Indian Football
Episode - 10
Navin Tiwary (Anchor of Aaj Tak
News Channel):- Can India beat Brazil in the final match of FIFA World Cup
2034? Already, Nayeiro, the star striker of Brazil has scored 6 goals in this
tournament and in the race of golden boot with other strikers. In the Semi
Final match against France, Nayeiro scored a sensational last minute goal. The
Nayeiro factor is helping Brazil to play top class football in this World Cup!
What’s your opinion on that?
Tapas Roychowdhury (President of
East Bengal Club):- See! Brazil is Brazil. It’s like a branded holy fragrance
or aroma of football. Without Brazil, the game of football really misses its
charm. Nayeiro is not better than Milito. But, Milito being a No. 1 Striker of
the world failed to take his team to the final whereas, Nayeiro has succeeded
in it. I think that Brazil will easily beat India by 3-0 or maybe, 3-1.
Sailen Manna (President of Mohun
Bagan Club):- I don’t think that it will be too easy for Brazil to win the
final match. There is still 10% chance that India may win the final match. A
Final match of any game is the battle of nerves, temperament and mind games.
Analyze the psychology of the Indian footballers. They have nothing to lose.
They have performed much better than their own expectations also. They are
playing World Cup for the first time and they are in the final. They will try
their level best to win the match, but, even if they lose, there is no shame in
it, because Brazil is a much stronger team. On the other hand, think about
Brazilian players. They will be under constant pressure if they concede a goal
from India in the 1st Half. Above all, Brazilian football team is
too some extent dependant on a star striker like Nayeiro. But, Indian football
team is not having any star. 11 mediocre players will play freely as they know
they all are complementary to each other.

Rajanikanth Modi:- This is our
squad for the final match.
Indian Squad for the Final Match against
Brazil
1. Sangram
Mukherjee (Goalkeeper) (Vice Captain)
2. Ranjit
Singh Rathore (Defender)
3. Chiranjit
Malakar (Defender)

9. Dilip
Majumder (Striker)
10. Sunil
Roy (Striker)
11. Rajdeep
Samanta (Striker)
Jayanta Dasgupta:- We will play with only 2
defenders! Do you want us to concede 5 goals from Brazil in the 1st
Half itself.
Rajanikanth Modi:- To kill poison, you need
another poison. To tackle strong attacks, you have to go for strong
counterattacks.
Sunil Chetri:- Offense is the Best Defense.
Rajanikanth Modi:- Exactly! Boys!
I don’t want that World Cup. I am just giving you a target. Score at least 5
goals against Brazil. You don’t have to worry about the victory or defeat in
the match. Just go for 5 goals. Attack the Brazilian defense with so much
aggression that they start feeling the tremors in their defense line up. You will
play in the formation of 2-2-6. Now, the 6 strikers are given free permission
to change their combination accordingly like 2-2-2 or 2-3-1 or 1-4-1 or 1-3-2.
In my opinion, 1-3-2 will be a deadly combination where Dilip Majumder will
play the role of ball passing manager. Best of Luck to all of you! JAI HIND.
All the team members of Indian
football Team:- JAI HIND! Sir!

Harsh Mayar (Anchor of FIFA World
Cup 2034 Closing Ceremony):- Good evening everyone! This evening of 23rd
July 2034 (Sunday) is the final evening of the FIFA World Cup 2034 at Lim Bo
Seng Football Stadium of Singapore. The Closing Ceremony of the FIFA World Cup
2034 resumes.
Parzan Dastur (Anchor of FIFA
World Cup 2034 Closing Ceremony):- The Music Band of Maori tribal people of New
Zealand is just creating a magical moment out here. The vocal music, the sound
of conch shells, drums along with the terrific laser shows is just awesome. The
tribal people of Singapore are now going to perform their dance to showcase
about the need for creating an underwater city as due to global warming, some
of the big cities may get drowned in severe floods. Fantastic! My goodness! The
choreography and the laser shows are just too good.
Ashnoor Kaur (Anchor of FIFA
World Cup 2034 Closing Ceremony):- It’s now time to hear the song from Baby
Sehgal, the grandson of Baba Sehgal. Please welcome Baby Sehgal on the stage.
