FOOTBALL IN DETAIL

Yesterday, Bengaluru football club, won the first development league, which was hosted by the Reliance! There were only 7 number of games for the each team!  If we have to improve our players, we have to increase the number of matches!  How we can increase the number of matches? There are different ways !  - Playing them on the same day where ISL senior teams will play. As most of the players do travel with the teams to make up the proper squad, which is of 35 players. Even if take 18 players for the main team, we are left with 17 more players, which can participate in the reserve league. It will cut down the cost of organising, will give another match up for the grabs for the fans. The stadium engagement will grow at the minimal added cost. Clubs will get more players,who are match fit and can use them to better their results. One match around 5 PM and the next 7:30 PM, thus both the reserve teams and the senior teams fighting on the same day! Isn...

The year 2013, became the benchmark for the corporates entering in to the sports setup, especially football in India. As the Jindal group started a new club from Bengalore, named as the Bengaluru football club. The key player and also the first player to be signed by the club was non other than Sunil Chhetri. Club's success and continuous upward trend. 6 trophies in 6 years, remarkable. The draught was countered with the success,not only at the national level but at the International level too. 2016 AFC Cup final, one goal loss was too harsh but the valuable points gained by the club in that tournament and in succession, made possible for us to have a team in the champions league. But, let's keep everything aside and talk about the future model of the club! The academy, age group teams and the best out of the players. This is the real model which most of the clubs have failed to replicate successfully. The academics are irregular and non usef...

The formation 4-3-3 is very much used by Bengaluru FC, which requires a lot of press, fast and aggressive game play to make it a success. But it is not effective as it looks like. Bengaluru Fc struggled to reap good results with this formation against the teams who have a low block or don't play aggressively. Only exception came last night with 3-0 win against Mumbai City Fc ! Reasons for the success. - Mumbai hold ball in their half alot with passing from the defense, it is easy to press and use the space. - Mumbai was missing key players like Ahmad to control the midfield from the defense, so counter the press. - Low confidence of the team and changes by the coach made unsettled 11, which haven't played much together. - Now using long balls as an option effectively by Mumbai to counter the press, whenever they did,it was effective. Reasons why it didn't worked on occasions for Bengaluru ! Non performence of the striking force, Sunil missed the penalty thus giv...
