FC Goa lost again. But Goa still emerged a winner. Milagres Gonsalves from Goa scored the only goal of the match. After Cavin Lobo it’s Milagres Gonsalves, both these Goans are match winners. Isn’t this proof enough that there’s no dearth of world class soccer talent in Goa?
We do need the foreign players to improve the standard of soccer but along with it we also need to increase our search and groom talent at grassroots level. This simple, yet powerful strategy will bring in a dramatic change in soccer in India. So come on Goa please don’t sulk in with FC Goa’s loss but let’s cherish the birth of soccer legends from Goa. There are lots of Cavins and Milagres in Goa, just waiting for the moment. Is FC Goa ready to give them the platform to show their talent? Only time will tell. As for now, let’s all congratulate Milagres as today is his moment of glory.