Baby Sehgal:- “Somebody someday
said, ‘Hey Baby! What’s in a name?’
Somebody someday
said, ‘Hey Baby! What’s in a game?’
There is almost
nothing in a name, but there is surely something in a game.
If you succeed in life,
you feel proud of your name;
If you succeed in a
game, you fall in love with that game.
But if you fail to succeed in
life, if you fail in a game;
My question is to you, to you, to
everybody including God, why that becomes a shame?
Always fight for your pride;
always be ready to take the roller-coaster ride;
Because life is itself a
beautiful game;
So now, take the final
call
Keep on playing the beautiful
game of football;
As this game teaches about
life to all.
Football! Oh! Football! What magic
you have in you! Oh! Football
Just keep on playing the beautiful
game of football.”
Harsh Mayar (Anchor of FIFA World
Cup 2034 Closing Ceremony):- Oh! Yes! Football has its own magic and it’s a
magical game to be admired too by all. The closing ceremony ends with a
fantastic song sung by Baby Sehgal. The final match between Brazil and India
will resume shortly.
**********************************************
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Hello Everyone! I am Napoleon Nadal and Michael Monroe will
be coming in the commentary box shortly. It’s a carnival atmosphere in Lim Bo
Seng Football Stadium of Singapore. The game has started. Hi Michael!
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Hi Nadal! Oops! The Portuguese referee, Francis Fernando is
as usual, a very strict referee. He has already booked Gurdeep Singh Saini of
India and Zeco of Brazil. 10 minutes of the game is over. Maurinho passed the
ball to Nayeiro. Oh! No one is there to mark Nayeiro. One to one situation!
Goal! Brazil is leading by 1-0.
*****************************************
Jayanta Dasgupta:- Don’t panic!
We don’t want to win the match. We want to score 5 goals only.
Gurdeep Singh Saini:- High waves
emerge in the sea beach when there are low waves for a long period of time. I
am going backward in the Central Defense area. Whenever you guys feel that our
attacking move is not going to create a crack on Brazilian fortress, just back
pass the ball to our defense area to start a fresh move again with full force.
Jayanta Dasgupta (whispering at
Sunil Roy):- Saala! Sardar hole ki hobe! Bhaloi seyana buddhi dhore.
Sunil Roy (whispering at Jayanta
Dasgupta):- Buddhi jaate jhore na jaaye, tai maathaye pagri bedhe rakhe. Ha ha
ha...
Jayanta Dasgupta:- Ha ha ha...Ok!
Guys! Play one-touch passing football now, but with accuracy.
****************************************
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Indian footballers are just playing time-pass football or
what. They are passing and passing the ball only. Or is it a strategy to slow
down the speedy attacking movements of the Brazilian strikers.
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Cerezo made the sliding tackle, but, Arjun Thapa one touched
the ball to steer it in a no man’s land. Harilal Tamang sprinting in and
dribbling too! Good tackle by Navarro to
snatch the ball from Harilal, but, Rajdeep Samanta wasted no time to snatch it
from Navarro’s foot and shooting the ball towards the Brazilian goal post.
Sampaio, the Brazilian goalkeeper failed to save the ball. India is back in the
game with an equalizer goal at the 36th minute of the game. The score is 1-1.
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Brazil is attacking now. Pauline to Binto. Binto crossed the
ball towards Nayeiro. Nayeiro gave a fantastic pass to Maurinho. Maurinho!
Lovely finishing touch to score the 2nd goal for Brazil! Brazil is
leading by 2-1. 42 minutes of the match is over.
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Zonta made a foul. Zonta and Arjun Thapa are exchanging some
words between them. Francis Fernando came to the spot and immediately showed
Yellow Cards to both of them. Ha ha ha. Automatically, the situation is under
control. Arjun Thapa took the free kick. Sunil Roy received the ball and
chipped it towards Harilal Tamang. Harilal dribbled through Gurgel and Melo’s
defense. Sampaio is charging on. Harilal Tamang passed the ball to Rajdeep
Samanta at the right time. Just a simple touch was enough for Rajdeep to score
that goal. Brazilian defenders demanded that Rajdeep Samanta was in offside
position, but, the Linesman confirmed that Rajdeep received the ball in onside
position. India came back again with their 2nd equalizer goal. The
score is 2-2. 3 minutes of stoppage time
added.
