A bunch of mohun bagan supporters and members flocked before the club tent today to share their anger and grief with the club officials at 9am today. The fans did not have to spit on the players or officials or create panic – but were rather calm and quiet in a peaceful protest at the club premises.

It all happened a day before when a Bagan fan Subir Das asked for a peaceful gathering in the club premises to protest against the current situation and poor performance of the senior football team. His message went across to various Mohun Bagan Fan clubs.  The fans and supporters dropped off the banners of respective fan clubs and come under the biggest banner of ‘MOHUN BAGAN’.  The fans shared their sorrows and angers peacefully – and Rahim Nabi came out and talked to the fans.

The fans were there at the club premises till 11am and hoped that the situation will now improve in favour of mohun bagan and their peaceful movement will definitely be not wasted.

 

Following is from the column of Subir Das –

"Peaceful Protest at Mohunbagan Tent was an overwhelming, roaring success. A team of disciplined Mohunbagan-lovers got their messages across to the concerned parties, without uttering a single word. I personally feel immensely satisfied having taken a pro-active measure towards bringing back the good times !! However the best part is the united effort of all the fan clubs,forum like SMS, MOM, MBG long with some common man like me under 1 banner – MOHUN BAGAN. I wanted all the mariners to pronounce only one word ‘MOHUNBAGAN’.. Today, even if it was for 2 hours, we ceased to become NDA, UPA Govt. like " milijhuli sarkar and became a single party – MOHUN BAGAN. And after the success of this 1st protest and the media attention we received I hope that next time onwards there will be a more fan followers joining in this noble event. And finally I would like to say that Yes , we do have the power , if we are persistent in this cause , to bring a better future for our MOHUN BAGAN." (sic)

 

mohunbaganclub.com tries to bring in a report on Practice sessions of various clubs of the world. These sessions perhaps would feed in some necessary input to the coach Santosh Kashyap, the players and the support staff – as the team Mohun Bagan is getting for iLeague now. Today – we bring in some input on Jupp Heynckes’ team.

Following are must for Bayern Munich’s training sessions –

a) obstacle course
b) stamina building runs
c) series of sprints
 

These are followed by a round of shooting practice, with leading goalkeepers keeping goals. This is followed by a number of exercises replicating match situations.
 Usually the match situation is done on half of the ground with one-touch football.

This is followed by practices from dead-ball situations. Here each player will have to go for free kicks, corners or crosses. A player will have to try hard with at least 10 shots towards the goal. For free kicks – simulate figure human are also used.

This is followed by technical drills and that include –

a) use of flank play, including outside flank players – drive inside or improve on crossing

b) use of outside back

c) coaching when and where to dribble

d) central attacking play

e) play from the back

The players work on the above mentioned technical situations and the coaching staff rectify the mistakes.

These sessions perhaps would feed in some necessary input to the coach Santosh Kashyap, the players and the support staff – as the team Mohun Bagan is getting for iLeague now. Today – we bring in some input on Alex Ferguson’s team.

Sir Alex have been one of the most successful coaches in the world. He has 37 trophies in 25 years with Manchester United, and Sir Alex feel the team’s attacking football is one of the reasons for success. The players practice hard, perfect their roles in the team and reinforce habits.

In addition, Man U play a three-ball system that help them a lot. The day before a match, Man U opt for this three ball routine –  it’s designed to cultivate reactivity, passing quality, and quickness with the end result of producing that perfect final ball. Manchester United’s first team coach Rene Meulensteen developed the Three Ball Routine to increase team speed and mental awareness.

The defenders and attackers always readjust their positions to deal with the next ball arriving.

The shots are taken from  shot outside the box, followed by a cross that has to be defended – as as soon as the first cross (usually from a wing) has been dealt with – there is a third ball coming in (usually from another wing)

This focuses on the quality of passing, the quickness and the smoothness of the combination of the wings and variety and most important – the quality of the final ball.  The defenders need to check did they pick up the right player, do the players in front of the goal were challenged – was the near post covered well – were the far post covered well, is the edge of the box covered – this help the players to decide where they will play in the final ball.

Mohun Bagan can get benefit if they practice this during the sessions – particularly the day before a game – that will help them aware of their positions during the game and consider their speed , along with that of their team mates.
