FootBall- Can we Backpass
The question arises is whether we can backpass in the game of foolball.
Football is a beautiful game and has to be played beautifully. I have seen Indian international side playing this game and it tends me to ask a question again and again- Can we backpass the ball.
This happens so that in the group discussion conducted by Accenture company in the placement fair we were asked about the deplorable state of Indian football and why a country of 1 billion cannot produce a good football team.
There were at that time arguments that India does not have the infrastructure or government is not interested and so on and so forth and ofcourse no one actually knows the reason.
I can even state that the condition of cricket is not so good in India. It is so that only 12 nations play that is why we have some reputation or else I do not know. Tell me one thing , if one wants to play or learn cricket in India, where will one go. Can everyone who is reading this blog is comfortable with this question. I think not..
Take hockey, our national game but how many have actually touched a hockey stick ever. I fear not many let alone play.
Times have changed, schools of learning are must because even Dhyanchands of today cannot stand the high level of prepaidness of foreign teams. These foreign teams learn from History, develop a style and work on it. But India is a special case where one sees that historical achievments in games like Football and hockey are just forgotten. What are we doing, again and again reach to the start, hear the same old stories of loosing in the last minutes of not giving any fightback.
Now comming to Football and the back passes. When I see World Cup Football or the European Club matches one sees the beauty of passes. Even when they are few yards away from goal they do not hurry to take the goal and to my they even backpass the ball to their goalie from this stage. They think, they play with strategy, they lay in style. They wait until they make a good chance.
But what do Indian footballers do. They run as if somewhere train is leaving the station. They show a good deal of individualistic play and at the end hand the ball to the defenders of the other teams. And ofcourse who thinks about backpass, well that is a waste of time just go in and " agar bhagya ne saath diya" then they will score a goal or else will give reasons of government not providing enough support.
And what do these people do after retiring from the football. They actually join government service or one can say they play football to join government service or government college and leave a happy life there after, then question arises who will teach the new generation the skills and styles of football and to back pass as always rushing in as cavelry chage will not give results when the other team is teachnically sound. You must learn to fallback and make chances so as to show some good result and for this one must have the attitude to give backpass.
And ofcourse politics does not play football it is our attitude towards life that plays with us..ha ha ha...
