[Goanet] Goa football striker call times at age 28
Former East Bengal nad Salgaocar SC striker calls time at age 28 Cuncolim village based striker Fredy Mascarenhas was the toast of the handful of Goa supporters at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at Kochi in Kerala, when the state won the Santosh trophy in 2005 defeating Maharashtra in the final. Four years later, Fredy again featured in the Goa Santosh trophy winning squad at Chennai, but, had limited success. Football lovers from Goa and the rest of the country has effectively seen the last of the promising but inconsistent striker on the big stage. The tournament in Chennai which Goa won defeating West Bengal has now turned out to be his last national championship, as the 28-year-old former India striker has quit football and has since migrated to Bermuda. The six-foot plus striker made his India debut in 2006, as one of the players drafted into the Indian team by English coach Bob Houghton for the Toronto trip, as the coach then, was on the lookout for tall players to play for the national team. Current Mohan Bagan player Micky Fernandes was the other player who got a nod from Houghton for the Toronto trip on account of the height consideration. The striker was twice earlier called to the Indian team camp by Coach Stephen Constantine, the Cyprus-born coach but could not make his way into the team. First spotted by Levino Dias in the village level under-12 programs conceived and launched by Salcete Football Club under the guidance of the present All India Football Federation Secretary Alberto Colaco, he first played for Cuncolim Union under-15 team and later on for Salgaocar SC under-19 team under the present Pune Football Club coach Derrick Pereira. A family tragedy, in the death of his mother through a road accident and family pressure almost made him quit football and plan for his migration. But fate had another thing for him in store. St Anthony Club Colva, the Colva-based club which was then patronized by current Tourism minister Francisco (Mickky) Pacheco convinced him to sign on the dotted line. The next two seasons he signed for Salgaocar Sports Club, but a road accident during the pre-season training meant he spend the entire first season recuperating from his injuries. He went on to don colours for Churchill bros, East Bengal and Sporting Clube de Goa. He never lived up to the exceptional promise he showed as a young striker playing for his school team, Our lady of Health when the Cuncolim school won the state level Subroto Mukerjee tournament, but he was the only one to graduate from school football to club and ultimately play for the country. Fredy follows in the steps of yet another promising yet temperamental former Goa under-19 striker Wesley Coutinho hailing from Cuncolim in migrating overseas. Wesley played for two seasons for Raia Sporting Club as a Under-20 player, and won a couple of man-of-match awards in his first season in the Goa Professional league in 2005-06, but quit professional football in 2007 and is now working for P O Cruises, all at the age of 21. Wesley was yet another striker who gave a torrid time for defenders in the aerial battle, Wesley also turned out as a loan player for now disbanded Fransa Pax Football Club in the National Football League now rechristened as the I-League. The Betalbatim village based commercial club of Pacheco which was disbanded by the patron midway into the league. Last year at the start of the new season yet another striker Drupesh Dessai from Cuncolim was forever lost to football on account of road accident. Drupesh who had excelled for two seasons for Churchill Bros as a Under-20 player, had signed for Salgaocar Sports Club, but met with an accident which drastically changed his life and took him away from football. If Cuncolim Municpal town tucked away thirteen kilometers away for the commercial capital of Goa, Margao has been producing a handful of quality players in the last five to six years it has been the fruits of the Youth Development Programmes which were funded by Cuncolim Association Mumbai and implemented by a dedicated bunch of individuals like Philip Coutinho, Levino Dias, Zephyrus Mascarenhas and Dinesh Naik, as they have been missing the backing and enthusiasm of a few dedicated individuals who have moved away from Cuncolim football for varied reasons . Sad to say, there has not been continuity in the Youth Development Programmes in Cuncolim and thus Mahesh Gawli now remains the only Cuncolim-based player who will be seen in action in the I-League this season. Hopefully, Kennan Alemida, one of the players who made the trip to Manchester United along with a bunch of players from Goa steps up the gas to make the higher grade

