Reliance football young champs u14 beat Arsenal u14(3-2) and lost to leicester city (2-1) in Premier league Isl youth games ..Mumbai City fc u14 also participated in this tournament..Video of the matches can be watched in Isl facebook page. Reliance young champs played well against both teams.
If we look at English Premier League - Tall & Physically Imposing forwards / strikers like Lukaku (Man U), Rondon (Newcastle), Mitrovich (Fulham), Diego Costa & Benteke (in past) have done well. They are an important part in modern football.
Our NT Forward players are mostly short in height and also not that strong. Baichung, Sunil, Jeje, Udanta, Chhangte are/were not tall or strong. Robin Singh was tall, Ashique Kuruniyan possibly !!
While looking at our Junior teams, U18, U15 at any level I-league or AIFF team - do we see any potential tall & physically strong Striker position player who can develop??
Liston, Manvir, Jobby should be 3 players AIFF ensure their respective clubs take care of! As long as Joby plays under Menendez in EB he will get chances and keep improving. EB should try to rope in Liston as well!
