Shillong, Jan 2 (PTI) Reason for Stanley Rosario''s ecstacy these days goes beyond the fact that he has guided Lajong FC to their maiden final of the Federation Cup against East Bengal. After losing to Mohun Bagan in the semi-finals of last edition''s Federation Cup, he was given an unceremonious exit as the coach of East Bengal and this year his boys are up against the same team for the coveted title. Rosario says it was really unfair treatement given to him by the East Bengal last year. "I have proved myself. They did not recognize my work. Now they will have to," Rosario told PTI on the eve of the summit clash. Rosario said he was deeply hurt after being sacked by East Bengal but rejected suggestion that tomorrow''s match would be revenge encounter for him. "It''s an irony that I am meeting the same side tomorrow." He said he was happy to defeat East Bengal at the Durand Cup earlier this year. Having drubbed Dempo and Churchill, Stanley''s boys have proved beyond doubt that they are a force to reckon with. "I am proud of my boys. They have done a fantastic job and proved themselves," Rosario said. More PTI RTJ MM AT
