@munna219777 ...the Seikhohau Tuboi example is a prefect case for NE age rigging. .especially Manipur. ..
He has 2 ages on Wikipedia. .1986 and 1989..if he is 28...then his best years should be now...yet he lost his place to his own cousin Seminlen Doungal ! TUBOI'S best years were 2010-11...so i would guess he is more like 31 - 32...
He even had a call up for the India team camp under Houghton...
Just shows how important it is to get guys who know Indian football. ..rather than marquee coaches ...who might be impreases with a Singam Subhas Singh or a Dika because they are "-young prospects"
You can get these marquee coaches but make sure you have a proper assistant staff that knows Indian football. Even then it might not help because we have seen some of the typical coaches in the I-League make the same type of comments on "young prospects".
> I wonder what strategy Western coaches apply to tackle with age fraud when they are in Africa. Age fraud is rampant there in African countries. Still western coaches manage to squeeze out the best teams. One more thing, if I ever see any commentary in say Africa Cup of Nations, Commentators are silent about age of players while whole teams look 30 plus. The only reason I can think of that Africans have supreme Athletic ability and age doesnt matter- 40 plus yusif yakubu still manage to play in I-League.
> Strict Financial Punishments for State Associations should be there who bring overage children for age group meets.
People like Ricki and Peter Reid are interested in India Coach position? Can they figure out the correct team and identify the young prospects and not so young players? #-o
Diego Costa is 26 now. the following link is the picture of him 9 years back. He should be 17!!!! So he is also a suspected age fraud. Lets see how he fares when he is officially 28-29. No way he is 17. this pic was taken in 2005!!!!
True but still, what I am trying to say is that people are basing a lot of stuff on things like looks. If I was a footballer in India I would have been accused many times on this forum because sometimes I look like I am in my mid-20s!
Costa, from that picture, looks like one of those highly athletic kids you see at a high-school sporting event here in the states... they are freaks of nature who do nothing but stay in the gym mainly because mommy and daddy would rather their child waste their education and get a sports scholarship instead... seen many a time.
Talk on ISL tgrad of Sandesh Jhinghan being good enough for 2nd tier of Europe or MLS [-X here we go again...transfer window opens up and hyberbole begins...
As for those wondering about the dates...I-League clubs have to register the minimum number of players by end of February and then cant register any more after 11th game..
Some player's on trials at clubs already...Bharat FC gearing up for trials of their own very soon
You don't think so? I mean, I don't think he would be a starter on an MLS side but lets use my Red Bulls as an example. Our starting back-line consists of a former Manchester United player at right-back, two over 30 center-backs, and a 30 year old left-back. As back-ups we have a guy who is solid but not amazing at right-back, 2 random Europeans who have failed to impress whenever they play, and a very promising Cameroonian left-back.
I believe Sandesh Jhingan, at the age of 21, can probably get a spot among the back-ups and then work his way to maybe a starter, if not on the Red Bulls, some other team in MLS. I honestly do believe he has the potential here with the right coaches and facilities. And it is not just based on today but since United Sikkim... Jhingan has shown himself to be a very competent defender and he has so much potential that staying in I-League would not be right for him.
