#1 All-Indian line-up not a worry for Lajong
When Shillong Lajong announced that they will field an all-Indian line-up before the season, everyone came to a shock. Indian Arrows are the only team with an all-Indian set-up but that’s for a purpose. What made up Lajong taking the decision?
Lajong management said they want to promote players from the northeast as many as possible. So, Lajong not only have an all-Indian line-up but also an all-north-eastern line-up.
After the first two matches, one can safely say that the move is successful. They defeated Aizawl FC comfortably in their first match. Though they have lost against a stronger side like East Bengal, they have maintained supremacy throughout the match.
Lajong maintained 65 per cent ball possession and made at least 200 passes more than red and golds. Samuel, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Lalawmpuia Hnamte and Kenstar Kharshong are some of the talents that the team possess. The team will only get better in the coming days.
