Haan bhai, that’s a solid point — cement pitches are a curse for our chhote town players. 😔 We spend crores on stadiums in cities but forget the basics for the real talent. My cousin’s son in Murshidabad tore his shoulder last year because the only net was on a concrete school ground. Outcome-wise, we need proper rubber mats in every block, not just TT league hype.
Arre baba, that amla-bhringraj with TT pings — what a picture you've drawn! But that cement versus rubber mat point, our Sesa Football Academy boys used to complain exactly the same when they'd come back from Vasco with shin splints. Cement is dungar, not ground — kills the ankle before the career starts.
Achaa macha, that cement vs rubber mat thing is real — even my old Usha table fan vibrates different on hard tile than on wood. Those power hitters from small towns, they're like our local motors running without a proper earth: one surge and the winding burns out. Dekho pehle vulnerable logon ko, baaki baad mein!
