    Best time to sack him was after the WC qualifiers, India never had that dismal qualification.

    Translation 

    For the last two and a half years, despite the good performance of the Indian football team, why was the alarm of eliminating the coach due to an escapee defeat? Read to learn ..

    For 13 consecutive matches and almost two years unbeatable, the world number one leap from 173 to 96, and the ability to qualify for the Asia Cup after eight years, despite all such positive atmosphere, despite the fact that the people of Indian football have been following the spirit of divination, for the last few years, all this is unhealthy. On Tuesday, the social media has flaunted on Tuesday. It was a coincidence that India, facing defending qualifying round of Asia Cup, will face Kyrgyzstan. This match was defeated by India 2-1 and if the #constantineout hit all the Internet, then the match would be meaningless, because both teams were already eligible for the 2019 Asia Cup and the team's elimination of the main tournament for the main draw There is no direct result, Even then, after 13 matches, how could a single defeat befall the #constantineout trend (How can Stephen Constantine be the coach of India's national football team)? To understand this, you have to know a little earlier.

    In 2008, India was a part of the fate of the 2011 Asia Cup qualifying, but it would still have to be credited to India's then coach Bob Houghton. The part of the fate is that the Indian team was never strong enough to qualify for Asia Cup in the last 20 years, and there are many Asian countries with Asian beads in Asia. For such nationalities, the Asian Football Federation made an easy way through the AFC Challenge Cup since 2006. The 2008 competition of the year took place in Delhi and with the strong support of the Delhi players, India got the eligibility by winning the competition. Before that India was qualified 27 years back in 1984. Naturally, the significance of this hero was great and due to the participation of three years ago the participants had enough time to prepare. But despite all this, our team will face 4-0, 5-2, 4-1, with a strong margin and the time has come to clash in the group league. After some months some controversial developments were created or made, and Houton resigned. In his place, almost every year, the Dutch coach of Weim Kovermans was appointed. India won Nehru Cup for the third time in the first year of their appointment, but the qualifying round of the Challenge Cup that was held next year could not overcome the Indian team. This was happening for the first time, and in 2013 South Asia Cup, India had to be beaten by Afghanistan in the final. The friendly fight against Bangladesh against Bangladesh could not be won the next year. After the defeat against Palestine, Kovermans stepped down and were appointed their current coach Steven Constantine. He had played this role in the past and during his tenure India won the LG Cup and improved its image at international level. So obviously they were also very much expected from their second innings.

    The first goal after the appointment was the World Cup qualifying round. As expected, in the first round, India has taken a convincing win against Nepal. Then preparations for the second round started. This round group was going to be in line and it started from Ghasargandi. The first match was against Oman. It was a 2-1 defeat in brief, that was expected. Oman is in the FIFA rankings for 9 7 and you are 147. The next game was against Guam, the island under an American powerhouse in the Pacific Ocean. These people have a population of one lakh 60 thousand people. World Rankings 175th Place In short, it was a fight that could easily be lost, but Guam gave us 2-1. The remaining teams were Turkmenistan and Iran. When the round was over after eight matches, India had a score of 3, total defeat was seven, and at the bottom of the group's bottom.

    After this fact, the Indian Football Federation had to take a firm decision. But even after such a poor performance, Constantine was abducted. Now India will have to face the Asia Cup qualifier. India won the doubles game against Laos and kept the challenge and entered the final. For the 2019 tournament, the number of participating teams was reduced from 24 to 24, yet 12 seats were left, and in the last round, there were 24 teams. This straightforward mathematics that six groups of four teams and two top teams in each group will enter the main event. In order to get India a relatively easy team, it was necessary to be at the top of the team rankings during the group draw. As a result, the world's top ranking in Puerto Rico was called for a friendly match and all hostilities started from here. A day before the match, Puerto Rico team arrived in India, India has lost as much as expected and foreigners who have not played some important players before Jet Lorg has lost and India's rankings are improved. India got the easiest group in the group league, and after four matches as per expected, India made its main competition.

    After the match against Laos, India played 11 matches in total. In the qualifying round, six were left, while the remaining matches were against Nepal, Cambodia, Mauritius, Puerto Rico and St. Kitts. Of which the team of St. Kitts has their secondary occupation In Nepal and Cambodia, Asia Cup qualifying rounds are in the bottom of each group and Mauritius is the most spectacular performer so far in the year 1974 in the African Cup of Nations alone. During this time, India had two friendly encounters - one was against Lebanon (LeBenon had withdrawn from time, invited the most successful workers to Nepal) and the other with Palestine. This is canceled by our federation. Avoid the chances of injuries to the players before important matches were given to them.

    Constantine has been making an allegation from the appointment that he gives consistent tilt measurements to certain players in the team selection. Since 2015, two names appear in Constantine's team - the first is Sumit Pasi and the other is Mohammad Rafiq. Both of these players are also not very good at their club. Pasi has played 15 matches in the last two years, he also did not play as a match changer at the club level and at this year's ISL (Indian Super League). The second wager of the same name is not included in the primary 30 players of consistent performers such as Jayesh Rane, Brandon Fernandes, Mandar Rao Desai, Adil Khan, Subhasish Bose and Rahul Sheke. Another allegation is that they completely depend on their supporters for the selection and are never present at the local level matches.

    He played the match against Kyrgyzstan and did most. In the primary 24 players, six left backs are selected and there is no address in any right back-side team. In the last team, Lal Ruthramar played as a right back, which is basically left-back and it was a match for his national team. Naturally, the Kyrgyzstan captain danced to him as desired. Rowlin Borges and Mohammed Rafiq did not know the purpose of their lives in the whole match. The ball went into the middle of the defenders from either the defenders, either he was being blown away indiscriminately, or surrendered to the team. In the entire match, the Indian team could not pass three consecutive or four consecutive matches. So, after ending the match, fans ended their despair on the Internet and #constantineout started surfacing the internet.

    A trainer who really can get the Indian out of the traditional English long ball genre is a must. Bengaluru FC coach Albert Rocca should be searched as a criterion. It was right to send respectfully to Constantine when he was in fact the place in the Asia Cup. Because, their limitations can not be higher than this. But the federation did not do this. Last year, some important players in the Indian team were upset with the trainer and were very upset that they can rebel. But that rebel was not done or was pressed. It's not wise to take Constantine so long and they can change their team selection if they are under pressure. Otherwise, it is not impossible to get back to the tennis match scorer in 2019.

    I think we should make peace with the hard fact that Consta will stay up to Asian Cup end. His contract should not have been renewed I agree, but now that it has been done, nothing else can be done. To sack him now it will cost a lot of money and AIFF won't spend it.

  • even if we sack consta, the new coach won't help us as he has no idea of the 2 leagues and NT. And we have to say that ohh this manager didn't get any time to spend with the squad, so we lost.

    Wim did try to play short passing but quickly shifted to long balls 
    Remember 2013 SAFF it was very painful to watch we were struggling against Pakistan,Bangladesh,Nepal 

    And even Chhetri was poor in that whole tourney
