Manish Maithani entered the Indian football scene in most dramatic fashion last year. Manish, known by very few then, was signed by Mohun Bagan and made his I –league debut against Viva Kerala, where he scored a goal in his five minute stay as a substitute. In his second match, he played against East Bengal in the world famous Kolkata derby, where he was given a place in first XI by Karim Bencherifa. In the high pressure derby, where even most seasoned players falter, this youngster from Dehradun not only gave a superb performance but also grabbed a goal for himself. From then, there was no looking back, he was quickly drafted in the Indian u-23 side and became a regular in Mohun Bagan midfield. His good performances continued for Indian u-23 side too, where he helped his team to win SAFF Cup and give a good performance in Asian games, where India qualified for the knockout stages since 1982. This season was bit of a disappointment as Mohun Bagan performed below expectations and 24 year old Manish missed a lot of action owing to injury, ironically, sustained in a Kolkata derby game. Even before I-League, success was not unknown to this lad. He was chosen as the ‘Best Player’ in Subroto cup in 2001, while playing for Army Boys in Bangalore. In 2008, while playing for Indian National Football Club, he was awarded the ‘Best Midfielder’ in Delhi league. In an exclusive interview with Indian Football Network, Manish Maithani talks about his early days and the road ahead.
