Chencho Gyeltshen, Star of Bhutan aim for ISL

CG7 Chencho Gyeltshen (Champions of I-League) MPFC
After helping his team, Minerva Punjab FC, win the I-League in his first season, Chencho Gyeltshen is back in the country. The striker will now join his national teammates to prepare for the away clash with the Maldives.
Chencho’s desire to succeed in the I-League saw him giving everything in every match he played for the Punjab based club. Sharing his delight at winning the league, he said, “from my side, I gave 110 per cent on the pitch so that I can help the team. Football is a team game and I contributed a lot for Minerva.”
But Chencho had to endure several challenges to gain trust from his teammates and the management. He said, “when they heard this player is from Bhutan; they always think that Bhutan football is not so popular and not so good player. So, initially they underestimated me. After one month, they started doing good to me.”
Having taken the I-League by storm and shown the world what he can do, Chencho says, the next big step is to land an Indian Super League contract. “I am planning to play from the ISL from next season. Officially I didn’t receive any offers, its all dealt by the agents. But I got offers from nine – ten agents. So, right now I am talking with these agents,” he added.
With his eyes set on the ISL, Chencho Gyeltshen believes on never giving up to reach one’s goals. He said, “If you know your talent, try to work hard and push yourself. This will take you high one day.”

the bigger Red Dragons out-roared the Bhutan's Dragon Boys

In the clash of the two dragons, the bigger Red Dragons out-roared the Dragon Boys when the People’s Republic of China thrashed the Bhutanese team 12-0 at the He Long Stadium, Changsha, Hunan in China, yesterday.

The on-field massacre started as soon as the whistle blew with the Chinese getting their first look at goal less than 30 seconds into the game. Defender Mei Fang scored the first goal in the ninth minute opening the floodgates for 11 more in the next 80 minutes.
Weaving through the Bhutanese defense, striker Yang Xu and partner Yu Dabao scored four and two goals each respectively. Striker Yu Hanchao and substitute Wang Yongpo also scored two goals each and midfielder Zhang Xizhe also registered his name on the score sheet.
The intention was clear, China wanted to score early, and score as many goals as possible in the race to the top of the table, currently held by Qatar with 15 points.
The game plan of the Bhutanese players was unclear. A defensive approach did not work against the much faster and taller Chinese players. The wet and slippery pitch added to the carnage as Bhutanese goalie Hari Gurung could not get a proper grip on the ball.
The home advantage was clearly evident in the game play of the Chinese players. With 67 to 37 percent ball possession, China dominated throughout the 90 minutes with their speed and physique, rampaging over their physically inferior opponents. The miss passes and hasty play from the Dragon Boys clearly showed that the pressure was immense.
The Bhutanese players could attempt only three shots to 39 shots for China, with an on-target shot of 24 to zero for Bhutan. The Chinese made a total of 709 passes to Bhutan’s 231.
With a game in hand, the win maintains China’s position at the third place in Group C of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers with 10 points. Hong Kong defeated Maldives 1-0 in the other game yesterday to retain their position at the second with 13 points.
Bhutan will host Qatar in their second last game of this round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on November 17 at the Changlimithang stadium.

Bhutan's Dragon's Boys clash with Giant Dragon, China in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

The National Football Team is fully prepared to face the giant dragon, China, at Helong Stadium in Changsha, at 5:30 PM local time. This is the second match for the two teams for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. China had won the first game, 6-0 at the Changlimithang stadium, in Thimphu. The team reached China, yesterday.

Our reporter, Yeshey Gyeltshen, who is following the Dragon Boys, says the squad of 23 players is working hard, right from the crack of the dawn.
The team will not need acclimatization as the weather in Changsha is quite similar to that of Thimphu, says our reporter.

The challenge, however, will be from the opposition team, who will not only have the home ground advantage, but having lost their previous match to Qatar, will not want the same results.
But, the Bhutanese players say they are ready.
The team will be led to the ground by striker, Chencho Gyeltshen. Chencho says he wishes to score in every single match, this one included.
“It’s a big responsibility having people expecting and relying on me to score. And it’s my job, as a striker, to score goals.”
The bigger boost for the team has come in the form of the head coach. Players say having a Bhutanese head coach has boosted the team’s morale.
“With the change of coach, I believe the attitude of the team has changed. It has made easier for us to discuss our views with the coach and plan accordingly for the next game,” said Midfielder, Karun Gurung.
The team’s new head coach, Pema admits tomorrow’s match will be a tough one, but says the results cannot be predicted.
“They have new players in the team. But we are ready, tactically, technically, and physically,” he said.
