Yesterday former India captain Baichung Bhutia said in Mumbai, "I think it is a new team. It's a young team. We need to give them time and support them. After a lot of senior players left, it is bound to be difficult for them."
Is Baichung right or wrong???
I agree with Baichung! Then this young Indian football team, no matter if the selection was right or wrong, needs our support especially in difficult times like these.
But if I see the reactions during and after the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup in Nepal, then surely it was about having a go against our own team. And this to me is a no-go in whatever the circumstances may be. We can be unhappy about things and show our emotions, but Team India needs 100% support which pushes the team on.
Over the years I have seen many examples where fan support has had positive influence on teams. Take e.g. Team India winning the Nehru Cup twice and the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup. The crowd at the Ambedkar Stadium gave the team a positive push, especially in the finals!
