Bad news......Manohari will be out for 1 month.

Yes it's bad thing because he will miss from Asian Cup. Although Manohari is only striker No. 3, but it is always good to have a striker on the bench.

Could anyone continue to train Vijay Mehul for pace? He is on transfer list.
I'm training striker right now so must to sell Mehul.

Perfect for my club but the timing doesn't suit me. Will still try to buy him

Kautuk is on the job

The Asian Cup starts this week. There were some difficulties with the organization, but luckily we found out about the draw just in time. Our first opponent is U.A.E. will be, we have to win this match. I expect a big fight, but we have a better team right now.

There have been several joyful events this week related to player training. Several of our important players have jumped up skill. Mehul pace (this was expected, I already got 3 trainings), Lavanya pace, Najeeb technique, Rantidev pace, and perhaps most importantly right now, Satwant’s striker move came right after the transfer. Kabra has also jumped in pace, he is currently still the player of the future.

I’m still waiting for another training report on Bonanza players. Update: Varati +1 technique :)

Tomorrow’s team has ready to start. Which is still a concern that I’m forced to change more key players in the second half because of the stamina. And for some players, the form has dropped, which is a problem for Satwan and Varati. But I am confident that we will win tomorrow.

Good

Yes, they might give a good fight as they are coming off against a win against higher ranked North Macedonia. We need to win this as the other 2 teams in the group are no pushovers. Indonesia in fact is the title contender for this competition and have consistently reached atleast till the semis in all the previous editions. But it's always good to start against a weaker team and get some points on the board.

We have won first match (India-U.A.E. 1-0) but I think next week will play against a stronger opponent than us. Nippon average mark in last some weeks was better than us. Although Nippon average mark better we will fight for the next 3 ponts.

So we've started well, Satwant proving himself again by getting us that early goal. Honestly, we could've one or two more with the chances that we got but we won it so it doesn't matter as much. In the 42nd minute, they unleashed a good shot but fortunately Lavanya rose up to the occasion. Najeeb and Suresh had a bad game today but it happens.

In the other game, it was a draw between Japan and Indonesia. Both teams had plenty of chances, Japan had slightly better chances but it was a fair result. Indonesian defenders play a little ahead and the Japanese forwards found spaces to exploit a few open spaces. Japanese forwards are also very fast so we need to be wary of them, they looked very threatening.

Our U21 goalkeeper next season Meyappan skills at the moment are the following:

Sarabjith Meyappan, age: 20
club: Trust Bouwwerken, country: India

adequate [6] stamina formidable [11] keeper
excellent [10] pace average [5] defender
adequate [6] technique weak [4] playmaker
excellent [10] passing poor [3] striker

His owner promised me (again) he will train Meyappan for keeper skills from now.

The best Japanese striker's skills:

Soichiro Kurihara, kor: 21
klub: `Piast Gliwice`, ország: Nippon

nagyon jó [9] erőnlét tragikus [0] védés
isteni [17] gyorsaság gyenge [4] védekezés
kiváló [12] technika nagyon jó [9] irányítás
átlagos [5] átadás briliáns [14] gólszerzés

OMG :) I will very proud if we will stop him tomorrow.

Yeah he was very very quick in the game against Indonesia. Our strikers are actually the weakest in this group, even one of the UAE striker is better than our best striker.
It's going to be an uphill task tomorrow...I fancy our chances more against Indonesia than Japan.

The day of the match against Japan has come. As he showed in the post copied yesterday, the Japanese will play an extra-capable striker (he would even fit into the Hungarian U21). In the line-up, I put up the defensive line with Yashodhan, who is in faster and better form, in the middle - he will be replaced by Chiba in the 2nd half (this change is necessary due to his stamina).

What can be a problem is the low form of Lavanya and Satwant. Yet both players have a key role to play in today’s match. I hope we manage to get the extra-capable Japanese striker out of the game, and in an attack we can still score, even through Satwan.

This time, a somewhat unusual report follows. I write 4 times that were in the match: 38th, 55th, 86th, 89th minutes. In the 38th minute, Shilpa faced the goalkeeper in a 1 vs 1 situation and later Satwant in the next 3 times. All 4 of our huge positions were missed - 1 vs. 1 situations.

And Japan ... oh yeah, before their first goal, the ball bounced from one of our defenders in front of their great striker, so he had place and time, of course he didn't make a mistake. Like the next huge position and shot into Kurihara (thanks to the match engine, thank you very much !!!). What else did Japan need? Even a free kick has scored and such an event is very rare in sokker. Of course, the fact that Lavanya is in very, very weak form also played a role here. And yes, Satwant’s 3 missed chances is also due to the fact that he is also in very weak form. Who knows what the match engine would have given if these 2 of our players were in at least medium (e.g. formadible) form? We never know.

It was very annoying this match today, but unfortunately there are sometimes some of them in sokker when the match engine makes an unrealistic difference: one succeeds in everything, the other in nothing. I am sorry, I hope, I can still count on your support.
