'Want to win Super Cup for East Bengal fans'

New Delhi: Determined to go all the way after defeating Aizawl FC in Hero Super Cup quarters in Bhubaneswar on Sunday, East Bengal attacker Ansumane Kromah said he wants to win the inaugural silverware for the club fans.
"After not winning the I-Ieague, fans are angry that we didn't win it. And I agree with them. They come from far to watch us play and when we don't match their expectations. Fans have every right to be angry. So we want to win this title (Super Cup) for them. I know it won't be same as ileague but we want to make them happy," he said on Monday.
Kromah played a direct role in Red & Gold's victory on Sunday when running free in the box, he was taken down by Aizawl goalkeeper Lalawmpuia. The contact resulted in Kromah being stretched out of the field as he took no further part in the mtach.
Fortunately, his teammate Laldanmawia Ralte converted the penalty succesfully. The 26-year-old Liberian striker confirmed it's just a nagging injury as he will be back for the semi-final match.
"It was a minor injury as suggested by our team doctor, I am fully fit and fine to play the next match. It was a very important win for us which came very late. Nevertheless, we are focusing on the semifinal now," the former Bagan player said.
Since his move to East Bengal from arch-rivals Mohun Bagan, Kromah now got new teammates in Dudu Omagbemi, Mahmoud Al Amnah and Yusa Katsumi. The forward feels having such quality players make them potent attacking threat.
"We have a very strong attacking line in Katsumi, Amnah and Dudu. So we feel very confident about our attacking strength. I am fortunate to have such quality players as my teammates," he explained.
