Yes playing 10 matches in 32 days is really tough. And MB did a reasonable job by agreeing to play during International break without national players. But why should the opponent AFC be punished for the inability of MB? So hypothetically, if AFC players are selected in a National team, then they too will be missing players for this tie. Why should AFC agree to this?
So here we go.... at the Half way stage of the I-League,
HOME advantage is something for sure ( except if you are BFC)
14 wins for the home team 9 for the away team & 9 draws
HOME teams have scored 42 goals to the AWAY teams 30
23 Clean Sheets in the games so far with draw specialist Mumbai FC & SLFC having 4 a piece as well as East Bengal . SALGAOCAR are the only team YET to keep a Cleansheet !!
FOREIGN Strikers continue to dominate with 61% of the goals scored ( 44 / 72 )
INDIANS catching up with 28 thanks to Indian NT discards CK Vineeth , Balwant Singh & Sushil Kumar goals adding to the usual names of Sunil Chhetri & Jeje Lalpekhlua
69% of the GOALS have come from open play ( 50/72), while on 5 PK's have been converted , 17 other GOALS have come from Set Pieces , just showing how in a shortened season , teams have less and less time to work on these things. ( normally we see around 33% in the I-League )
thats all the boys could come up with..... sure some of you have some more fascinating bits....
Samad Ali Mullick, the promising right-back of East Bengal got injured in the club's practice session on Thursday morning, when he clashed with Bikash Jairu while vying for an aerial ball.
The youngster, whose rise from the third tier of Kolkata football's league structure to the highest level of Indian football in three months' time grabbed eyeballs, had five stitches on his head after being rushed to a nearby nursing home in Salt Lake Central Park
This is the deference between lord Robin and Lord Jairu. robin intentionally gets injured give youngsters chance and Jairu injures youngsters so oldies can play in that position. Lord Robin ki Jai
