@Naujawan you are comparing arrows and isl vs I league ? Arrows lost all there matches and won this one, while I league clubs have been threshing your circus clubs every super cup they did not win 1 match by fluke like arrows did.
TRAU looking to re-negotiate salaries with players following termination of contract with Aciesta
The Manipur-based club will be requesting its players to lower their wages after cutting off ties with sponsors Aciesta...
Tiddim Road Atheltic Union (TRAU) finds themselves in the middle of a financial crisis after they decided to break their relationship with Aciesta Sports Alliance.
On December 28, the I-League 2nd Division Champions announced that they are looking forward to a 'mutual termination' of contract and are ready to 'go all alone' for the rest of the season if necessary.
When Goal contacted Phulen Meitei, owner of TRAU, he said," It has to be a mutual termination. We have decided to terminate the existing contract. The details will be out once it is mutually and formally terminated."
It has also been learnt that the I-League debutantes are likely to do away with some of their players who are on the higher end of the salary pyramid. Meitei also hinted at a possible re-negotiation of salaries.
"We are assessing the situation. Right now we are holding on to the players. Some of them have very high salaries. We will be negotiating with them. If things turn out positively, we will retain all the players," he informed.
TRAU are yet to win a match in I-League and they are on the last spot in the league table with just a single point from four matches.
Givson is probably our next upcoming junior star following in footsteps of Amarjit..He can play with both feet and scores as well..Great with freekicks too
Tiddim Road got crowd of 11 thousand plus in their last Home match at Imphal against Real Kashmir. So spectators is not a problem. Their sponsor company was barely an year old Calcutta firm. Lack of professionalism and ambition I would say. Another North East club bites the dust !!
A new look Indian Arrows gradually getting their act together
Indian Arrows are no strangers to making the headlines. They emerged as giant slayers last season after defeating the likes of Mohun Bagan in the I-League and Kerala Blasters in the Super Cup.
But their most recent victory against Churchill Brothers holds more significance for a variety of reasons.
This is a fresh batch of players who are playing top division football for the very first time. On Saturday, they were just playing their fourth match under the aegis of a new coach in former Indian skipper Shanmugam Venkatesh.
Keeping in mind that a team needs time to gel and adapt to a new philosophy, the performance that the youngsters put up against a formidable Churchill Brothers side deserves plaudits.
They were the better team by a mile in the first fifteen minutes of the match and although Churchill came back strongly to finish the half with a one-goal lead, the blue cavalry showed enough grit and determination to edge out the former I-League champions by scoring twice in the final 45 minutes.
Aman Chetri and Vikram Pratap Singh were playing champagne football in the opening quarter as they hardly allowed the hosts to get on the ball. Chhetri's pace and Singh's guile and trickery are an asset to this team. Moreover, their sleek passing and co-ordination in the attacking third helped them open up Churchill's defence on a number of occassions. Albeit, their finishing needs to improve but this is one of the most difficult aspects of the game and with time and experience, it will only get better.
It is also an encouraging sign that in none of their three defeats so far, they were outplayed by the opponent. It was the finer details that made the difference. Against Punjab FC and Aizawl FC, they conceded late goals due to a lapse in concentration in the final stages. Given the quality they have shown, one can hope that as the season progresses, they will also learn the art of closing out games.
They play to their strengths and their defensive organisation has been decent, if not water-tight. Containing an in-form Willis Plaza is no mean task and Ruivah Hormipam passed that test with distinction. His goal-line clearance in the 16th minute also shows his awareness and excellent game reading capability.
It must also be remembered that the young colts are playing with no overseas players in the starting line-up and more often than not, they are the difference-makers.
"If I had left out Messi (Raphael Messi Bouli) last week, I would have been playing with three foreigners and foreigners make the difference, in all teams. That is for sure," commented Eelco Schattorie, head coach of Kerala Blasters. It is striking that even an ISL coach admits that foreigners make the difference in teams. And that is the case in I-League as well.
To lock horns against professional players who are not only experienced but also physically more dominant is a daunting task but these young players have been putting in impressive shifts each time they are taking the pitch.
The road is long and the journey has just begun. But if they continue to take little strides in the right direction under the watchful eyes of Venkatesh then hopefully by the end of the season, there will be some more big scalps in the kitty.
