After how AIFF used to marketize U-17 WC team results in these exposure tours I kinda don't really care about such stuff Real tests will be the Asian championship
Feel we can invest all these money on tours and create a much better youth league system with big pool of players. Does Playing a 50-60 minute game everyday really help?
Problem is that AIFF concentrate on one batch only-a small pool. Unless clubs start taking their youth programme more seriously and there is financial incentive in developing their players from childhood, nothing will improve.
On Tuesday, the India under-16 national football team played a goalless draw against Spain’s Fundacion Valencia as part of its exposure tour to that country in preparation for the Asian under-16 Championship later this year.
The result led to many believing that India had held the Valencia U-16 side 0-0. Fundacion Valencia are, in fact, a subsidiary of Spanish giants Valencia CF, who founded the ‘filial’ club in 2013 to promote local talent.
Fundacion Valencia have U-15 and U-13 teams, and while the All India Football Federation (AIFF) didn’t specify the age-group of India’s opponents, club director Pablo Mantilla said India faced the ‘Cadete A’ team, which comprised players who were 14 and 15 years old.
Given the fact that the Fundacion Valencia U-15 side met San Marcelino in the Cadetes Liga Autonómica Cadete, a regional age-group league in Valencia, on Sunday, it is possible their first team didn’t play against India
Unlike senior players junior players dont need break bw matches. There have been many instances where whole tournament have been conducted in matter of days at this age level. Also there is not much difference in quality bw A or B side of such teams.
