That is why I am so serious. There are barely any fully professional teams outside of Goa, Kolkata and Mumbai who dont play in India. The closest teams are Kohima Komets, Delhi United, Royal Wahingdoh, Aizawl FC, Quartz SC, and some other clubs but do they have the needs to be in a professional league... not yet. They are not ready. They need time and patience.

And there you have it. Now is there a reason for why it is justified. How will it really help instead of spreading the league out? If that is the only reason then it is obvious that not much thinking was put into this decision.
Hindustan FC has been a historical club in Delhi football. It is one of
the most famous teams in the city. We are preparing for the Delhi
Soccer League as well as our impending campaign in the second division
of the I-League. Most players in the team are locals, but we are also
trying to get in more foreigners.
We have several experienced players in the squad who have been playing
well. Good organization and teamwork is also a big strength for us. The
individual skills of the players are very good. But some of the senior
players tend to have a strong personality. That is the nature of the
football player. So it is important to ensure that they gel with the
team and their egos do not come in the way of the collective interest.
How are you going about your preparations for the I-League?
We will play a few preparatory tournaments, the first of which is
starting on Sunday. We need to improve our teamwork and co-ordination.
We will play a tournament in Nizamuddin then another tournament before
the start of the Delhi League. The Delhi Soccer League will start in
middle of January after which we will play the second division I-League.
What is your opinion of Indian football?
Since I arrived in this country, I have seen a lot of progress in
Indian football. The technical abilities have improved. The Federation
is focusing on youth development and several academies have come up. The
effects of these changes will be felt a few years down the line.
And of the football in Delhi? How according to you will it grow?
Football in Delhi needs more development. The league is played for only
two months. It is an extremely short period. If you look at the league
in Kolkata, it is held over four to five months.
The games should be spread out over a longer period. It will give the
players more time to recover and iron out their flaws. Otherwise there
will be no improvement.
Japan qualified for the 1998 World Cup just three years after
launching the J-League. But India has been unable to do so even 16 years
after starting the national league. So where have we gone wrong?
It is very important to look after the development of the players.
Japan has been focusing a lot on youth development and education of
coaches. Earlier, football in India used to suffer from lack of youth
development and adequate knowledge. The federation and clubs in India
started paying attention to building academies only recently. They have
just started and their efforts will start to show results after the next
10 years and we will start to see a stronger Indian team.
How do you view the passing football espoused by national coach Wim Kovermans?
He is a very experienced coach. I think he can be a good influence on
the Indian team and has shown results after taking over the reigns. He
has already won the Nehru cup.
Earlier, Indian teams used to depend more on long balls. But it is not
suitable for them because like the Japanese, Indian players are very
strong physically as compared to Europeans.
Kovermans changed the playing style to passing football and that is a positive development for the national team.
Tell us about your playing career.
I played for Nippon Sports Science University for four years. Then I
got a chance to play in the nationals and then I joined Shizuoka Motors
Football Club and played for then for the next four years. After that I
turned out for Kanagawa FC.
I mainly played in defence, but I can play in any position except goalkeeper.
So why did you decide to become a coach?
Football has given me everything. It has taught me how to survive in life.
I wanted to share my knowledge and experiences with the youngsters, so I decided to become a coach.
How was your coaching experience in Africa?
I was the coach of the national team in Sudan for three years and was
in charge of their youth development as well. There is a lot of passion
in African football but the infrastructure is very poor. Football is
very popular over there and everyone plays the game and enjoys watching
it. Football is their life. That is the difference between India and
Africa.
