I-League resumes with a clutch of new signings
Hindustan TimesThe 2021-22 I-League resumes on Thursday but since only six of 114 games were played on two match days in December and Kenkre FC are yet to get on the pitch, this feels almost like a new start. Defending champions Gokulam Kerala’s coach Vincenzo Alberto Annese wasn’t the only one who said teams are better prepared now than last year. “Sometime we did two sessions a day in Hyderabad,” said Sreenidi Deccan FC coach Fernando Varela at a virtual media conference on Wednesday. The Italian accepted that stopping and starting again is difficult for teams “but we changed some players, played friendly games and worked on our psychology.” Gokulam’s target, like most teams, is to qualify for the championship round as one of the top seven teams after a round robin league and, “then win it. The 2pm and 4:30 pm kick-offs can be a problem for teams, said TRAU FC assistant coach Surmani Singh, especially those from Manipur “where it is a lot cooler” but “we will adjust.” TRAU added Brazilians Douglas Santana and Fernandinho in January.
