    Hernandez might have scored 2 in the last game but he looked so slow and unable to even run around in the 2nd half..it was so obvious that we was gonna be replaced

    Yea, the news came out in some of the bengali news channel yesterday. We need some tough talking/whipping headmasters especially amongst few of the kolkata teams. Thats so prevalent in EB for the last 2 years( TJM is an extremely hard taskmaster and doesn't take anything for granted and also have imbibed the same in his team) and hence EB is one of the fittest team currently in the I- League. Thats accountability. What is important is that the foreign coaches are far more accountable to their job/team than their Indian counterpart - thats something which our Indian coaches should learn, instead of bitching about the credibility of a foreign coach.I have also watched Elco's first press conference and on the very start day he said there are few things which he is very particular about, with fitness being the key and whosoever has an issue with fitness, would be dealt with accordingly. 
    I would say, with money pouring in the way it is(surely yes, otherwise Carlos Hernandez would't have come to India!), its absolutely right to have a professional culture. MB, I would say is the only team,lacks(amongst many things that is non existent)fitness culture! The club feels that a half fit Odafa can score goals at ease! See what happened with Tolgay - he is out the clutches of TJM and already limping! Same with Odafa - haven't seen him doing a pre season conditioning/training in the last 2 years - ever since he has joined MB. This is how Barretto used to mint money during the end of his career in MB, without doing the fitness drills - and now u see Barretto - he didn't go back to Brazil after the end of the last season(as he was out of MB and hence the club must not have sponsored his trip!!! ), and now that he is with a smaller team, he is doing the right things in terms of remaining fit. 
    I would say, the culture is so unprofessional in Kolkata, that few players are trying to take advantage of the situation, which they wouldn't be able to, had they played in Goa clubs, where things are much more structured.

    The statements on Barretto ain't true.  He did go back to Brazil but was delayed because he was conducting trials for new players. Also, last year, he requested the MB officials umpteen times to hire a physical trainer, even forwarded the resume of one from Brazil, which MB officials were willing to hire but Steve Darby wanted Jonathan Corner, a rehab physio instead of a physical trainer.

    This year Robson, Bhowanipore's coach who is basically a physical trainer has a big role in getting Barretto fit enough to play in spite of his career threatening injury, although to the best of my knowledge Barretto has been advised not to go full throttle given the nature of his existing injury.


  • what eelco is doingis good for prayag in the long run.....he will take time to change this unprofessional system in place, BUT  for that to happen prayag officials should stand firmly behind him.....NO INDIVIDUAL IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB.....

    Per Henrikson, the GK coach at Prayag

    In my interactions with him, I found him a very nice person. As it is with a lot of foreigners who come to India with a lot of hope but are in for a rude shock with the environment, public health and hygiene etc.

    Eelco has ordered special fat burn training for Carlos. He found out the trainer himself in Calcutta( btw there's only one such trainer with the required expertise in Calcutta) and he is going to accompany Carlos daily  to the training sessions. The entire training package is going to cost around 70 grand.


    I am just loving this but very skeptical if he can continue with his tirade on fitness without pissing off star players.

    Hernandez is not a happy person these days. He came to India to make money while not being fully fit. Now this new coach is creating trouble for him.
