Pinto's Arrows squad was much different and more experienced. This was not completely Bibiano team that played these qualifiers nor was it the complete I leagues team..This was the U18 part of the squad
Chennai City FC is doing things which AIFF , Abhishek Yadav , Bibiano and other scouts failed to do.... Thoothoor , Kanyakumari mentioned above is where Soosairaj comes from.... It is a football crazy Fishing hamlet.. There are 6 villages there and they play a football tournament every year between them,,, The rivalry is intense...
Abhishek Yadav b******d goes to Dubai , USA, Canada etc and launches app.... Did he map the hotspots of football in India and scout there every year ... if u r not selecting them, atleast visit the hotspot once every year to see if any one is there.. that will motivate players to become professionals and practice well
Similarly, there are other hotspots like Vyasarpadi (Nanda, Dhanpal Ganesh) , Avadi, Thanjavur (Kulothungun, S Pandian etc)
None of them who came through from these football crazy places , played for any India age group teams.... Dhanpal Ganesh was lucky that erstwhile Fcpune came to vyasarpadi in Chennai and took him to their academy,,,,,,,
Rohit Ramesh is doing things which all these useless AIFF officials failed....
Wish we have a thread to map and describe the football hotspots here, so that when Abhishek Yadav is sacked and if a new scouting director comes and if he sees it, he will go there and scout...
And for god sake , where is Isac doru and what has he done for the last few months??
It is again very naive to blame Isac Doru who has only just started and is working on baby leagues which is the perfect start for grassroots..AIFF and Yadav also do not deserve complete blame..they have done alright given their time and resources..Chennai should be commended and that is the approach AIFF has been harping on for so long..local clubs and state leagues need to do the scouting not the parent body
You should start the thread titled "Football hotspots".
You have so much knowledge about fishing hamlets and the craze of football in Tamil Nadu, kerala. we can post information about those places, upcoming players, village tournaments etc.
@SiV -- just since you have mentioned Tamil Nadu, Chennai area, I am just curious, if there is Chennai city level age group leagues U13,U15,U18 etc between clubs in Chennai? What is the status of these leagues and how long have been there? Also what about Inter school - level tournaments, do they happen? Chennai should have a very good local league calendar for various age groups, that is the only way to develop young players in formative years. Not sure what kind of efforts TN football association is involved in organizing these kinds of stuff - any thoughts on these?
@kool Tamilnadu Football Association (TFA) is in the hands of thugs (Gokulam kerala alias Viva chennai)... They have not kept elections even after term expiry and AIFF not interested to interfere....
Chennai Football Association (CFA) organises the CFA league with many divisions... Senior divison is generally played in April..... But last year in CFA elections, Rohit Ramesh group won and Gokulam Kerala/Viva Chennai gang lost... Since they control TFA, they did not give permission for CFA to conduct the league in 2019. So , Senior division footballer (semi professionals) playing for indian bank, icf , railways etc do not have a league to play this year..... No age group competitions at state level..... Only RFYS inter college and inter scchool compettiions take place...
Chennayin FC and Chennai City fc, along with some academies participate in the U13, U15 and U18 ileague games...
@Ronny As far as i have heard, he keeps saying that baby leagues have to start and state associations needs to conduct more games.... Everyone knows that.. But as a technical director, he should have asked TFA to conduct elections and permit CFA... He did not do that .... He just keeps visiting JFC and its grassroot festivals, which they will any way conduct even if he is not there.....
Doru has not improved Scouting at junior level either.... No idea what is role of Abhishek yadav as Director of technical operations, national teams does....
He should atleast convince Igor Stimac to take over the arrows and coach them there in ileague.... Stimac can call his favourites Salam Ranjan, Komal, balwant, Hitesh, Dheeraj etc and give them gametime....
