#2 Minerva’s trust in youth finally pays off
After six games, two draws and four losses, Minerva FC picked up their first win of the campaign. That not only pulled them out of the bottom of the table, that they managed to do so with two teenagers scoring for them, beckoned goodwill from all corners of India.
A 17-year-old Boaringdao Bodo became the youngest ever goal scorer in the I-League, and that is saying something. Not only that, they have given game time to the likes of Germanpreet Singh, Souvik Das, Vinit Rai, Uttam Rai and Anirudh Thapa, all bright youngsters.
It might not be the easiest thing to play youngsters when you’re bottom of the League, but credit to Surinder Singh for his sticking to the youngsters.
