamedan made a handball inside the box towards the end of the first half, but Jamshid's penalty shot went wide. Atanu Bhattacharya blocked it.... Then the half-time whistle blew... The players returned to the dressing room....
East Bengal entered the field in the second half, trailing by 1-0..... After a long time of play, suddenly the red and yellow gallery was filled with cheers, Krishanu Krishanu Krishanu..... Krishanu Dey was seen starting his warm-up.... Finally, Krishanu Dey entered the field... The red and yellow crowd welcomed Krishanu with applause...
In a short while, Krishanu caught the ball and, in his easy-going manner, dodged two or three people and extended a measured through towards the goal, aiming for Debashish Roy... But Debashish Roy disappointed the jubilant East Bengal fans and missed the goal..... Two minutes later, the ball was again at Krishanu's feet.... While running down the left wing, he saw the position of Vikash Panji... At that moment, Vikash Panji also understood The same hearted friend was going to put the ball in the right place... Using his understanding, Vikas Panji reached just above the Mahamedan box and got Krishanu's minus.... Vikas Panji's right foot roared... Mahamedan goalkeeper Atanu Bhattacharya did not let him move and the ball went into the net. The result of the game was 1-1..... As soon as the joy of Vikas Panji's goal faded, another goal was scored... Krishanu's great shot bounced off the chest of Mahamedan goalkeeper Atanu Bhattacharya and Debashish Roy, who was looking for a goal, immediately pushed the ball into the goal. East Bengal went ahead 2-1..... The dominance of the red and yellow players was all over the field... The irresistible Krishanu De.... He did whatever he pleased with the ball..... He ruined Mahamedan in a spell of 15 minutes..... In the game Realizing that it was impossible to return, the Mahamedan players started to get excited with a purpose... East Bengal players retaliated, which resulted in tension on the field, the heat of which reached the gallery... the gallery became heated... various things flew from the gallery... this is exactly what Mahamedan wanted... they refused to play in this situation... then the game was in the final stages, maybe three/four minutes left....... After waiting for a long time, the referee blew the final whistle.......
