Manolo Marquez future uncertain
Manolo Marquez
PANAJI:
Manolo Marquez
will take charge of the national team for the
2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifier
against Hong Kong in June but questions are being raised about the head coach's future with the national team.
Manolo took over the national team in a rare club-andcountry role last year. 'Manolo has found it challenging to fully settle into the international role,' a source told TOI on Monday.
'There are too many disruptions, from last-minute changes in plans to difficulty of building continuity with players who return to club duty. There are issues off-thefield too. 'All this has made the international job feel more fragmented than fulfilling.'

Siddharth Sunil's journey: From Asian Games miss to Asian champ
Siddharth Sunil CHENNAI: Following his decision to step away from rowing in 2018 after missing out on selection for the Asian Games, Tamil Nadu's Siddharth Sunil has made an impressive return. Siddharth decided to pursue the sport once again in 2023 and, fuelled by his unwavering passion, recently won gold in men's individual 2000m (30-39 age category) at the Asian Indoor Championships in Thailand. Siddharth clocked 6:25.10 to become the Asian champion. 'I picked up the sport again while doing my Masters in applied strength and conditioning in the UK. The country is one of the best for rowing and the standard is very high compared to India. When I returned to India, I carried a lot of things that I learnt there and it helped me,' Siddharth told TOI . 'When I decided to row again, my objective was not to make a comeback to the national team; rather, it was purely for the love of the sport. I found that my timings were good, and I was performing better than when I was doing it seriously.' While athletes usually have to hire a strength and conditioning coach to look after them, Siddharth does not need one to go elsewhere. Being a strength and conditioning coach himself, Siddharth, the rower, has transformed into a better version. He trains athletes from various disciplines, including multiple time Asian Games medallist in squash, Harinder Pal Sandhu. 'It is a game changer for me (Siddharth). I wish I had this when I was younger and training seriously. I feel it would have made all the difference. I am able to optimise my own training programme now, and I am still learning.' Siddharth's focus for now is to get better in Indoors and will look to have a go at the outdoors next season provided everything falls into place.

Blue Tigers take lessons from Thailand result, set sights on Hong Kong
Pathum Thani [Thailand] June 6 (ANI): India's 0-2 loss against Thailand was somewhat of a bitter pill to swallow for the Blue Tigers at the Thammasat Stadium on Wednesday. The show, however, must go on. Regardless of the result against Thailand, the Blue Tigers now shift their focus to the task at hand in their AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 Final Round Qualifier against Hong Kong, China, on June 10, according to the AIFF website. The senior India men's national team, who had travelled to Thailand with a 28-member squad, will now shift base to Hong Kong five days prior to their Asian qualifier with a 25-man squad, sans goalkeeper Hrithik Tiwari, centre-back Mehtab Singh, and full-back Subhasish Bose, who will travel back to India directly from Thailand. Bose was ruled out of the match against Thailand as well due to an injury. Looking back at the match against Thailand, India head coach Manolo Marquez stressed the importance of capitalising on the opportunities that the team creates. 'The reality is that when you don't score, especially the clear chances that we had, usually you lose the game,' said Marquez. 'Thailand have very good players, and if you don't take your chances against them, it will be difficult.' Five days to go for their Asian qualifier against Hong Kong, Marquez is now looking ahead to making last-minute adjustments before the Blue Tigers take the field. 'You can always perform better than you did previously. There is no improvement without self-criticism. I feel that we can obviously play better, but physicality is one aspect that we miss out on in Indian football. 'It was very similar in our match against Vietnam (1-1) last year. We had equalised because we scored from the chance that we got,' he said. 'We had more chances against Thailand, but if you don't score, the other team generally tend to score more than you.' Sandesh Jhingan, who captained the team against Thailand, echoed the coach's words and underlined the importance of introspection and analysing the areas of deficit. 'There were negatives, and it's now up to us to go back to the video room, watch the clips, and try to improve from there. The main game is against Hong Kong, and I think it's good that we got to play a quality team like Thailand before that. This game was a good exercise for us,' said Jhingan. The Blue Tigers will reached Hong Kong on Thursday, June 5, in the evening, and will begin training on Friday. (ANI)

