Indian football fans slam AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey over 'crash course' plan for strikers: 'Is this a school summer vacation?'
AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey's crash course plan for strikers sparked outrage among Indian football fans on X, who accused the federation of trivialising a serious crisis and revealing its lack of direction. read more All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalyan Chaubey's plan to invite a world-class striker to India and give a 'crash course' to Indian strikers in finishing has left the internet users surprised and disappointed. Lack of goals has emerged as Indian football team's biggest problem of late, with head coach Manolo Marquez forced to convince 40-year-old Sunil Chhetri in reversing his international retirement. The Indian football team has scored only 7 goals in the last 15 matches since January 2024. They last scored in March and have failed to find the net in their last three matches, which included defeats to Thailand in a friendly and Hong Kong in an AFC Asian Cup third-round qualifier. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | The poor results have put India in the danger of missing the 2027 AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia, after playing in the last two editions. More from Football AIFF admits India facing massive goal-scoring problem During the , the embattled Chaubey admitted the goal-scoring issue and said that reducing the number of foreign players in domestic leagues could be a solution to help the teams pick more Indian strikers. 'For any sport to grow in popularity, it is essential for the national team to perform well. It's true that our national team has struggled to secure wins against teams such as Malaysia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand and Hong Kong. However, it's unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals,' Chaubey said. 'This clearly highlights the lack of goal-scoring abilities and shortage of effective Indian strikers. A practical, collective decision is urgently required to increase match-time for the Indian strikers. 'But how can this be achieved? This calls for a joint discussion among all the stakeholders, to develop a viable and collective roadmap. One possible measure could be the gradual reduction in the number of foreign players allowed in the domestic league, thereby allowing more space for positive Indian strikers. 'All the stakeholders will have to decide collectively. The AIFF cannot take the decision alone.' Kalyan Chaubey proposes crash course for strikers However, it was the ingenious idea of proposing a crash course for strikers that took the cake. 'We are trying to get a top striker in the world. We will identify 5 or 7 Under-23 strikers and give them a few days' crash course in finishing,' Chaubey said. The AIFF president's bizarre comments left Indian football fans on X furious, as they slammed the federation for downplaying a serious situation and exposing a lack of clear vision. 'Abbe school ka summer vacation camp hai kya? (Is this a school summer vacation?),' a surprised Indian football team fan asked. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Another fan said that the proposed plan is an indication the Indian football is 'truly finished'. One of the Indian football fans said that a crash course in education is a normal thing, but something like this in football would be a first. 'Engineering aur medical coaching ka crash course suna tha but AIFF ke karan striker ka crash course start ho raha hai (Had heard of crash courses for engineering and medical coaching, but thanks to the AIFF, a crash course for strikers is now starting).'

AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey On Indian Strikers' Rule Change In ISL: "Stakeholders..."
All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalyan Chaubey on Friday admitted that the national team has been struggling to win matches of late after it faced backlash following the 0-1 shock loss to Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup qualifying round match. The defeat left India in a precarious position in its bid to qualify for the continental showpiece for the third time in a row. Addressing a press conference here, Chaubey alluded to lack of goals from the Indian strikers, which he said could be one of the reasons for the poor show by the team under Manolo Marquez. He said the stakeholders will discuss on how to increase the number of Indians playing as strikers in domestic clubs. "For any sport to grow in popularity, it is essential for the national team to perform well. It's true that our national team has struggled to secure wins against teams such as Malaysia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand and Hong Kong. However, it's unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals," Chaubey said. "This clearly highlights the lack of goal-scoring abilities and shortage of effective Indian strikers. A practical, collective decision is urgently required to increase match-time for the Indian strikers. "But how can this be achieved, this calls for a joint discussion among all the stakeholders, to develop a viable and collective roadmap. One possible measure could be the gradual reduction in the number of foreign players allowed in the domestic league thereby allowing more space for positive Indian strikers.. The issue of very few Indians playing as strikers in the Indian Super League -- from which most of the national team players are selected -- has been debated and brought to notice by successive coaches and former players. Asked if the restriction in the number of foreigners in the ISL teams can be implemented from the upcoming season, Chaubey, however, said the AIFF cannot force a decision on the stakeholders. "All the stakeholders will have to decided collectively. The AIFF cannot take the decision alone.. Chaubey was also not forthcoming on the speculation that incumbent head coach is on his way out after the 0-1 defeat to Hong Kong. "Manolo is one of the longest serving foreign coaches in Indian football. Over the past six years, he has managed multiple Indian clubs and secured trophies, including the Super Cup and the ISL Cup. "He understands Indian football, including the strength and weakness of the Indian players, as well as the opportunities and challenges within the Indian football ecosystem. He is better compared to others.. On whether Marquez will continue or not, Chaubey said, "We have an executive committee meeting on June 29. We will discuss this matter internally among the committee members and we will also take the opinion of the members of the AIFF Technical Committee also.. A presentation was also made on the winning percentages and number of goals of the national team under Stephen Constantine, Igor Stimac and Marquez. Under Constantine, the goals scored were 1.64 per match and win percentage of 57. The corresponding figures for Stimac is 1.01 and 35. Marquez's stint so far scored the lowest of 0.75 goals