Meghalaya Govt. must help Lajong : Bhaichung Bhutia Top
GUWAHATI, Dec 28: Indian Captain Bhaichung Bhutia has praised Shillong Lajong FC for their performance in the 31st Federation Cup Soccer Tournament and said that the club is gradually becoming a force to reckon with. At the same time he also requested Meghalaya Government to support the club as he felt that their rise will help uplift the standard of football in Meghalaya as well as the entire region. Bhutia arrived in the city with East Bengal Club to play the second semifinal of Federation Cup against their arch rivals Mohun Bagan at the Nehru Stadium on Thursday. He also made a brief visit at the Nehru Stadium this afternoon with his teammates and coach Phillipe De Ridder to see the turf. Talking to the mediapersons just after inspection of the ground, Bhaichung today highly praised the performance of Stanley Rozario's team. Replying to a query the ace striker said, "Lajong is a good outfit and they are really playing well. But I think the side could easily raise their standard of game higher if they got some supports from outside and I think in this case Meghalaya Government should come forward." Justifying his suggestion to provide help to Lajong, Bhutia said, "A side needed a few basic things to upgrade their skill and one of them is a good ground. But the ground where Lajong team practise at Shillong is not in a good shape and if Meghalaya Government could take initiative and renovate the ground then it would definitely help a lot to Lajong." It may be mentioned here that Bhaichung Bhutia returned to football after recovering an injury and he played his first match against JCT at Silchar yesterday where the star striker scored a goal. His team's next rival is Mohun Bagan and the game will be held on Thursday evening. Bhutia sent a caution note to his opponent saying that East Bengal are not a side to beat easily. "We know Baretto and Chiddi, two forwards of Mohun Bagan, are in good form but we are too performing well. We even won the last game playing ten men against JCT. So I feel there is a nice contest on the card on Thursday and the crowd of Guwahati would witness a very good game." For record, it would be Bhaichung's first game against Mohun Bagan after he returned to East Bengal this season. Meanwhile, the performance of East Bengal team is not up to the mark this season and the side even suffered a 3-5 defeat against the Mariners in an I-League match. Bhutia admitted that their team was in a bad phase, however, it would not last long. "We are confident that we will play good soccer here and would be able to lift the trophy." THE SENTINEL
