Indian football is certainly looking for a turnaround. With the World Cup qualifiers round the corner, the Indian team is expected to perform well and live up to the expectation of the fans. Newly appointed coach Stephen Constantine is quite hopeful about the performance of the side as some fresh talent have emerged.  It is time to nurture the upcoming talent in Indian football and make it one of the best and highly successful teams in Asia. 

Abhisekh Yadav, the former Indian striker has been appointed as the Scouts Director of the national team and has been provided with the responsibility of scouting talent from different levels. It is very important to identify the players with potential from an early stage and provide them with the necessary back up. 

Indian football needs to excel at the international stage and the role of the scout director is quite a pivotal one. Abhisekh  Yadav has showed his class as one of the finest strikers in Indian football and won the LG Cup for the nation with his golden goal winner. 

The scouting network plan has been devised by present coach Stephen Constantine in order to get the best football talents from the different parts of the country.  Although Constantine is the mastermind behind the plan, Yadav has been provided with the responsibility of networking with the regional scouts. When a player is getting picked for the national team, it is very necessary to have precise information about the potential of the individual.

 

Here the role of the local scout has a very important role to play.  As per Constantine, a variety of reasons have played a pivotal role in picking Abisekh Yadav as the national scouting director. Yadav has greatly contributed for the success of Indian football over the years and has a comprehensive understanding of the game. 

Constantine rates him very highly and hopes that he can procure raw talent from different parts of the nation.   Yadav possesses the ability to communicate well and also has a very high technical understanding of the game.  As per the scouting network which has been devised, several things needs to be kept in mind for the overall development of the game in the country.  A scout needs to have several attributes for finding the right players.  Identifying the players  for the right position is quite important for the scout. 

It is imperative for the scout to know the  philosophy of the coach and exactly what type of players he is looking for. The national and the regional scouts should maintain a regular interaction with each other in order to get the best outcome.
