It is known that a strong domestic league makes a strong national team. As the 11th season of the Indian Super League (ISL) just started, a look at the ways the ISL can help make a difference and lift the veil of negativity shrouding Indian football at the moment. Here’s a wish list:
CHHETRI’S REPLACEMENT
India doesn’t have a goal scorer who can replace Sunil Chhetri, who recently retired from international football, and it was yet again evident in the Intercontinental Cup. A cursory look at all participating teams reveals that almost all of them have foreign strikers playing for them.
Unless there are Indians players fulfilling the scoring duties for their teams in the domestic league, how and where would they get opportunities to hone their skills and be ready to represent their country against quality teams in international tournaments.
Former India Coach Igor Stimac highlighted this point when he said, “Teams in the ISL don’t give Indian strikers a chance. As a result, when they come to the national camps, they don’t have the confidence to score. You need to score goals in football to win. You need Indian strikers to come through.”
