isn't kolkata ,goa & pune more deserving to hold the match.
no,,its better in ambhedkar stadium if not JLN... Pune/Goa , we can see lesser people attending the match when compared to delhi... not sure abut kolkata..
I haven't saw Indian NT playing in kolkata... I would like to see India playing its match in kolkata with 1 lakh crowd support,,
Just to correct everyone's attitude towards the changing AIFF, the passport is NOT the responsibility of AIFF. Salgaocar is the one to be blamed
Why sud Salgaocar be blamed? they were not planning to play abroad last season...AIFF sud always check whether all the camp members have everything ready...if they had checked that at the start then passport cud have been acquired
firstly players itself should be blamed....
secondly club shuld be blamed...
what AIFF will do.. they just called them to national camp recently... and playing for salgoacar so long.. and we shuldn't forget that salgoacar from league starting onwards are title contenders and there is a fair chance for them to be champions and going to play in AFC cup.. if not players.. they need to take it serious... now a days passport is common thing for any professional...
also.. now salgoacar are I league champions.. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s -->
3 Saglaocar Players donot even have a passport so the will not travell to UAE
such unproffesional managment of aiff
When will we change and show some professionalism
Reminds me of Sushil's fiasco, when AIFF forgot that he was suspended....in one hand we are talking about bring world cuppers in PLS or Ortega signing for Dempo....and in other hand we still have such news
why always blaming AIFF... anyhow regarding sushil's issue, I agree that its AIFF fault to keep him in the camp... shows how bad they are....
but what sushil is doing.. he shuld know all these things... can't he open his mouth...
India Seniors played a practice match today with U23 team and won by 2-0 margin.Peter Carvalho and Rahim Nabi scored for them.Seems senior team is gradually improving.
It was all about idols. National Team goalkeeper Subrata Pal, in the official interaction at the Ambedkar Stadium said: “Sandip Nandy is my idol. I have always looked up to him and learnt so much.”
India U-23 Goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani, standing next added: “Subrata Pal is my idol. I want to play like him. I have always looked up to him and learnt so much.”
Subrata smiled and patted Kattimani on his back. Some minutes later, when Sandip was told about Subrata’s comments, he commented: “He is a great guy; a role model.” It all speaks about the camaraderie in the ongoing National Camp at the Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi.
In any case, Friday was a bit different as Armando Coalco’s Senior Team took on the U-23 Young Guns in a practice match which ended 1-1.
While Snehahish Chakraborty put the U-23 team in the lead in the first half, Anthony Barbossa pulled it back for the Seniors in the second half.
“I wanted to have a look at as many players as possible,” Armando justified later, referring to him fielding two entirely different starting XIs in the two halves.
“It’s getting better day by day and I’m happy with the progress. The new Players (U-23) are adjusting to my style,” he said.
Subrata lauded Armando for running the show in a planned manner. “The set-up is new. The Coach is making the Players understand his style of play and the entire squad had been supportive of his plan.”
The good news stays that Subrata, by his own confession is “totally fit.”
“I started practicing a couple of days back. I had a bit of niggle in my right hand but it’s over.”
Lalrindika Ralte is at the acme of his career and has made his presence felt in the recently concluded I-Legaue as well as in the Pre-Olympic qualifiers against Qatar.
The Mizo lad who earned a place in the Senior National Camp for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against UAE has already won many hearts and impressed everyone with his talent.
‘’This is my first Senior National Camp and I am pretty excited. The Seniors are guiding us very well and I’m learning a lot from them,’’ said Lalrindika.
‘’ I consider myself lucky to train with such talented players. This is my second stint with Senior National Team having played earlier in the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers in Malaysia,’’ added Sabeeth CS who plays for Viva Kerala in the I-league.
‘’The state of football in Mizoram is very good now. There are lots of initiatives being taken to promote the game there. It’s the most liked sport and people take a great interest in playing as well as following it,’’ said Lalrindika throwing some light on the current situation of football in Mizoram

‘’I would like to thank God first of all. Nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself and work hard for your goal. I am very much satisfied with the current progress especially after a notable performance in the I-League and I will try to give my best,’’ added Mehtab.
Meanwhile Rahim Nabi versatility gives lots of options to the coach and the former TFA cadet is all happy with composition of the team.
‘’We have a very good mixture of young and experienced players in the team. The seniors are guiding the juniors very well and the juniors are responding as well. All the players understand the importance of the coming matches and are giving their best in the training sessions,’’ said Nabi.
Indian Arrows midfielder, Jewel Raja who was also a part of the Indian team that played in the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers in Malaysia is enjoying every bit of it.
‘’I am enjoying the camp a lot. After playing in the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers in Malaysia, this is my second stint with senior team. There is lot to be learned in the camp on a whole and as a starter I am quite happy with the progress.’’