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Binto to Zeco. Zeco sprinting in from the left flank! Chiranjit
Malakar made the clearance. Gurgel took the throw. Pauline passes the ball to
Nayeiro. Oh! Ranjit Singh Rathore slipped on the ground. Nayeiro took the shot.
Sangram punched the ball in the air. Zeco headed the ball inside the net to
make it 3-2 for Brazil. The referee blew the whistle to end the 1st
Half of the match.
************************************************
Rajanikanth Modi:- You guys are
not attacking that aggressively. I want to see more aggression.
Jayanta Dasgupta:- We are playing
football, Sir! We are not in a battlefield. But, still we are trying our level
best to play as much aggressive football as we can.
Rajanikanth Modi:- Ok! Best of
Luck!
************************************************
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Cerezo! What a run! Passed the ball to Navarro! Navarro
passed the ball to Pauline. Pauline took the shot and got the goal. Brazil is
leading by 4-2. 52 minutes of the match is over. Brazil is on the
driving seat now.
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- It is too early to comment. Ranjit Singh Rathore made a long
clearance. Whoa! Arjun Thapa received the ball at an unmarked zone. Arjun Thapa
running in! Oh! No! That’s a hard tackle by Binto. The referee gave a strong
warning to Binto. Arjun Thapa is going to take the free kick from a very
advantageous position. We have seen so many swinging in free kicks, but, this
one swung out, but, the ball entered into the net. Oh! Sampaio, we feel sorry
for you, but, it was just one of the outstanding out-swinging right-footed free
kicks of all times. Well done, Arjun Thapa! Brazil is still leading by 4-3.
Only 29 minutes left in the match.
***********************************************
Rajanikanth Modi:- Time to
control the entire game in the midfield region. Pauline, Zeco and Navarro are
creating dominance in the midfield region to supply good balls towards Nayeiro
and Maurinho. We must send in two good midfielders now. Any suggestion!
Sunil Chetri:- We need aggressive
defenders, Sir. Jignesh Jadav and Baji Rao Achrekar are best fit for the
job. But, they will replace which two
players?
Rajanikanth Modi:- Sunil Roy and
Rajdeep Samanta.
**********************************************
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- India is playing all out attacking football now. 76 minutes
of the match is over. The mini battle is going on in the midfield region. India
may be doing a gamble by playing all out attacking football. Look at Sangram Mukherjee.
He has sprinted half way towards the centre of the ground to take a long shot
towards Dilip Majumder at the right flank. Melo is giving a tough challenge to
Dilip Majumder and the ball went out for a corner kick. Tomba Llong is going to
take the corner kick. Jignesh Yadav received the ball and took a powerful shot
at the goal. The ball touched the right leg of Gurgel and went to hit the left
side bar post of the Brazilian goal post to rebound towards Gurdeep Singh
Saini. Gurdeep Singh Saini took a left footed shot. Gurdeep! That’s a goal.
Indian team is again back in the match. The score is 4-4. Only 3 minutes left
in the match and an extra 1 minute of stoppage time.
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- This is a very interesting moment of the match. Now, India is
playing their normal game. They are not going for all out attack. Jayanta
Dasgupta is removing his captaincy band and giving it to Sangram Mukherjee.
Suresh Murmu replaces Jayanta Dasgupta. Sangram Mukherjee is ordering his boys
to go for all out attack again. Tomba Llong took a long shot, but, Sampaio
somehow managed to save it. India got a corner kick. Only 1 minute left in the
match. Are we heading for the Extra
Time? Harilal Tamang took the shot. Chiranjit Malakar back passed the ball to
Baji Rao Achrekar. Baji Rao Achrekar sprinted forward a little and gave a
one-touch pass to Suresh Murmu. Suresh Murmu chipped the ball towards the left
flank area. Ranjit Singh Rathore dived towards the ball and headed it towards
the goal post. Sampaio also dived in the air, but, the ball went inside the
net. Goal! What a photo it will be in tomorrow’s newspaper, where a striker and
goalkeeper are diving in the air and the ball is making its movement towards
the goal. Amazing goal! India is now leading by 5-4.
