3 Reasons that ensured Mohun Bagan’s CFL title success

#2 Young players

Among this bunch of young Turks, Pintu made a name for himself by scoring in the Kolkata Derby

Mohun Bagan may be the only team in this year’s CFL who had the youngest squad. Players like Pintu Mahato, Arijit Bagui, Abhishek Amnbekar, Shilton D’Silva, Tirthankar Sarkar helped to instill young blood in the team.

All the credit goes to Sankarlal. He knew that he will not get star players for the CFL campaign. So he began recruiting talented young players on his team. The Mohun Bagan Academy in Durgapur also helped in this case.

The players repaid his faith. Among this bunch of young Turks, Pintu made a name for himself by scoring in the Kolkata Derby.

The boy from Jangalmahal in West Midnapore district of West Bengal instantly became toast in the eyes of Mohun Bagan supporters.

Arijit is another useful talent. In Kolkata Derby, both of Mohun Bagan’s goal came from Arijit’s pass.

He possesses a clear vision and is very useful as a wing back. Abhishek, Shilton also played their role in consolidating the midfield.
