People do not laugh because an ISL team is spending money on their academy, they laugh seeing other people believe at the fake news of them spending humongous amounts on their fake academies.
Surprising to see TFA being beaten by East Bengal Academy team instead of having tough selection criteria.. for new recruits and running structured program for long...
EB academy is pretty well organised in itself. The boys have been together for some time now and they play well as a unit. Not surprised by the result all.
Internet Desk: East Bengal will take on Salgaocar FC witha place in the U-18 I-League final on the line at the Barasat Stadium in Kolkata on Friday.
East Bengal and Salgaocar FC have never made into the final of the
competition and both will be desperate to get one hand on the trophy.
Incidentally, the Goan outfit bowed out in the semi-final last season.
Making their maiden semi-final appearance, East Bengal have
established themselves as one of the top contenders after registering
some impressive performances during their group stage campaign.
The Red and Golds started off with a 1-0 victory over Maharashtra
zone champions FC Pune City followed by a 3-1 win against last edition’s
runners-up Tata Football Academy that sent them into the semi-finals
for the first time before playing out a 2-2 draw with Shillong Lajong FC
in their last group game.
Coach Ranjan Chowdhury has done an impressive job with East Bengal’s
youth set up. East Bengal’s success in the competition has been based on
coach Chowdhury’s tactics and the Red and Golds will look to continue
their fine form in the knockout phase.
The Greens booked their place into the semi-finals as the best
runners-up beating Royal Wahingdoh FC and Bhaichung Bhutia Football
Schools.
Striker Liston Colaco, who is top scorer of the competition, holds
the key for Salgaocar and expected to provide a stiff challenge for the
East Bengal defence that has been slightly exposed in the game against
Lajong.
These two teams met in 2016 IFA Shield where the Red and Golds had
the last laugh courtesy a 2-0 victory. Hence, the Greens would look to
set the record straight when it matters the most.