Napoleon Nadal (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- What a goal! The referee blew the final whistle. The entire
stadium erupts. Rajanikanth Modi, Sunil Chetri and the other members of the
Indian football team are running inside the ground. What a moment for them.
Playing in the World Cup for the first time and winning it for the first time.
India is the World Cup Champion of the FIFA World Cup 2034. Not only India, not
only Singapore, all the Asian nations are celebrating this victory. An Asian
Team has created a new record in the game of football. There are tears in the
eyes of all players. Indian players are having the tears of joy in their eyes
and the Brazilian players are having the tears of sorrow in their eyes. They
have lifted Rajanikanth Modi. Why not! These Indian players must feel proud of
their coach, assistant coach and also the other team members.
Michael Monroe (Commentator of
FIFA World Cup):- Indian players are making the victory lap in the Lim Bo Seng
Football Stadium of Singapore. In a short while, the Indian team will be
lifting the Cup of Gold, i.e. the FIFA World Cup of 2034. Yes, there they are.
Lionel Messi, the President of FIFA is handing over the FIFA World Cup of 2034
to the Indian football Team. Well played, India! Your performance will remain
as an example for any football team to play like a dark horse in any
tournament. We are signing off for now.
Bid Adieu, FIFA World Cup of 2034.
********************************************
Navin Tiwary (Anchor of Aaj Tak
News Channel):- This is a glorious day for the game of football in India. No
one ever had a wildest dream to see India as the World Champion of Football.
But, they achieved it.
Tapas Roychowdhury (President of
East Bengal Club):- I knew that it would happen. My heart was always saying
that India will win the FIFA World Cup of 2034.
Sailen Manna (President of Mohun
Bagan Club):- Dhaath! Khaali bhaaotabaaji. You are the one who was always
saying that India will not even qualify in the Round of 16 stages. Rather, you
should give credit to my positive and rational thinking. I had a strong belief
that India will reach the Semi Final. Now, they are World Champion. Ei jeh tui
baaji here geli, kaalkei tui amake Chingri Malai Curry er treat dibi Bhajahari
Manna Restaurant e niye giye.
Navin Tiwary (Anchor of Aaj Tak
News Channel):- Ok! Gentlemen! A live Press Conference is going on in New
Delhi. Let us focus a few minutes there.
Sachin Tendulkar (Sports Minister
of India at a Press Conference):- How many nations play Cricket and how many
nations play football? I think that winning a World Cup Football tournament is
much more creditable than winning a World Cup Cricket Tournament. I hope that
the Indian footballers will keep on playing with the same spirit and dedication
in the days ahead. We will give more focus to improve the infrastructure of
football in India. This Indian football team has proved that India has talented
footballers but due to lack of proper infrastructure, they were not getting
groomed properly as per FIFA Standards. Once again, I congratulate the Indian
Football Team.
Bhaichung Bhutia (President of
AIFF):- From now on, our target will be to qualify in all the World Cup
Football Tournaments. It is tough to reach at the top but it is tougher to
maintain that top position. We announce to give Rs. 10 lakhs to each footballer
of this Indian Football Team. Once again, I congratulate the Indian football
team for such a glorious victory.
Lionel Messi (President of
FIFA):- First of all, I congratulate the entire Indian Football Team for their
terrific performance to lift the FIFA World Cup of 2034. Team Spirit is the keyword to success for any
team in this world. This Indian Team had a very positive team spirit. We are
planning to open up a FIFA Football Research Academy for the cream footballers
of India at Kolkata very soon. Thank you.
**********************************************
Arindam:- Hello! Congratulation,
Sir!
Rajanikanth Modi:- Thank you!
Arindam:- Sir! I have one humble
request. This time, I am inviting you and your entire team at the Dining cum
Conference Hall of Royal Bengal Palace Hotel of Kolkata for an episode of the
TV program, ‘WINE WITH ARINDAM’.
Rajanikanth Modi:- Sure! Sure!
Why not! But, I also have a humble request. You must write a short story on
“INDIAN FOOTBALL” which would inspire the young footballers of our next
generation to play much better football in the future ahead.
Arindam:- Well, frankly speaking,
I have never ever written any story in my life. Anyway, I will try my level
best to write a short story on “INDIAN FOOTBALL”.
THE END
