#1 Hit: Sony Norde
Norde’s arrival news was a ‘bolt-out-of-the-blue’ moment for Mohun Bagan fans. When Mohun Bagan signed Omar Elhusseiny as their fifth foreigner, everyone thought the hopes of watching Norde this season is over, as Sankarlal wants someone in defence.
But Mohun Bagan officials didn’t disappoint and brought back Norde this season. The Haitian proved why the decision was right. Since his arrival in the city, Norde kept himself busy in hard work and training. He knew he is not fit and he doesn’t have much time to recuperate. He kept working under physical trainer for two weeks alone.
Finally, before the second match, Norde was declared fit. Sankarlal definitely introduced Norde to get a goal as Mohun Bagan was struggling at that moment. Norde took just five minutes to separate the scores. Apart from the goal, he even provided passes to Kisekka and Dicka. Luck was not in his favour though, as his club couldn’t get full points but deservingly, he was adjudged as the hero of the match.
