Losing to Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong would not give the boys any confidence. Btw do you know we lost to Pakistan, who played so bad, 0-2. At least playing at the Club B level is a good start towards achieving higher goals. Wim knows what he is doing, but still not happy with the team he selected.
Wim does not even mnow about the opposition !! Thats awful due diligence from the NT coach The tours are inspired by agents like Inspire Football Academy or some Dubai based guys with links to AIFF. No one enquires about the details or does thorough checks. Wim could easily have played against proper opposition both locally ( I-League) or better foreign teams. For the cost of staying in China & Czech Republic. ..they could've invited some quality opposition and played in India. Wim might have requested easy opponent's to help boost confidence and also save face after the Pakistam game debacle. He has changed his line up to some extent...he still persists with Francis..coz dropping him will being an admission of a bad choice.
"Acche Din" Government doing this with India National team??? Shamefull situation. Cant Blame AIFF now as they did their best. It is Central Government which is blocking.
Alwyn George , Rowlin Borges , Salam Ranjan and Dhanpal Ganeshan dont make the final cut.... Alwyn gone from Young player of the year ....twice...and also in full national team. ...to U23 reject....
Must've been a really naughty boy in Czech Republic
Well done Arthur Papas. .takes a young talent like Alwyn...doesn't nurture him properly. ..and hets bossed around by Beto...now Alwyn has gone seriously down hill both on & off the field.
For all Arthur's ..so called coaching acumen..his man management skills are yet to mature
