Trevor Morgan meanwhile was humble and said that his side were not guaranteed anything and they would need to fight for every point. “Nothing is easy in football. Just because we are East Bengal, it doesn’t give us the right to win the game,” he remarked. The opposition gaffer came in for special praise as he had engineered a turnaround this season. “Aizawl has played very well. Khalid has done a great job, compared to where they were last season,” he commented.‘Pique should not be picked for Spain’ East Bengal lined up with a 4-2-3-1 in the first game of the season with Mohammed Rafique as the lone striker but Morgan’s current team has a vastly different look to it. “In the first game of the season, we played a system we don’t usually like to play but had to play because of the personnel. The team will be completely different tomorrow,” he asserted. Lalrindika Ralte who has been in fine form also came in for adulation from the Englishman, “Ralte is a good servant of the club. He has never let us down. He is a good man and a good player and I have all the time for him.“Welbeck plays for Arsenal U-23s Morgan hinted at making changes to the side while dismissing remarks about Robin Singh’s poor form saying he had five strikers (Robin Singh, Willis Plaza, Thongkhosiem Haokip, Mohammed Rafique, Chris Payne) for two available positions. “We have got five players for two positions so there is always pressure. The one who performs gets into the team,” he concluded. Kickoff is at 2.05 PM IST.
