ISL is one of the major platforms to build players – Odisha FC goalkeeper Amrinder Singh

Odisha FC goalkeeper Amrinder Singh said ISL is one of the major platforms to build players. Indian Super League has taken giant strides in the last decade and has played a key role in the upliftment of Indian football.

Singh, who has been playing in the tournament since 2015, has also grown along with it. The custodian has kept eight clean sheets in the ongoing season and has played a crucial role in Kalinga Warriors’ success.

Singh was also part of Odisha FC’s Super Cup triumph in the previous season. The goalkeeper reckons the foreign coaches have helped the players in improving their game at the top level.

“When you have good coaches and players, they help you a lot. In the first few seasons, we used to have foreign goalkeepers; we got information and inputs from them. They helped us a lot, which was very important. Goalkeeping is all about training. Good coaches and players make you play better. To be honest, international goalkeepers helped me a lot. Having an international goalkeeping coach is extremely important as well,” Amrinder Singh said in an interview with ISL official website.

“ISL is one of the major platforms to build players. All teams have academies, and it’s really helping all Indian youngsters to develop and to progress to play for the senior teams. Whenever they play with new coaches and foreigners, the quality of Indian football has become so high, as compared to before. ISL is growing really well and in the right direction. With more teams joining every season, the league is doing well. So many young players have come up because of the ISL. Foreign coaches teach you to think quickly, and it encourages me that we will see more success in the coming years,” he further added about the importance of the ISL ecosystem and the role it has played in shaping Indian football over the last decade.

Odisha FC will next take on Bengaluru FC on 30th March at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru.
