I was trying to remember MB performance against an Iranian club in IFA shield in the 90s , though we lost 2-0 I still remember I had jitters how MB played. Second half we almost nailed them. There are other good performances as well when we actually did not have -lets football. Example. https://www.telegraphindia.com/sports/bagan-eliminate-pakhtakor/cid/1222071 Similarly EBs history against foreign clubs is also so good. And overall boths teams and later dempo were competitive. I mean, it looks like we were better off being non professionals. There were so many tournaments all year round and players were playing like 50-60 matches per season. So even without proper infra and everything else , we were better off than what its now even though probably with players having much better training and exposures in their young age.

exactly. that's what we need. even if isl and i league is for 3-4 months, any other corporates or the clubs can conduct many national level tournaments super cup, durand cup, sait nagjee. these tournaments should cover all of the i league and isl teams.
state legaues with more duration must having i league ans isl clubs.
since there will be many trophies to look out for, it will be a motivation for less fancy teams to give it a shot.
To be honest this was still a pre-season game for Bagan. Playing one of their new foreigners for the first time. The issue I see is from the poor performance of Manvir,Liston,Kotal,Ashutosh etc and it equally impacts the NT as well
