Zinc football is doing something brilliant at grassroots level in Rajasthan, where no proper football set up exist ... The Vedanta scion is doing this .. Hope we can see a few guys from this zinc football to play for junior national team
All India Football Federation confirms two
International Friendlies for the Indian Men’s National Team in March
2021. The Blue Tigers will take on Oman in the first match on March 25
while the second match is scheduled against United Arab Emirates on
March 29.
I don’t care about statistics and ranking, we have to play stronger opponents: Stimac
“Many people are too often looking at Fifa rankings. That is not important,” Stimac told..“We have to play better teams. I don’t want opponents who are easy to beat. I don’t care about statistics and numbers. We have to look at the long-term development of Indian football.
“I wanted to see many new players, particularly youngsters who have impressed this season. This is by far the best ISL season and shows the quality of young players we have. We need to work harder to open spaces for them,” said Stimac.
Once the friendlies in Dubai are over, Stimac is planning a longer camp in April, possibly for six weeks.
"Some of the youngsters have come up with great performances, but they may not be there (in Dubai). They will get their chance, surely, when we have the second phase of the camp prior to qualifiers,” said Stimac.
Stimac is expected to name 28 probables and eight reserves for the two friendlies in Dubai.
