The Times of John

For the love of the game
By John Zothansanga

THE BIG GUNS

Malsawmfela
Dependable as always, MPL3 best forward Malsawmfela has been in
an absolutely electric form which helped him found the back of the net
11 times, and he already has 28 goals to his name across four seasons
in the top tier league of Mizoram. The former Pailan Arrows forward
incisive passing and dribbling through the lines is always a feast for
your eyes - if you love the beautiful game.

Lalrammuanpuia
The Armed Veng born striker came into prominence when he became
the top scorer of NECS Cup 2015, he then went on to joined
Chanmari West where he struggled to find the back of the net with
only one goal to his name in the MPL4. But, the journey doesn't end
there. Apuia, as he is fondly called by his admirers joined BVT and
unquestionably elevated himself into the ranks of the state best
forwards as he helped them reached the final with six goals to his
name.

BUY ONE, GET THREE FREE!

Samson Ramengmawia
The former Shillong Lajong captain was among the absentee for the
first half of MPL5 even though he guided Zo United to their first ever
MPL semi-final as a player-coach last year. When BVT came to know
his availability, Bsa Colney waste no time and obtained the signature
of the metronomic midfielder. Despite his age, the elegant midfielder
already shows his class with his decision making in the heart of
midfield. Class, leader, experience - all in one package!

A WET BLANKET
R. Malsawmtluanga
A person who spoils other people's fun is called 'A wet blanket'. And
yes, I come out with the name R. Malsawmtluanga. Reasons? Because
with his calming presence in the center of the pitch he always killed
the game before his opponents really have their fun! His ability to
control the tempo of matches with his measured passing is always an
advantage for Chanmari FC. Former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque
once described Sergio Busquets - If you watch the whole game, you
wont see Busquets, he said. But watch Busquets and you will see
the whole game. - Shall we give the MPL 2014 'best player' the 'Mizo
Busquets sobriquet?

HELLO,
FROM THE
OTHER
SIDE...
Mizoram footballing legend S. Malsawmtluanga has his says in

the upcoming MPL final. The former East Bengal midfielder

texted me, "To win the final at any level is not easy, the team
with more intensity will win the league,". Jose Mourinho had
once said, "We have to always be intense, intense, intense to
win the game," - The time has come to be intense. Hello, can
you hear me BVT and Chanmari?
"Chanmari I think have the upper hand against Bethlehem
Vengthlang because they have a better squad," opined Jerry
Lalrinzuala, who made his breakthrough in his first Indian
Super League with Chennayin FC.
FPAI Indian player of the Year, Goal 25 Best Indian footballer,
ISL, I-League, SAFF Cup, Federation Cup - Jeje Lalpekhlua
has won it all. But when it comes to prediction of MPL final
'the Mizoram Sniper' didn't know where to put his money. "I
don't know which team to tip to win the final, both teams are
great team. I only expect an exciting final match," he said to
me. Thank you Je, we all expect that too!
"On paper, the better team is Chanmari FC, at the same time it
is not easy to write off BVT," was a WhatsApp message I
received from Lalchhuanmawia Fanai, the forever reliable
Bengaluru left back. I am with you Chhuante, it is a
tremendously tough job to predict MPL final - as always
.
"BVT captain Lalhlima is a good friend of mine," started
Lalrindika Ralte when I called him over the phone. "Sawmfela
(Chanmari striker) is another guy i am still in touch with," he
continued. "But, i think i will be happier if BVT wins the
league," he finally pours out his heart. Fair play Didik! I hope
the people of Bethlehem Vengthlang will cheer for you when
you play your first ISL final against Kerala! All the best!
