Stupid FSDL and AIFF for not realising that national team fortunes directly affect clubs' fortunes in terms of fan attraction and sponsorship. And now if all ISL clubs refuse to release players for Asian Games, what will Stomach do? How will we field a side without any of our main players? Will India withdraw?
Nothing is in AIFF hands now. most feasible option: Rescheduling ISL calendar. other options: All clubs should be allowed to field 6 foreign players in ISL start XI. If not, most impacted clubs like BFC(6 players) should be allowed to field additional foreign players in ISL XI.
If not, I think Mumbai will release only Vikram Pratap. Also, Odisha (2 players) & Punjab (1 player) may not release their players. BFC at-max will release only 3 players. Even MB will release either Asish/Anwar due to their AFC commitments.
This truly turns out to be bad. Asian games is very important according to me. A medal and Indian football will sky rocket. These fools of fsdl just have no idea. Indian cricket is at this juncture because of how Dalmiya marketed Indian team in the 90s. Even if they follow cricket they should know what was done there
We can't really compare Football with Cricket. Any businessperson would prefer to promote IPL than ISL and FSDL(Reliance) don't want clash ISL & IPL.
If we win 2023 Cricket World Cup. Craze would be doubled, and it is a known fact & we need to live with it.
A medal in Asian games ?? Expecting too much brother. At-max, I'm expecting top 8 finish. Even if we top our group, we need to defeat atleast 2 teams like S.Korea/Japan/Saudi/Iran to secure a medal.
He seems to be doing well in the pre-season matches:
Jamshedpur FC go down 2-1 to Sreenidi Deccan FC in second pre-season match in Hyderabad
'The new signing [Imran Khan] scored the opening goal of the game after some terrific work by Komal Thatal who beat a few defenders including his former teammate Eli Sabia with his speed before setting up a delicious pass for Imran to open the scoring.'

Every Indian youth player should take lessons from this. Social media is such a time waste and can affect mental health.
