@ souravindia, coach was saying he initiated the discussion. But I doubt, it might be mutual, from president or maybe coach's call.
To be fair, it shows sad state of Indian football.. 140+ cr, not even 1 proper striker after Chhetri.
Selecting him in training camp without including in Squad is not easy , for that B.F.C should agree which I doubt since they qualified for ISL play-offs .
Chhangte had a injury during last Mumbai game & he didn't attend national training camp. It might be boon for some player in next 2 games, but not for N.T.
I wish, Ashique get few minutes in both the games, we need players like him who play with intent , be it for club or N.T & not like Liston Colaco who completely disappears while playing for N.T.
As long as Sunil is scoring goals for NT I do not care he is 40 or 60 or 80 or even 100. As soon as that stops and the team is forced to carry him instead of he carrying the team, he should be shown the door again.
yes. sadly this is what I have to say about it too. I think the panic mode started since reading about Hamza Choudhary Bangladesh related news. Bangladesh is not going to be easy pushovers.

Strange how 1 player can deplete the morale of opponent even if they are scores behind in ranking. I can agree if there are 5-6 players, but getting afraid of 1 person, I don't know what to say.

Correction they don't have 1 player they have 3 players who play abroad. But it's not that, our players cannot score. I have seen in the past how a certain Manvir/Liston has performed when given opportunities. Players like Kiyan, Siva sakthi, Gurkirat, Ishan none of them was able to overcome competition and was happy to sit on bench and rot.
So just relying on only Irfan to take all the burden seems like we are on track for a draw or lose the game. I know it is disheartening but the reality is even if we play Nepal, I am not 100% sure we have a genuine goal scoring threat. So I don't think this move comes because of them adding players. We just don't have anyone who can go there and finish the game.

They actually are bringing several europe based players. How those will get with the team is a different matter.
One player like Hamza will barely make a difference lol. This Indian team has played much better teams against naturalized players who were much better, yet it hardly mattered.
but I think the 3 players closed the gap. But they need time to gel, also hearing a lot of good news about their coach. So it won't be an easy game like in the past. But yes we can beat them now that we have Sunil
People well actually calling Sunil dead weight before his retirement
Now he's seen saviour again
He was actually in WCQ. He’s the best player to score goals for India currently, no doubt about that. But I have doubts if he can do anything against much better opponents. I hope he can prove me wrong though.
He is here only to score 5 more goals and reach 100, he knows he can do that with country's like bhutan and some pacific islands with 60-70 people on them

Why not go a few steps more and become the all time highest Asian goal scorer?