Goa football body slams Minister for soccer academy exit Panaji, Mar 19 Goa Football Association (GFA) President Joaquim Alemao has held Tourism and Housing Minister Micky Pacheco responsible for the shifting of the proposed Rs 100-crore football academy out of the state. The Minister did not clear the file pertaining to the allotment of land even after the State Cabinet approved the proposal for AIFF-Bharti soccer academy, he said. Itaposs a big loss ever for Goan football. One man held Goa to ransom. Chief Minister Digamber Kamat and NCP leader Praful Patel tried their best to make Pacheco see reason but he did not listen, and there is nothing much one can do, Alemao said. Pacheco belongs to NCP, a key ally in the Stateaposs Congress-led Government. The land for the academy ad-measuring 1.26 lakh sq mt was cleared by the Cabinet but with the Housing Minister Micky Pacheco refusing to part with the file, it has cost us dearly he said. http://www.indopia.in/India-usa-uk-news/latest-news/527425/Sports/5/20/5 ~(^^)~ Avelino

The Intra-Gulf Goan tournament in Doha provides lovers of the game from the Indian state with plenty of nostalgic moments, writes Kumar Ravi. IT WAS a nostalgic evening at the Al Ahli Sports Club, last Friday, for football lovers from India living in Qatar. More so for those who belong to the Indian state of Goa. The occasion was the Intra-Gulf Goan tournament, organised by the Goan Welfare Association, Qatar. Sun, sand and soccer is the USP of Goa, which is gradually becoming the No.1 football centre in India, with as many as four teams featuring in the I-League. The Goans' love for football is as old as the sun-kissed beaches of Colva and Calangute. People from this former Portuguese colony love and play the game with a rare passion and flair, often seen in Europe and Latin America, so much so that the sport is part of their daily life. For the tens and thousands of Goans living in the GCC countries too, it is no exception. Eight outstation teams - Goa Veterans, Bahrain Goans, SBCB Bahrain, Santos United (Kuwait), Navelim Youth Centre (Kuwait), Vanxim Divar (Dubai), ABC Benaulim (Dubai), Aldona United (Dubai) - flew in to Qatar to join two teams from the hosts (Goan Welfare Association Red and Blue) for the 'Goan Mini World Cup'. For the record, Vanxim Divar defeated Santos United in tie-breaker to emerge champions in this one-day tournament, where the eventual finalists ended up playing six matches of shortened durations. It was not just the footballers who travelled to Qatar, but many of them flew in with their family members to renew their friendships and strengthen their social networking. The patronage from the local Goan community was amazing as many of them vied for vantage positions right from the morning. Jassim Ali Mohamed Ibrahim, former Qatari national player, was the special guest for the evening. Goa Football Association General Secretary Savio Messias was the chief guest while Marcus Pacheco, who is the goalkeepers' coach for the Indian national team, was the guest of honour. It was the Goan Veterans team that hogged the limelight. The Veterans team included five former internationals - ex-India captain Bruno Coutinho, Savio Madeira, Lawrence Gomes, Camillo Gonsalves and goalkeeper Chandrakant Naik. While Bruno, Savio and Lawrence were the mainstays in Salgaocar Sports Club's golden days during the late 1980s and early '90s, Camillo and Chandrakant donned the Dempo colours, and all of them were regular members of the Goan state as well as Indian team. With most of them into the late 40s and some of them even into 50s, no one expected them to reproduce their magic of the old, but the veterans proved that age has not let them down badly as they won two games. They narrowly missed out on a semifinal berth, losing their fourth match on penalties. The quality of play seen in the tournament is yet another testimony to the Goans' love for soccer as most of the players were in good nick and some of the goals were of high class. The Goan Welfare Association, Qatar, deserves a pat on their back for organising such a memorable event. GWA President Simon D'Silva, Vice-President for Sport Martin Mascarenhas, Chief Co-ordinator Jerson Sequeira and a bunch of dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to make the event a grand success. Organising an event of this magnitude wasn't easy. There were a lot of logistics involved. Nearly 300 people from the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain travelled to Qatar. I'm happy that it was a huge success, said D'Silva. It was mainly due to the hard work done by our association members and volunteers that we've been able to do it successfully, he added. The GWA president also expressed thanks to the Qatar Football Association, referees, sponsors and media for their support. Stylish, steady Savio-ur PIEDADE Savio Madeira, popularly known by his middle name, was one of the most stylish and consistent midfielders India have ever had. His ability to send pinpoint passes to seemingly unseen team-mates, his stunning long-rangers and to control the pace of the game in the middle always made him stand out among his peers. Savio was in Doha to take part in the Goan tournament. He is presently working as an assistant coach, under Englishman Bob Houghton, with the Indian national team. Savio spoke at length to Doha Stadium Plus, about Indian football, its present state of affairs and his vision for further
