\"sandesh\"AIFF Media Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW DELHI:<\/strong> Venkatesh Shanmugam, Assistant Coach of India Senior National Team, feels it\u2019s \u201cright time\u201d for Sandesh Jhingan look at playing for International clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly feel this is the right time for him to go and play outside (India). It\u2019s a big surprise that he is still playing in India. Whatever Sandesh has achieved so far is entirely because of his hard work. Sandesh is a committed player and wants to play every game. He is a fighter and is up for everything. He is a leader and very patient. We need characters like him in the team,\u201d Venkatesh stated in a live chat with AIFF TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many players with great potential. When people ask how we can make the Indian team better — I would say that more players should play for clubs outside India. And for Sandesh, I think this the right time,\u201d Venkatesh averred.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only Sandesh, but also Thapa (Anirudh Thapa) has the potential to play outside India. They are good enough. By mentioning outside India I am not always hinting at European leagues. I only hope 8-9 players go out and play \u2013 maybe in the J-League, the league in the UAE, the K-League, or elsewhere,\u201d Venkatesh opined.<\/p>\n

Venkatesh even made mention of him and his contemporaries getting offers from clubs in other Asian leagues \u201cbut eventually didn\u2019t take the bite.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMahesh (Gawli), Jules (Alberto), myself \u2013 we all received offers to play outside. I had an offer from a J-League 2nd division league. But somehow I didn\u2019t take the plunge. We lacked adequate knowledge. But you need to look at Gurpreet and the manner he has improved after playing in Europe. The knowledge a player gets playing outside is immense,\u201d he opined.<\/p>\n

“I always encourage players to commit mistakes. Sometimes, they stay shy of playing freely. But it doesn’t help them grow. Unless you commit mistakes, you won’t learn. Everyone wants to see how we can improve. If these boys go out, they’ll learn and that’ll, in turn, help the National Team (improve),” the former midfielder expressed.<\/p>\n

He even went to the extent of mentioning it\u2019s time to look for a replacement for a player like Sandesh.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone talks about who will be the next Sunil. But after 4-5 years we need to make sure that we have the next Sandesh as well because he is an integral part of Indian Football. We need to monitor the young players from now so that they put in an effort and reach that level of success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
