WAR OF WORDS: Bagan striker Duffy & Minerva owner Ranjit Bajaj engage in a banter
MOHUN BAGAN take on Minerva Punjab on Saturday and the former is fighting to regain the league title. Three points from this match can take them closer to the title.
The weather in Ludhiana is extremely hot and the visiting team had to take the field for training between 12:30-1:30. Agitated with this, Bagan's striker Darryl Duffy tweeted:
Real classy touch from Minerva to make us train 12:30pm - 1:30pm when it's 38°c 👏 #thanksfortheextramotivation #MohunBagan #HeroILeague
