Delhi Dynamos striker Richard Gadze has completed a loan move to Finland’s HJK Helinski. Gadze scored four goals for the ISL franchise in the second edition of the competition.
“It’s a proud moment for an Indian club that’s been in existence for only two seasons of the HISL to have their player Richard Gadze go out on loan to HJK Helsinki, which is a top tier club from Finland. This is a first for an Indian club, to loan out a player to a club in Europe playing in the Europa League,” said Dynamos President, Prashant Agarwal.
Amongst those who plied their trade for the Lions, Florent Malouda has joined Egypt’s WadiDegla, Hans Mulder and Toni Doblas are playing for Cacereno and CD Toledo in Spain. John Arne Riise is plying his trade for Norway’s Aalesunds FK.
Ahm Ahm Where footballers go to die according to some
ISL is definitely giving footballers wings, albeit foreign players. HJK Helsinki ... Wadi Dengla ... Cacereno ... Aalesunds FK ... nice to get to know exotic names of front-running teams.
Of course, ISL gave Indian players like Rennedy Singh, Rakesh Masih recognition in Europe ...
Two Indian internationals will visit LFC’s Academy and Melwood training ground this week in recognition of their hard work and achievements at the LFC International Academy in Maharashtra, India.
Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Lallianzuala Chhangte (Zola) have been invited to Liverpool to take part in a week-long coaching programme at the LFC Academy in Kirkby, making them the first ever players from the Liverpool International Football Academy - DSK Shivajians to ever be awarded the chance.
The first stop on the experience was Melwood where Zola and Jerry got the chance to meet first team players, James Milner and Phillipe Coutinho to pick up some tips and words of encouragement before observing a First Team training session led by Manager Jürgen Klopp.
The two young players who have been with the LFC-DSK Academy for around two years have performed impressively for both the Academy and the India national youth and senior teams.
Zola recently became LFC-DSK’s first ever player to play for the Indian senior team, making history for not only being the nation’s youngest ever debutant but also youngest ever goal scorer.
Mr Shirish Kulkarni, Executive Director, DSK Group said: “It is heartwarming to see that we have players from India who have been invited on merit to train at the Liverpool FC Academy, something which has been a part of our vision for the Academy since its inception.
“Certainly, this opportunity will lay down the pathway for Indian football to follow in the coming years. It will also go a long way in establishing Liverpool FC International Academy – DSK Shivajians as the Centre of Excellence for footballers in India. On behalf of the DSK Group, I would like to wish Lallianzuala (Zola) and Mawihmingthanga (Jerry) a successful outing”
The LFC-DSK Academy is the first Premier League club branded residential Academy in India. Launched in 2014, the Academy is currently home to 64 of India’s finest young talents across U19 and U17 age groups all receiving access to world-class infrastructure, facilities and coaching from Liverpool FC coaches who are based in India full-time. Since its launch the LFC-DSK Academy has gone on to enjoy much success of which Zola and Jerry are just two shining examples.
Interesting to note that AIFF will give a loan of 20 L to IFA for refurbishment of the Barasat Stadium. I'm though not sure if 20 L is sufficient to improve the basic facilities in & out of the playing area. I feel following things need improvement: 1. There is only One Entry / Exit gate. At the end of a match when 10-15k people rush to catch a 9-16 pm train (to Sealdah......since the next train is about 45 m later) it is total chaos. 2. The main road from the Railway station to the stadium was not made to accommodate 10-15k people moving in one direction....hence there is always trouble for the traffic. 3. The concrete gallery needs repair & painting, so does the staircases leading to the galleries (VIP gallery included). 4. Thorough cleaning of the walkway from the Main gate to the different galleries. During rainy season it is mud & slush every where. 5. Press box needs a face lift as also the VIP enclosure.
These came to my mind straightaway... there may be a few more. So I'm not convinced that 20 L is enough.... though some thing is always better than nothing.

Now it is a week training!! By this rate they would return after 1 day.
