Three Shillong Lajong FC players to train in Denmark

In a first of its kind three players from I-League side Shillong Lajong FC - Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Lalramluaha and Lalthuammawia Ralte - are heading for Europe to get specialised training at Danish first division (second tier of Danish football) club FC Vestsjælland, which is a partner club of Lajong through their common co-owners Anglian Holdings.

At the time of announcing that they are buying a stake at Shillong Lajong, the Dubai-based Anglian Holdings had said that they would enable players from Lajong FC to train in Denmark to gain international exposure and the annoucement was made yesterday, the same day as FCV's signing of PIO Netan Sansara ( PIO Netan Sansara signs for Danish club FC Vestsjælland ).

The three talented footballer leave leave Shillong today and will be in Denmark for a couple of weeks until July 29. They will have access to quality training facilities and will be looking to make full use of this international exposure. The trip will also serve as an exercise to gauge the standards of the I-League players, as the three boys seek to gain valuable international experience from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Over the last couple of years Shillong Lajong FC has send an astounding 23 of its junior players to Europe through football development projects and tournaments held by Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan; but sending three professional footballers to Denmark for a two week specialised training camp is also something new for the club.

Lajong General Secretary Larsing Ming Sawyan said, "the trip will serve as a platform to provide SLFC and its players an insight into European club football and learn from the experience. We hope to conduct many such exposure trips in the future which shall include promising players,junior coaching staff,as well as managers and executives of SLFC."

An excited local Shillong boy Eugeneson Lyngdoh said, "I am very excited about going to Denmark and getting the experience to play with international players. It will be a new experience and I am eagerly looking forward to it. We have heard so much about European players and to actually get to play alongside them will take my playing to a new level. It will also equipped me with better skills and knowledge to grow as a footballer."

Former Tata Football Academy cadet Lalramluaha added, "I am quite excited and happy about the trip as I will get to learn new things in good training facilities."
