The comments from the senior official of the Indian football federation came.
He said that performance of Mumbai City FC is due to the AIFF and it's policies.
But, he is completely wrong.
AIFF is miles behind the point to be called perfect.
It's the AFC rule of 3+1, which made the whole season different.
Clubs had to change their plans and with more Indian players coming in to the fray, ultimately helped the teams.
Miracle to escape from misery due to the flawed league system!
Yes, Mumbai City FC is lucky to escape from the misery, with only few players of it getting more than 10 matches to play in the league.
Experience was very less for the continental competition. The club was ill equipped from the start, but the management made it possible to perform somehow.
The negative goal difference of -8 should be framed and analysed for understanding the above statement.
It is the sheer brilliance of Fall, Ahmed and Mauricio to combine with the players, guide them with coach's plans.
They sustained and proved themselves.
AIFF did nothing more than implementating the rule due to pressure from multiple corners.
Every other club in the champions league played more than 30-35 games every league season, except Australian clubs.
Like us, Australian clubs could not qualify for the next round, can see the problem easily.
The comparison should be with clubs from the ASEAN countries, who have made it to the next round.
There national teams may be lower in ranking than us but have put in enough to improve, will surely surpass us in coming years.
The 2nd place finish in the group is quite good but should think about making league strong, so teams perform even better.
Bragging like " chacha vidhayak hain hamare" doesn't work anymore.
Because someone else's achievements are not yours .
Flawed comparison between the rankings under the two different coaches.
The ranking is due to brilliant work Constantine did with this team.
Otherwise we could not beat Srilanka last year only.
The work done by the predecessors is claimed by the failed successors.
Our ranking after Constantine is stagnant and we are only at the mercy of other teams and their losses.
With only 4 to 5 wins only in more than 20 competitive matches is miserable stat, only unconsciousness can commend this.
The fear of not qualifying for the Asian Cup is real!
This question would not have been asked if we had done well even in 50 percent of the matches we played.
But the win percentage of 25 percent, against the lower ranked teams depicts the sad story.
The failure of not changing the coaching staff but AIFF extended the contract instead.
I am not blaming the coach here, no body wants to leave easily.
But when there is a soft corner left, the hard brushes will not be effective in cleaning the faults.
5000 for the Man of the Match, in women's league, raises eyebrows
The professional shoes costs more than that.
The lack of spending on the women's football, debacle during women's Asian Cup shows the real picture.
There is alot to work!
The mirage can keep the eyes happy but the throat is dry and without getting anything in real, death is inevitable.
You can quote achievements from the past but they are never the achievements, but are expectations only.
Achievement is long due even in the dreams of many, if somehow your eyes sees the reality, start working for it.
Because not every year there will be a Des to save .....el!
