” They are just starting. They have what it takes. I am trying to bring them up to standard, ” Baraje told Complete Sports of his players.
” We have a young vibrant Chairman who has a lot of good plans for the team. If he is patient with the boys, barring any challenges, l want to see if l can bring something out of this crop of players,”
” As l said, if the management is patient with the boys, in two years they will go to the continent. The boys l have now, if l use them for only this year, next year I reinforce and the success story will be told,” Baraje remarked.
