New Delhi, Nov. 10 :    New Delhi, Nov. 10:  Mohun Bagan have always been synonymous with historic feats. They were the first Indian club to win the IFA Shield during the British Raj, way back in 1911. The first National League of the new millennium was annexed by them. In the 20th century the Calcutta outfit annexed the Durand Cup, India's oldest tournament, fifteen times, the maximum ever. Tomorrow if they overcome Mahindra United in the Allwyn Durand Cup final, they will make another bit of history. They will have won the first Durand Cup in the new millennium. Overall it would be their 16th triumph in 25 entries into the final. Bagan last won the title in 1994, when they beat East Bengal 1-0, with Jo Paul Ancheri scoring. This is the first time that Bagan are playing a team from Mumbai, in the final. Both these teams clashed in the group 1 quarter final last week which ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Bagan has scored seven goals and conceded two goals so far. Mahindras, on the other hand, have scored nine goals and conceded three goals. If Mohun Bagan annex the trophy, coach Subrata Bhattacharya will join the list of immortals who have won India's oldest tournament both as player and coach. Subrata won the tournament seven times as a player, in 1974, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1985 and 1986 respectively. Bagan won the Durand also in 1984 but Subrata was away playing for India in the Asia Cup. Others who have annexed the prestigious cup both as a coach and player are Arun Ghosh, Syed Nayeemuddin, Sukhwinder Singh and Shabbir Ali. However amongst this illustrious quartet none has won the Durand tournament as often as Subrata. Since taking over as Bagan's coach a year ago, Subrata has won four titles so far, the 1999 IFA Shield, the 1999-2000 National Football League, the recent Airlines Trophy and Governor's Gold Cup in Sikkim. A win in the Durand will be Subrata's fifth title in one year, a creditable record. Mahindra United's coach, Shabbir Ali is also on the threshold of history. If the Mumbai champions can lift the trophy, which will be their second, Shabbir will become the first coach ever to win back-to-back Durand titles with different clubs. In 1999, Shabbir coached Salgaocar (Goa) to their first-ever Durand title. The outcome of the final will hinge on two factors. Mahindra miss two key defenders, international Tapan Ghosh and veteran left back Bernard Operanozie. It is to be seen how their back four copes with the speed and variety of Bagan's attack, masterminded by the brilliant Brazilians, Joao Dos Santos and Jose Ramirez Barreto. The Mumbai league champions have conceded goals in the closing stages of the second half, against both East Bengal in the semi-finals and against Bagan in their league match. It is to be seen how the over 30 years old Christopher, who won the Durand with Bagan in 1994, and Ramesh Rajak and Naushad Moosa in their late twenties cope with Bagan's variety of attack. It is also likely to be seen if Mahindra are restricted from scoring an early goal. In all the four matches they have played so far, they struck early, then absorbed pressure and used quick counter-attacks. Aqueel Ansari is their main playmaker and S. Venkatesh the midfield dynamo. Their attacking duo Manjit Singh, top scorer so far with five goals, and Abbas Ali Rizvi, are in good nick. Subrata said Bagan will not resort to man marking. He hopes that the creative flair and speed of his midfield trio Amouri, Basudeb Mondal and R.P. Singh will enable them dominate the match. Bagan will make one change from the team of the previous match. Amitava Chanda comes in place of Dulal Biswas as right back. If Bagan's back four can check Rizvi and Manjit from drifting into scoring positions early in the match, the Calcutta club can have the last laugh. The match will be shown live, on DD1 and DD Sports from 2.15 p.m.
