Mohun Bagan look to continue winning streak against Indian Arrows in I-League clash

In-form Mohun Bagan would look to continue their winning streak when they host All India Football Federation's developmental side Indian Arrows in an I-League match here on Thursday.

With three wins on the trot, Mohun Bagan have turned their fortunes around after a subdued start to the season. The Kolkata giants began with a draw at Aizawl before a 2-4 loss at home to Churchill Brothers.

Mohun Bagan have been reinvigorated by the presence of Fran Gonzales at the heart of their midfield, as the Spaniard leads the I-League goal scoring charts. His movement, both on and off the ball, has allowed compatriot Joseba Beitia to have more space going forward, to exhibit his flair, as was evident in the 2-0 win against Real Kashmir.

Speaking ahead of the match, Mohun Bagan head coach Kibu Vicuna said, "Fran is an important player for us. His role in the team is very essential. However, the most important player in the team is the team itself. Every player is important in my squad."
Talking about Indian Arrows, he said, "Arrows are a very competitive team. A young squad with hunger and talented players. If we want to get the three points, we will need to show more desire and fight."
"They have now started to grasp what it takes to play at the senior level, and the results have started to follow. They now have the belief that they can do it against the senior players as well. That is what has changed."
