Can HAL continue the good work?

Coming from the first win in the season, bottom-placed HAL is all set take on Shillong Lajong FC, who has managed only 2 points from their last 5 rounds.

Post the win, the Aircraftmen looked far more relaxed, which also reflected in their practice session today morning at the match venue. 

Manager M Muralidharan did not reveal much about the game. However, he’ll be missing R C Prakash, out due to double booking.  Also, quite apparent that he is going with the same plan that fetched him three-points. So, that would call for some change in the playing position - left full-back Rohit Chand will go down in the central defense position, defender Biju Kumar will play in the mid-field as a defensive screen, and Deepak Prakash will partner Abdulla Hamza in the forward position.

The North-East representative, Shillong Lajong FC might not have placed in the top-half in I-League, what coach Pradhyum Reddy expects his team to be there. 

The January signings of Aussie Matthew Mayora and Sushil Singh is going to bolster the attack. Lajong, will be missing heavily on midfielder Rennedy Singh, out injured, another player signed on the January transfer window. 

Reddy felt the importance of a Bangalore team in I-league, “Wish HAL stays in I-league, they are a good team, but the result shows otherwise. They played a brilliant game against us in the home match in Manipur, we’re lucky to get 3-points in that game!” 

Shillong Lajong FC coach quips, “We’re here to get 3-points from this match, HAL can win in the rest of the matches!”

Match is slated for tomorrow, February 1, 2012, 3 pm.

I-league Division 2 qualifiers

The only Bangalore connection in I-League other than HAL, BEML, is all set to take part in the qualifiers of I-league Division 2.

The latest is that the public sector team has been rebranded as KGF Academy - keeping aligned with the AFC guidelines, they’ve dropped their company name. Certainly a positive step in long run and KGF Academy is the first public sector enterprise to achieve this feat.

KGF Academy (erstwhile BEML) had a disappointing outing in the local league last season. They came in 6^th position in a 12-team Super Division League. However, since then, the team is under the tutelage of former star striker, Raman Vijayan. The AFC coaching license B holder, Raman, is trying to build this new team with the promising players. He has retained only 6 players from last season.

KGF academy is placed in Group C along with Mohammedan Sporting, Vasco, Golden Threads, Luangmual FC, Simla Youngs, Langsing FC, and PIFA Colaba.

All the matches in the group leg will be played in Delhi.

The top two teams from each group will qualify for the final round. The final round will be played in one of the two venues – Siliguri and Gangtok. After relegating from I-League Division 1, ONGC have been directly seeded into the final round.

• Round 1: Wednesday, February 1, 2012 KGF Academy 1 (Stephen–36') Vs Mohammedan Sporting, Kolkata 4 (Stanley Cyprian–30', Sankar Sil–34', Surabuddin Mullick–54', Alfred K Jaryan–57')
  
• Round 2: Saturday, February 4, 2012 KGF Academy 0 Vs Simla Youngs, New Delhi 1 (89'-Junya Kato)
• Round 3: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 KGF Academy 0 Vs Vasco, Goa 3 (Andrew Igago 14', Gerose Oliveria 31', Esha Alihah 77')
• Round 4: Friday, February 10, 2012 KGF Academy 0 Vs Langsing Sports Club, Meghalaya 1 (Yinka Joel Sunday-22')
• Round 5: Monday, February 13, 2012 KGF Academy 4 (Stephen-3', Emmanuel Okoko-6', 55', Murugappan-67') Vs Golden Threads, Kerala 2 (Arun KJ-59', Jimmy Abraham-89')
  
• Round 6: Thursday, February 16, 2012 KGF Academy 3 (Emmanuel Okoko-39', Amoes-41', Monday Ugboji-81') Vs PIFA Colaba, Mumbai 1 (Nagesha Swamy-44')
  
• Round 7: Sunday, February 19, 2012 KGF Academy 7 (Emmanuel Okoro-8', 23', 26', 43', 45', 47', 67') Vs Luangmual, Mizoram 1 (H Lalthangliana-10')

Help - looking for an Indian striker

That Alexander Sudovich is gone, just like a goner, HAL has a vacant spot. 

Neither HAL has utilized much of his service, nor could Alexander display much when he was seen for few minutes at the Ban galore Football Stadium. Creating much embarrassment, the highest paid player of Aircraftmen was barely seen playing. 

Shame on the team management! 

The latest however is that the Serbian has been released from the team. That does not mean that HAL will get a replacement of Sudovich in a foreigner (and one doubt team management would be really interested to get one).

