  • New Coach by December’ We are not having a good run at the
    moment but that happens to any
    football club. We have a young team
    and I have full confidence in my players
    to turn around the situation soon. It is
    just a matter of time. We cannot act like big clubs and just
    throw money around to get big names.
    We have financial restriction. We only
    need to work hard on the ground and
    also hope for little luck.
    I am in talks with few coaches and by December we will have a coach for
    United Sikkim FC. I shall work along and
    help the new coach.
    The I-League is still only 6 matches old
    and we have 20 more matches to go.
    It's still long way and I am very positive about my team to do well sooner or
    later. -Club CEO/interim coach/player
    Bhaichung Bhutia to media in Pune.

  • Good on him. At least he is somewhat being realistic here (I doubt you guys have that much money to spend anyway otherwise you would surely buy experience to help these young players.)

    An AIFF preview of the United Sikkim v/s
    Pune FC match
    Match is Live at Ten Action from 5:30 pm,
    November 24, 2012

    PUNE: United Sikkim Football Club and
    talismanic Bhaichung Bhutia might find
    more fans than the home team Pune FC
    when the two sides meet in the Round
    VII match of the I-League football
    championship at the Balewadi Sports Complex stadium on Saturday.
    More fans do not necessarily mean
    that player-coach Bhutia can swing the
    match in his way as well-rested Pune FC
    is looking to get back into their groove
    after their match against Air India was postponed last week.
    This will be first meeting between Pune
    FC and United Sikkim FC in the I-League
    championship, but whichever way the
    home side will be favourite to win the
    encounter that will help them move up the standings and still have a match in
    hand.

    At the beginning of the season Pune and
    Sikkim outfits met in the Federation Cup
    tournament wherein Pune won by a
    solitary goal. Bhutia’s presence hasn’t done much to lift the team’s performance
    —whether the former India captain is
    playing or guiding the team from the
    sidelines.
    Back-to-back reverses at home and away
    had shaken Pune FC, but a morale boosting win against Pailan Arrows had
    put them on track and that is from where
    Derrick Pereira would like to start against
    United Sikkim, which faced the ignominy
    of losing 1-10 against Prayag United SC
    in Round V.

    The Sikkim outfit then travelled to Goa
    where Sporting Clube de Goa beat them
    2-1—the result putting the North-
    Easterners at No 13 position, just one
    place above the bottom-ranked Air India.
    Sandesh Jhingan was the saviour for Sikkim after Sporting Clube had gone 2-0
    up in the first 15 minutes of the match.
    Bhutia had begun from bench for his first
    match as interim coach, with Anwar Ali
    at the heart of the defense, while Michael
    Rodriguez drove the midfield and provided support for strikers Nurudden
    Salau and Nadong Bhutia.

    Bhutia then took the field, but failed to
    provide any spark in an otherwise dull
    affair, something that United Sikkim will
    have to guard against. Pune FC on the other hand is hoping to
    beat Sikkim both on ground and from the
    stands. With the match being telecast
    live, the hosts have done enough
    campaign to attract fans to the stadium
    for the 5.30 pm start, an hour earlier than usual start for the home team matches.
    “I feel so far we’ve done well to reduce
    mistakes. And have done so considerably
    as the league has progressed,” said
    Pereira.
    “Playing in our conditions and under floodlights is an advantage. But overall
    every match is important.”
    Pune FC has the luxury of picking the
    team from entire set of players with
    every player in good shape and without
    injury except for midfielder Shanmugam Venkatesh—posing a challenge for the
    coach.

    Venkatesh is yet to recover from a
    hamstring injury, but Pereira has lots of
    choice to pick from.
    Though Jeje Lalpekhlua is yet to blossom
    as the coach would have liked to, but Subhash Singh has nicely filled in the
    void with his brisk work upfront. James
    Moga too is back in good health and
    skipper Douhou Pierre would expect the
    Sudanese forward to make his place
    count. (Courtesy: AIFF)

  • Pune has a strong North East community. Hope they come to stadium in good numbers for Jeje and Bhutia.
