Peerless are back on the top

  September 27, 2019    

Calcutta Football League (CFL) has entered into its end charm and the league becoming interesting day after day. Peerless are on top of the league table with 20 points in 10 games, while East Bengal are holding the second place with the same points, but the goal aggregate makes the difference.

Today Peerless knocked out Rainbow by 1-0. This result decided the fate for the two teams, Peerless are moved to the top of the league table and Rainbow Fc relegated from the CFL.
Peerless came with the determination to the match and the result shown in their game. they started their game on a high attacking note. On the 3rd minute of the game Avinobo's pass created a chance for Peerless but Kromah missed the chance.
In front of the high attacking of Peerless, Rainbow Fc's feeble defence was been routed. On the 12th minute of the game, Dipendu calmly guided the ball into the net which became the decider for the match.
Instead of going to full defence Peerless choose to take more leads and their two goalbound shot on the 16th and 60th minute was been denied by the post.
Although Rainbow Fc got many chances for equalising the game, their fate was sealed.
Peerless will face George Telegraph on their final game on Monday, which will be the league decider.

Rangers are counted among the oldest clubs of Europe. Which was founded long back in 1872, they have won the Scottish Cup 33 times and Scottish League 54 times. Long back in 1972, they won European Cup one and only European trophy.
The Rangers FC are challenging for the Scottish Premiership title with their manager English international and Liverpool ledged Steven Gerrard. In Gerrard's first-ever managerial terms, they finished their championship run second last season.
As per the sources of Khel Now, BFC and Rangers are heading for a technical partnership, which will help the Youth Development. This deal will also help the scouting and exchanging players for both sides.
As similar as the ISL side Jamshedpur FC linked with the Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, BFC also linked with the European side where they can undergo the pre-season. I-league side Minerva Punjab also linked with the German giants Borussia Monchengladbach for developing the youths.

We must focus on ourselves and the rest will take care of itself." Dipendu Biswas told the media.
Biswas also thinks they are not afraid of the Kolkata giants East Bengal." East Bengal is a formidable side. They play a very good brand of football and they are quick. It's going to be a nice match because they are also highly technical. I have nothing but respect for them.

Bengaluru FC plot move to Ahmedabad or Pune due to stadium dispute

  September 15, 2019    

Indian Super League team Bengaluru FC will have to move their squad from the southern city only if they do not play at Sri Contrava Stadium next season.
The venue has been the home ground of the Blues for 25 years. However, protests again took place in 27 because track and field athletes trained there because of the field activities of the JSW Group-owned organization. The Karnataka High Court was soon summoned and they ordered an inquiry into which the Blues were allowed to use the place. The investigation deadline falls in mid-October.
The owners of Bengaluru are optimistic about getting favorable judgment which will help them to stay in Kantiraba. But with the new season fast approaching, any venue registration deadline will see them move out of town.

"We have to look at alternatives and two of them are mentioned in Pune and Ahmedabad," the Bengaluru FC chief executive told the scandal in the recession.
"However, we cannot make a decision until we know what is going on (with Kantirava Stadium). We want to be here and we are optimistic. We are waiting for the official confirmation on the issue, as we cannot do much if we do not hear anything. "
However, Bengaluru FC currently have limited options, considering the club's AFC Cup commitments and the licensing criteria that they must follow. Therefore, the Blues will have to go to Ahmedabad or Pune for the upcoming promotion.
"We have to play in the AFC Cup. So, with this in mind, the only two options are Pune and Ahmedabad, as these two criteria only meet the two stadiums. Orissa was one, but since Delhi is moving there, it is no longer an option, ”said Tamahane.
The Blues are in a tight position with the AFC's September 7 deadline for stadium registration. Changes are also possible in January, but with the ISL season even beginning in October, clubs have very little time to get things rolling.
The concept club will be in a position to make a decision by September 21 for those in Tamanna who are working hard to resolve these issues.

The Indian skipper is not happy with the performance he said:" It's difficult to swallow. I think we didn't keep the ball in the second half. It's not easy if we keep giving the ball to a team like Oman. That's something we need to work on. It wasn't easy but after the first goal, we probably held the ball better. It was a good chance of playing at home 1- at 70 minutes.     
" The coach will tell how to work on the mistakes. It will be the most difficult match of the group (away to Qatar next week ). As a team, we need to go and give whatever we have. we need to keep fighting and not make the small mistakes which cost us the point." Sunil Chhetri told after the match.

One silly mistake in the distance and it became two mistakes. we were punished. so late in the game to lose the points which could have given us points to fight for the second place.
"They(Oman) were a little bit lucky. My guys have everything. We didn't have many options. We knew we will have problems after 70 minutes with Ashique's condition, who came after a long injury. So we will lose shape in the balance. We couldn't take out five and put another five."  Stimac said after the match.
Oman coach Erwin Koeman was very happy after the match he said:" India was very good in the first half I was disappointed with our level with many mistakes. They deserve the win at that moment. But we were better in the second half, we had better possession. We got some big chances. We did substitute because players were tired like the Indian players. We made two fantastic goals."

Know your opponent Oman

  September 03, 2019    

Oman waited for the right to form a football association until the end of 2005, though the country has been officially playing football since 1979, and the squad was formed earlier. However, the Oman Football Association has been a result of their quality and consequently a weather surge. Its image-perfect imagery can be found in the old golf cup tournament that the nation has been playing since 1974.
INDIA VS OMAN 

 Oman, like India, was never able to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals, but they were brilliant in front of goals in qualification. So far they have played five goals in the WC WC selection, which India should beware of. However, not all of their Firepower top coaches won the World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup.
The Oman team can be characterized as the perfect blend of youthful experience and experience, and like Co-Man al-Mussalami can achieve a huge luxury back then, and Al-Mukhinai still continues their trade. Both of them have exactly 5 caps and negotiate well with the pre-offensive philosophy. They are further supported by al-Balushi and al-Busaidi, who have played for the national team more than six times.
The midfield would be the biggest strength for Coman and Oman with the names on the paper. Al-Mahizri ij ​​will be India's biggest threat and one of the best defenders in the center of the park, with 199 international caps in his name, and the midfielder scored 20 goals for his country. The likes of Saleh (1 cap) and Al-Khalidi provide the perfect cushion for the traveler. Al-Hajri is relatively inexperienced and a freshman, but has scored eight goals in 25 matches.