per game and win percentage of just 13. According to the presentation, none of the Indian strikers under the three head coaches got regular minutes as centre forward in their clubs. After playing with the clubs, they have to play in different positions while turning up for the national team. "It is very difficult for a player to play 11 months to play in a particular position and three days later while playing for the national team shifted to another position. I think Indian football is lacking there. "We have not generated positive strikers in the last 10 years. We obviously appreciate Sunil Chhetri's effort of being so sincere, dedicated and fit at the age of 40, but as a nation we also need to see the supply of more forwards. Chaubey also re-iterated India's bid to host the 2031 AFC Asian Cup. In April, the AIFF had announced that it has submitted the country's 'Expression of Interest (EoI)' to host the 2031 Asian Cup before the deadline of March 31. . AIFF has contacted OCI player. ======================= Currently, only Indian passport-holders can represent the country, but the sports ministry has recently indicated that it is willing to review a 2008 policy. "We formed a task force on this matter in August 2023 and thereafter we had several meetings. We have contacted 33 OCI players across the world," Chaubey said. "AIFF is aligned with the law of the land, but it is actively involved in securing OCI players. Many countries ranked below India have adopted the policy to allow naturalised citizens. We have discussed how countries like Hong Kong, Indonesia and Bangladesh doing well (because of naturalised players).. Elaborating further, he said, "It's a process, a systematic change is not possible. In 2008, OCI players were barred from playing for India. Our coaches had said what if India allows OCI players to play for the country. The previous regime also tried and they could not do it. Perhaps the situation was different." "I am also trying, taking it forward. But even if there is a list of 300 OCI players, they have to be eligible to play for India. Only then, the role of technical committee come in. "To make matter simple, we have made a list of such players and when we get the OCI card we will give to them and select them by sitting with the head coach." PTI PDS KHS PDS KHS

AIFF chief Kalyan Chaubey accuses Bhaichung Bhutia of running football schools for ‘vested interest'
All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey on Friday accused Bhaichung Bhutia of running 'commercial' academies for his 'vested interest', allegations that were dismissed by the former national team captain as 'baseless'. Chaubey's accusation was in response to Bhutia's call for his resignation as AIFF chief following India's shock loss to Hong Kong in an AFC Asian Cup qualifying round match recently. Bhutia had said that Chaubey has 'destroyed' Indian football. Addressing a press conference three days after India's loss, which has jeopardised the team's chances of qualifying for the continental showpiece, Chaubey launched a scathing attack against the former skipper. 'He runs a commercial football school named after him, 20 of them in various cities. The players in this football schools pay or are charged Rs 1000 to 1 lakh — Rs 1000 monthly, may be Rs 5000, Rs 10,000,' Chaubey said when asked about Bhutia's comments on him after India's 0-1 defeat. Chaubey was referring to the Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools (BBFS), which has several academies across the country. 'It is a completely vested interest, completely commercial. They (academy) are taking undue advantage by playing with the emotion of the families, emotion of the people who are thinking the man has achieved at the highest level of Indian football and if I (child in the academy) can be a part of his academy, I can also make life as a football player,' the AIFF president said. 'His football school lost 0-31 to Minerva Academy in March this year (in U-17 league), lost 1-17 against Sudeva FC Academy, 0-11 to a Bengaluru club, 0-10 Kickstart FC (so where is the result). 'It is not finished here. There are several other academies he is associated as an advisor, consultant and takes Rs 1.5 to 3 crore and those academy MDs have said that he has never turned up.' Bhutia rejected the allegations and said Chaubey has no knowledge of how academies are run and insisted that he had established his football schools by his own 'hard-earned' money. 'He (Chaubey) is a clueless man and he is making baseless allegations. He does not know anything about football academies. I have established my football schools 14 years back from my hard-earned money. There was no financial support from the states, centre as well as corporates,' Bhutia told PTI from Sikkim. 'In the last two years only few sponsors have come to support the children. I have more than 6000 children playing everyday in my schools across the country. The AIFF even can't do this. 'Who is going to pay for the 150 qualified coaches in my schools and the grounds they are using, nobody is supporting me financially. I have to take fees. But I don't know where from he is quoting Rs 10,000 per month per child, we don't charge that much.' Bhutia said Chaubey was giving results of his academy based in Delhi, which is not among the best. 'Our schools in other parts of the country have done very well. We have players who are playing in IWL, Shillong team is in Subroto Cup. By the way, Sandesh Jhingan was brought to United Sikkim formed by me when he was 17, and he is now India captain.' Bhutia also said he is not involved with any other football academy. 'Chaubey is misusing his position as the AIFF president for political gains, to win elections. He is the first AIFF president against whom allegations of corruption are made,' Bhutia added. Chaubey, on his part, said he has faced enough allegations against him from a 'coterie of three or four people'. 'They have either lost election against my team or some of them were part of the AIFF and some are not. Chair (AIFF president) cannot speak below dignity to respond to anyone's allegations,' he said at the press conference that lasted nearly two hours. 'I have been alleged personally, my family has been alleged badly. Since we are living in a social media age, anything and everything can be said and maligned. I only speak with facts and figures.' Chaubey also mentioned that Bhutia took a salary of Rs 1.5 lakh per month after he was appointed advisor by the then AIFF president Praful Patel in 2017. 'He (Bhuitia) was also advisor to AIFF and the president, appointed in March 2017 with a remuneration of professional fee of 1.5 lakh per month and other perks like flight tickets to be provided by the AIFF. 'He must have advised something to the AIFF and we are in a position to evaluate his suggestion, expert advice. He is also currently executive committee member. He was there to challenge the corruption and stop it. 'Everyone has a right to speak and everything is minutised. All the minutes are available.'
