ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Will NorthEast challenge for mid-table positions?

NorthEast United have spent a relatively long time in the competition. But despite reaching the playoffs on a few occasions, success continues to allude them. The Highlanders will be hoping their efforts come good this time after a below-par season last time around.

So can NEUFC break the shackles to be an outsider for the playoffs? We take a look:

TRANSFERS

NorthEast United have signed up Mohun Bagan right back Ashutosh Mehta and Dylan Fox from A-league club Central Coast to reinforce their defensive depth. They have also added Idrissa Sylla to their ranks, who is known to be a lethal striker.

The club, however, let go of Redeem Tlang and Milan Singh to stronger rivals Goa and East Bengal respectively. Releasing Martin Chaves might not be a sensible move either, considering his talent and experience.

SQUAD LIST

GOALKEEPERS

  • Gurmeet
  • Nikhil Deka
  • Sanjiban Ghosh
  • Subhashish Roy

DEFENDERS

  • Ashutosh Mehta
  • Benjamin Lambot
  • Dylan Fox
  • Gurjinder Kumar
  • Mashoor Shereef
  • Nabin Rabha
  • Nim Dorjee
  • Provat Lakra
  • Rakesh Pradhan
  • Wayne Vaz

MIDFIELDERS

  • Federico Gallego
  • Imran Khan
  • Khassa Camara
  • Lalengmawia
  • Lalrempuia Fanai
  • Pragyan Gogoi
  • Rochharzela

FORWARDS

  • Britto PM
  • Idrissa Sylla
  • Ninthoinganba Meetei
  • Kwesi Appiah
  • Lalkhawpuimawia
  • Luis Machado
  • Suhari Vadakkepeedika

STRENGTH

NorthEast’s biggest asset is their collective mental strength to stay in the game and give their all till the very end. Even last season, they played out to draw matches and secure points and also occasionally struck late to take home 1-0 wins or 1-1 draws.

WEAKNESS

Undoubtedly, it is their defensive organisation. The Highlanders were all over the place in 2019/20 and they held the second-worst defensive record in the tournament, conceding 30 goals. But, they will hope that the new signings like Fox and Ashutosh Mehta can shore up the leaky defence.

KEY PLAYER

Subhasish Roy Chowdhury - Player profile 20/21 | Transfermarkt

Keeping a side in the hunt is not easy, and for that very reason, it is necessary to estimate the value of a good goalkeeper in the form of Subashish Roy Chowdhury, who has made crucial saves in the past to maintain clean sheets. His services will be required this time around as well, with quality opponents determined to find the back of the NorthEast net.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

10th place – Although they have spirit, it will not be enough for them to launch a concerted challenge for even midtable glory and will have to settle with the bottom places.

SS Lazio could be in potential trouble with Serie A owing to health protocol breach

0

Serie A giants SS Lazio could potentially be in big trouble for their latest actions. According to various latest media reports, the Italian club failed to report a few coronavirus cases within their team despite some players testing positive for the same.

It possibly means that Lazio fixed the testing procedures, in order for these players to be able to play in their matches considering there have been a lot in recent times. It represents a huge breach of the health protocol measures set in place by the Serie A and might result in some heavy consequences.

At worst, Lazio would be relegated from the league if the results of the investigation do prove that the club fudged the test results of the players in consideration.

Italy's Serie A to resume on June 20

It is also stated that the footballers in question might be goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, midfielder Lucas Leiva and star centre-forward Ciro Immobile. The revelation is that all of these players tested positive and missed the Champions League game against Club Brugge last weekend. But then while still being positive, played Sunday’s league match against Torino FC.

According to a media report, “Lazio president Claudio Lotito and physician Ivo Pulcini have both already been questioned and, if the allegations are proved, Lazio could either be subject to hefty fines, a points deduction or, at worst, be relegated from the Italian top flight.”

It has now put the entire Serie A in jeopardy, considering Torino players were involved in the same game as those under the radar.

Can Ciro Immobile Break The Serie A Scoring Record? - The Runner Sports

The Italian football federation has faced a number of scandals in the past, with the “Calciopoli” scandal in 2006 concerning Juventus paying off referees saw them come under huge fire and pressure for their antics.

But in a world that is already coping with unprecedented times owing to the pandemic, one would only question why the likes of Immobile, Strakosha and Leiva were allowed to play.

Nevertheless, the developments related to this investigation will be interesting to follow and if Lazio were truly deemed to have breached the rules, then they must be appropriately punished for this.

Paul Pogba needs to forget transfer to Real Madrid and focus on winning his place back in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side: Paul Ince

0

The potential of Paul Pogba is not something to question about. But his attitude is surely a subject of criticism sometimes.

Last month in an interview he said, “Yes, all footballers would like to play for Real Madrid. Maybe it is a dream. It is a dream for me, why not one day? As I have said, I am at Manchester United and I like my club.”

After that interview, he was criticized again by some Manchester United fans. Paul Pogba is struggling to get back in the rhythm this season. After the knee injury and surviving Covid-19, he is yet to get back to his full fitness. He was also out of the first XI in the last few games of Manchester United. He gave away a cheap penalty against Arsenal last weekend from which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored and sealed the victory for the Gunners.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince criticized Pogba for his attitude and his comment about the Real Madrid move publicly. He said, “Paul Pogba has caused nothing but problems at Manchester United since his joining.”

“Paul Pogba needs to forget transfer to Real Madrid and focus on winning his place back in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.”, he added.

Paul Pogba came back to Manchester United in 2016 on a 4-year contract with an option to extend the contract for another year. Paul Pogba is a graduate of Manchester United academy. After that, he joined Juventus in 2012. In his 4 seasons in Italy, he had established himself as a top midfielder.

In his 178 appearances for the Italian side, he has scored 34 goals. He has also won 4 Serie A titles with Juventus. Then he came back to his boyhood club. In his 167 games with United, he has scored 33 goals. In 2018, the Frenchman won the World Cup as well with his country.

He is surely an important member of the squad. He needs to get back to his form to win trophies with Manchester United this season.
