KOLKATA:- Are the boys of Delhi FC ready to roar in the I- league? Whose intervention is behind the deterioration of Indian football? The Indian Football Federation is not qualified to manage the national team! Can East Bengal and their fans rest assured about Anwar after FIFA’s new rules eased?
For the last three months, Anwar Ali has been in the hot field. Mohun Bagan or East Bengal, which club Anwar ali will go to, he signed an advance agreement with East Bengal. And from then on, the obstacles begin. He is now the new defender of the red and yellow army. The name of Ranjit Bajaj, who is close to Anwar Ali and the leader of Delhi FC, was spreading in Kolkata on all these issues. Apart from this, the I-League, one of the most important football competitions in Indian football, has started in November, and Ranjit Bajaj’s team Delhi FC is all set to put in an eye-catching performance there.
Ranjit Bajaj, a well known name in Indian Football, caught up today with us for an Exclusive interview with “ Sportslight Media” regarding the Delhi FC and Indian Football Condition.
The discussion primarily revolves around the upcoming I-LEAGUE season, team strategies, and the development of Indian football. Bajaj expresses confidence in his team’s ability to win the league, highlighting their young squad as a strength. He discusses the role of experienced players like Harmanjot Khabra in coaching and leadership positions. Bajaj also mentions the return of Danilo to the team, emphasizing his value as both a defender and an attacking asset. The conversation touches on the early stages of the league season and the difficulty in identifying title contenders at this point. Bajaj criticizes the current leadership of AIFF (All India Football Federation), suggesting they lack knowledge or willingness to help Indian football. The interview provides insights into the team’s aspirations, player dynamics, and Bajaj’s views on the state of football administration in India.
1. Expectations for I-LEAGUE and team assessment
Answer:- See we always go for winning not only every match but the league so if we actually thought we couldn’t win the league we would not be participating so there is no other way other than going for title and the strengths and weaknesses from what I saw from last year is that we have much much younger squad and that means that we have a right mix of experience and youth or as the time goes by and this team gets used to each other it’ll be very tough team to compete against.
2. Role of Harmanjot Singh Khabra such an experienced player as Asst. Coach?
Answer:- He is my main captain and player and then he threw a bombshell at me that I want to be the next pet Guardiola. So we are very happy to be not only nurturing him, making sure that he becomes one of the best Indian future coaches and one day maybe even coach India. Because why not we need Indians to be the head coaches of ISL teams, of the Indian national team, especially when we have such great players who have got into this. And other than that, we have always had players who have been good coaches. So we should learn from ourselves and give opportunities to Indians.
3. Return of Danilo Quipappa to the team
Answer:- See, I’ve been trying to get Danilo back since he’s left, but then once he did so well with us, we could not afford him. And after a very long time, I’ve been able to get it back
because this time he’s come back for me and for Delhi FC and not for the money. So I’m very, very happy that Danilo is back because it adds not only a good defender but even somebody who’s very good in attacking set pieces, somebody who’s very good in scoring goals and making goals also for us.
4. Criticism of AIFF leadership
Bajaj criticizes the current leadership of AIFF (likely referring to the All India Football Federation), suggesting they lack knowledge about football or are intentionally not supporting Indian football. He emphasizes the need to give new leadership a chance but also stresses the importance of not allowing prolonged ineffectiveness. India’s Low International Football Ranking The speaker points out that India’s football ranking is lower than all African countries and most Asian countries, indicating a decline in the nation’s football performance. This observation is used to further criticize the Federation’s decision-making and management of Indian football
5. Skepticism about Vision 2047
Answer:- The unknown speaker expresses doubt about the Vision 2047 plan for Indian football. They argue that the vision lacks quantifiable goals and accountability, which are essential for its success. The speaker emphasizes the need for specific, time-bound objectives at various levels of youth football to achieve any long-term vision. And Indian football is the vision 2047? What do you think? Vision 2047 is the only thing that can never come true. It’s the vision. Why? Because with a vision, you have to have quantifiable goals. Accountability is the vision.
6. FIFA ruling’s impact on player eligibility ft:- Anwar Ali
Answer:- FIFA ruling has prohibited all federations from taking action on cases of just or unjust termination. This ruling directly affects a player named Anwar, allowing him to play for Bengal without any problems for the next 2-3 months. The speaker emphasizes that this situation provides temporary relief for Anwar’s playing status. things were not valid, they could not do anything. But with the FIFA ruling which has come, it has prohibited all federations to take action in any case regarding just or unjust termination. So I would say for the next 2-3 months, there is no problem at all for Anwar to be able to play for his Bengal. And when that happens, then we will start the whole proceeding again. Why? Because rules change again.
After the brief discussion pulled up many things about the Indian Football And Anwar ali transfer future.