‘We tried to help, but police told us to go back': Workers on tragic Bengaluru stampede
Eleven people lost their lives on Wednesday evening outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium , as a celebration for Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory turned into chaos. Over 3 lakh fans swarmed the area for a glimpse of their cricketing heroes. With barricades broken and people forcing entry from every direction, emergency services were crippled. Footwear littered the ground — from fancy sandals to a child's tiny slippers. Some were stained with dried blood. A cleaning crew collected 150 garbage bags worth of items, offering a grim picture of what had happened the night before, as reported by TOI. 'What if it were my child?' The human cost became clear the next morning. Rupa, 25, who was cleaning near Gate No. 7 — one of the worst-hit areas — said: 'We found just about every kind of shoe — expensive ones, glittering women's chappals and even a five-year-old's slippers. What's the point of being rich or well-dressed if you end up getting crushed to death in a crowd? All I could think of was the agony the victims must have gone through.' Subuli, 40, a mother of two, said: 'When we came in the morning, it was like a war zone. I came across a small child's slippers, and all I could think was, 'what if it were my child?' How would I feel if I were in that situation?' Live Events The physical damage — broken doors, smashed staircases, damaged fencing — may be repaired. But the memories for those who witnessed the carnage will remain. Broken barricades, broken systems From the compound walls to nearby Cubbon Park, signs of desperation were everywhere. People had climbed fences and trees, torn their clothes on barbed wire, and trampled the park's greenery. Torn shirts, lost caps, broken glasses — all scattered. Shashi S, a stadium staffer for 18 years, recalled the panic: 'We were here yesterday but were asked to serve guests inside. Around 4.45pm, the crowd outside began to grow. It was terrifying. We were scared since people were barging in any which way.' Security personnel, overwhelmed and outnumbered, could only watch as order broke down. 'We saw people falling, limping, screaming in pain,' said a security guard, as reported by TOI. 'All my life, I'll probably carry the guilt of not doing enough to help them.' Emergency services delayed Doctors and medical staff confirmed delays and confusion. As reported by TOI, Dr Humera at Vydehi Super Speciality Hospital said, 'The first injured arrived at 3.45pm, followed by others at 4.10pm, 4.45pm, and 5.30pm. Unfortunately, all those brought in during that time were declared dead on arrival.' Her hospital received seven patients — four were already dead, and two were under treatment. One person was treated as an outpatient. A nurse at Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital said, 'Six of the deceased were brought dead. Of the remaining, 10 have been discharged, and four are still being treated.' Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, who visited the injured at Bowring, said: 'I was really pained after hearing from a deceased's mother. The state government stands with the victims and will ensure proper medical care for the injured.' Medical booth overrun Even the medics weren't spared. Ambulances positioned in advance struggled to move amid the choking crowd. At a booth outside Gate No. 10, staff attempted to bring in stretchers. But the crowd turned on them. A medical worker said: 'When we were taking the stretchers in, some 20 people used that as a ploy, grabbed one of the stretchers and tried to barge into the stadium. They delayed us from reaching the injured.' Jagannath B R, a hotel employee, described a similar scene: 'Many, including police, called ambulances from different hospitals, but the large crowd outside gates affected movement of ambulances.' The Karnataka High Court noted that only two ambulances had been officially deployed for an event that drew lakhs. Judges observed that timely CPR could have saved lives. 'We were told to go back inside' Some workers who tried to help were pushed away. Begum (name changed), a 22-year-old cleaning staffer, said: 'I tried to step out and was shocked to see a woman lying dead right there. Police told us to go back inside. We had no choice. Not being able to do anything was heartbreaking.' Abhigayle (name changed), 18, said: 'It was heartbreaking seeing so many young fans in distress. The victims' families were crying and carrying their loved ones from the main gate. I didn't sleep until early morning after seeing all that.' Fans speak: 'It was heartless' Eyewitnesses painted a chilling picture of crowd frenzy. Niranjan Gowda, a software engineer, said, 'There was absolutely no crowd control. People were just pouring in without even showing passes. The barricades had been trampled, people were climbing onto trees, and the area was littered with abandoned footwear.' He saw a police officer try to save two people gasping for air. But around them, no one helped. 'Everyone was fixated on getting inside and recording videos. It was heartless.' The M Chinnaswamy Stadium, normally a site of celebration and unity, has now become a symbol of tragedy. Behind the red and gold of RCB's success lies the story of lives lost, warnings unheeded, and systems that cracked under pressure. The aftermath is not just broken glass and torn fences. It's in the eyes of those who saw it all and can't forget.
