I would rather have him concentrate on SAFF Cup as of now. This insurance bullshit can be taken care of later after the SAFF Cup is over. Not his fan or supporter, but just give SC a break and do his work in hand for what he is appointed. INDIA WINNING MATCHES

Constantine is father of Zola? That's explains why be gave debut to a u19 player.

If Zuala is fit, we don't need Romeo anymore.  At the most, he'll be a substitute only.  Mandars left wing is still open however.

Zuala was able to score easily because it was nepal, he was given space  to score you think afghanistan defenders will do that?

"Figures are rising’ but far away from World Standards" - Sports Scientist Danny Deigan “You have a look at the figures. Over stats collected from the last two editions of the World Cup to games involving top Club sides in La Liga, Bundesliga, the EPL and other Premier Leagues, a distance of 10-12 kms is to be covered by a Player depending on his position,” Deigan informs. “A wing back as per World standards cover 10400 meters in a match; a Central Defender 9650 meters; a Midfielder 11200 meters and a Forward 10400 meters,” Deigan goes on “In the match against Iran in Bengaluru, where we used the GPS for the first time, our wing backs covered a distance of 9507 meters; Central Defenders 9100 meters; Midfielders 10872 Meters and the Forwards 10137 meters,” that’s what the GPS says. “In our last match against Nepal in the SAFF Suzuki Cup, the Wing backs covered 10476 meters, Central Defenders 9435 meters; Midfielders 11298 meters while the Forwards 10600 meters,” Deigan points. Deigan insists. “You need to take into consideration the distances covered by a Player as a high speed, over 14km per hour. That’s a big part of where we need to improve if we are to go forward.” “As per the World standards, wing backs cover 2800 meters at high speed (ie over 14km per hour); Central Defenders 2000 meters; Midfielders 3050 meters and Forwards 2600 meters,” “In the match against Iran where we first used the GPS, our Wingbacks covered 1465 meters, Central Defenders 1117 meters; Midfielders 2272 meters while the Forwards 2098 meters,” Deigan pronounces. “In our last match against Nepal, however, the figures have increased a bit. The wing backs covered 2020 meters; Central defenders 1196 meters; Midfielders 2407 meters and Forwards 2430 meters.” "Gap between Football at domestic level and at International level is huge and for us the biggest challenge is to bridge the gap"- Danny https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=6899

The more sad thing is our best is not able to match the average of the world... just imagine if we start considering the i-league average.. it will fall further
