Alvito at least was supremely talented during his prime...Gurwinder's talent (at least in recent times) lies in conceding fouls and penalties and scoring own goals (like the one he scored against Aizawl FC in the opening match of the I-League)
East Bengal will have to do without the services of all 3 of their foreigners for the majority of CFL. Amna, Plaza and Mitchell have been called up by their respective NTs for the upcoming WCQs. Arnab, Rafique, Pujari and Salam Ranjan has also been called up for NT camp in Chennai.
This will be a new look EB side in years with VP Suher leading the line while only senior players available will be Lobo and Gurwinder. Fantastic opportunity for the 7 players who have graduated to the senior team from the Academy.
Great mileage for Abinas...IFA and AIFF continue to mess up things!!
Meanwhile, the practice match between EB and Kalighat MS has been abandoned because of heavy rain...it will be played tomorrow at the same time (3:00 p.m.)
East Bengal won the practice match against Kalighat MS 4-1. The goalscorers of East Bengal were Al Amna (pen.), Joby Justin and V.P. Suhair (2)...Hope Khalid gives Suhair and Justin enough playing time in the CFL ...I have seen Suhair playing in the 2016 CFL for United Sports...he had an excellent game against East Bengal...Joby Justin is also said to be very talented
Al Amna was the standout performer in the practice match today...scored one goal from a penalty and was the architect behind two other goals...engineered the midfield...others who impressed were Brandon, Chullova, Yami Longvah, Richard Costa...Both Plaza and Mitchell took the field...Plaza failed to make any impact, looked out of sorts and unfit...EB will play another practice match on Monday
According to the Bengali daily Ganashakti, Al Amna might not have to report to the Syrian national camp...Amna's name has not been included in the final list of the Syrian team...It has been learnt that the match Syria is supposed to play is not a FIFA recognized one...so he may don the Red and Gold jersey from the very beginning of CFL

So, are we saying, T&T selects unfit players to represent them and we sitting in India are a more fitter unit ! ?
