We lack proper training - Bhaichung Bhutia (8 May 2008 in TNN)

Indian Captain Bhaichung Bhutia at a PIFA functionNot only training but doing it the correct way is very important in sports, feels Indian football captain Baichung Bhutia. “It’s about training the right way as well as training hard which is most important,’’ the Sikkim-born mercurial striker said here at a media conference on Wednesday.

As an example, Bhutia said he has not seen a more talented footballer from the country than IM Vijayan, the former national skipper hailing from Kerala, who would have achieved much more, had proper training facilities been available during his days.

“IM Vijayan was as talented as any other footballer in the world. With his inherent talent if only he had the right training methods and proper guidance, he would have gone very far,” Bhutia said. TNN

PIFA offers the latest age specific training methods.
