Youth League is absolutely essential but what Indian Arrows is doing is bridging the gap from youth developmental players to senior team players. Thats the success of Indian Arrows. While in a youth league you play against the very best of young footballers, I-league will provide that extra step of rubbing shoulders with senior teams. Thats why asking 2 more champions from 2nd div/youth league to be promoted ti I-league and similarly demoted.
I think this was the first time we saw the max number of our U17 wc team in senior playing 11- Suresh, Apuia, Jeakson. Soon with more deserving players such results will start becoming a norm. This is what we had expected with that team that we will start beating Tier 2 Asian teams once these guys become seniors. Our U-19 had beaten Oman 2 years ago and the same result is what we need to be seen replicated at the senior level now. Soon we may have Amarjit, Rahul KP and few more who will bring the winning mentality they had against stronger opposition at junior level
AIFF mentioned the match starts at 8:30 PM , while Euro sports schedule show at 9:45 PM . Looks like there is a confusion in schedule .While AD sports official broadcaster in UAE show time as (7:00 PM UAE time)8:30 IST . Looks like there is one more goof up ahead .
