THE INDIA TODAY Group’s Safaigiri initiative has got a boost with the Delhi Dynamos FC team of the Indian Super League joining the movement. The football superstars from Delhi Dynamos, including legends like Florent Malouda and John Arne Riise, have got their kicks together for ground activations.
EFFORTS ARE ON to save the endangered species that are the Delhi Dynamos fans. But ensuring their survival and thriving will not be easy without significant effort from the ISL franchise at the center of their culture.
DELHI DYNAMOS COACH Roberto Carlos is a young coach with only two seasons' worth of experience. What he will find in ISL is a tournament very different from any football league. The experience will sharpen him as a coach.
INDIAN SUPER LEAGUE (ISL) franchise Delhi Dynamos on Monday entered into an agreement with BRICS Football Cup tournament organisers to be its sixth football team partner.
IN A LOGIC DEFYING DECISION, AIFF has decided to cancel Team India's preparatory camp ahead of their upcoming World Cup Qualifier match. To add to that, Chennaiyin FC manager Materazzi said he may not release players for the national team. Indian football has reached a juncture where ISL gets preference over the national team itself.
TOP PLAYERS AND MANAGERS in the glitzy Indian Super League (ISL) believe the tournament's duration should be extended to really reap its benefits. ISL stretches for around three months and the likes of Brazilian legend Zico, who manages the FC Goa franchise feels Indian players are getting to learn very little in such a short time.
FORMER LIVERPOOL STAR and Delhi Dynamos player John Arne Riise believes that Indian players have to be more tough and not be shy in order to do well at the international level. Riise, who scored 21 goals in 234 appearances for Liverpool in a span of eight years, also praised Indian players, terming them a talented bunch.
DELHI DYNAMOS HAVE ADDED and retained some dynamic Indian players to their squad alongside the top foreign players and manager for the second season.
BE IT DEFENDING CHAMPION Atletico de Kolkata or North East United FC who finished at the bottom of the table last summer, every franchise has had "impressive" pre-tournament training and are raring to play in the second edition of the Indian Super League (ISL).
INDIAN FOOTBALL LEGEND S.S. Hakeem believes the I-League and ISL are not capable of developing and taking the sport forward in the country. He added that the talent pool is too less today because of the lack of tournaments for players. And with such a small pool, India cannot be expected to produce a world class team.
