Least surprised this coming from Armando and his staff. He constantly speaks up HIS SYSTEM TO THE MEDIA, as if individual skill/brilliance has no place in football. As I pointed out after the first couple games, Carlos was having similar issues but Sanjay Sen and the Prayag coaching staff are working with the Indian players to improve their game and support Carlos, that's the ability to recognize superior talent and working up to it rather than asking him to dumb down to our shitty level.
Armando does NOT DESERVE ALL CREDIT for Dempo's success. With a set team playing together for so long, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF THE COACH IS GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF FREEDOM AND SAY IN DECISION MAKING, BOTH FOOTBALL AND NON FOOTBALL related matters, success is a given, more so considering India not being that advanced in its systematic approach to football. The system at Dempo laid down by their top management including Dempo Srinivasan has a lot to do with their successful run at the national level.
Rohan has failed to understand the bigger point indirectly told to him. What Colaco meant was to tell him to pull up his socks and play well or he can fcuk off. Another inside story doing rounds in Goa is that the top mngmt at Dempo are not happy with Rohan. Only Colaco is trying to save Rohan's ass since he had signed him. I wont be surprised if he gets the boot soon. Thats why this guy is making such statements.
I do not believe that. We are talking about a player who has always played at a high level his whole career. Even higher than Carlos. This is why the IMG League is not good because I have seen this from MLS. We are seeing a preview of it with Rohan.
Dempo coach Armando Colaco responded to the allegations by saying: “They
think it is easy to play in India… foreigners are brought so that we
can learn something special about them. It is a pity that he has tweeted
this way. I will never tell a player to lower his level. All that I
have requested is to adapt to our style of play.”
Well I am not surprised that Rohan Ricketts played 10 teams in 5 years. That moron calls himself professional and goes around bitching about the team he plays for. His statement smacks off superiority complex. And then he says, "I came in India to lift the football in the country". Well FUCK YOU! You came to India because no-one was willing to stick around your lame ass. You were crap. You dare not leave mid-season to find another club coz next thing you know, you might land up in Timbuktu because that is where you belong.