The replacement was only possible on medical ground, that too after medically checked by an AIFF appointed doctor. Sudovich was out sick last month due to chicken pox. 

HAL is desperately looking for an Indian striker will pair (or interchange) excessively used Hamza!

A point from Kolkata

HAL held Prayag United to a goalless draw at the Yuba Bharati Krinangan today evening. In a match that lacked any bite only HAL missed a couple of scoring opportunities in Malemn and Vinoth Kumar. 

For Prayag, Josimar Da Silva Martins and Yusif Yakubu came close both once each in the first half, but failed to provide any breakthrough in the second half as both teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Only a point in an away match, but HAL can take lot of positives from today’s match. HAL will go home the happier of the two sides. Prayag United Coach Sanjoy Sen, will be disappointed that his team could not capitalize on an easier opponent at home. 

The draw means HAL picked up only their 3rd draw of the current I-League campaign to take them to 3 points from 14 matches and they remain at the rock bottom on the table. Prayag United SC have 22 points from 14 matches.

Denson Devdas of Prayag United was adjudged man of the match.

A point after 10 rounds, finally!

11th placed Sporting Clube de Goa played a 2-2 draw against bottom placed HAL at the final round of the first leg of I-league.

Is it the different home color in classic diagonal white line or the return of Rohit Chand that helped HAL to collect a point in Round 13 and that came only after a draw they played against Pailan Arrows in Round 3.

In all fairness folks, I’ve have stopped counting all the footballing reasons for HAL’s losses! For sure they played the 2nd half first, and I see that to be a good reason for this result.

As a matter of continuity, striker Hamza carried on his form, my match note says:

• 19’ good cross from Vinoth from the right flank for Hamza, the later attempts a meek backhead.
• 31’ Unbelievable miss by Hamza! From left flank, Malemn backheals to Rohit, cuts through the penalty box, and sets up an excellent cross. Hamza's header goes out.
• 40’ Hamza is all alone inside the penalty box, fumbles bigtime, he had no clue whatsoever. 

I’ve few more on my note, but hey, football is not about an individual player.

Young medio Anthony D’Souza gave a lead to the Flaming Oranje in the 33rd minute of the match. RC Prakash quickly restored parity for the host from a defensive lapse in 38th minute.

HAL made several forays from the flanks, however, the strikers could not take the aerial advantage, they could not convert to goal from the deft crosses. 

After changing ends, HAL looked more determined, they took the lead in the 50th minute from a beautiful 25-yard long range from Gautam Debnath. 

Accurate long ranger from Gautam Debnath

53rd minute and It was again the talented Anthony D’Souza who leveled for the Goan team. Antony was given enough free space by HAL defense, he nicely dribbled past a couple of defenders, and  scored a brace for his club.

Sporting coach Ekendra Singh appeared unhappy due to the match result, he thought his team deserved to win this match. 

Anthony D’Souza was declared the man of the match.

Can HAL overturn the second-half script?

The script has been always perfect for the Aircraftmen till the first half - they put up a brilliant show, and dominate proceedings. Come second half, they concede an early goal, and everything goes haywire. From the close quarters, it is nothing but a known chronic illness! 

The start was ideal for the Flaming Oranje after getting promoted to the top tier of I-League – unbeaten till Round 6. Then came the sudden slump – one point from the next 6 outings. The 12th round, a 5-goal humiliation in the hands of Dempo SC! 

Sporting Clube de Goa (SCG) would definitely like to turn the table on, and why not as they have an ideal opponent in HAL, who could only manage a draw in 12 rounds played so far. 

Rohit Chand, the star performer of last season, makes a comeback for HAL. He will be filling the Asian player quota that was left vacant till now. Rohit’s return would definitely bolster HAL defense, which has been conceded a walloping 33-goals so far. Another defender, Nigerian Femi Joseph Adeola looks to be doubtful starter for tomorrow’s campaign. He has been injured and kept out for last few matches.

HAL manager Muralidharan seems to be aware of his opponents descend. In his cautious approach, he too is looking for a win, “We’ve to get it straight this time, we will be playing in 4-4-2 combination.”

SCG coach, Soibam Ekendra Singh feels his team has been weakened with the absence of key players Rojen Singh and Bisheshwor Singh. Also, several of his available players are not fully fit or on recovery mode. Bangalore connection and TFA product Niroshan Mani will be in contention against HAL.

Singh quips, “We’ll start with 4-4-2 combination and then might change the game plan according to the situation. It would be a difficult task for us alright!” 

Match is slated for tomorrow, January 4, 2012, 3 pm.
