NEW DELHI: With the All India Football Federation (AIFF) scampering to control the damage following their president Kalyan Chaubey's admission of overlooking the inclusion and entries of the three senior players for the Asian Games, many within the Football House, while alluding to the "immaturity" of their chief official in this regard, are busy fighting off the impression that the president is not on the same page as the rest of his team.
Pointing out that responsibility of picking the national team and deciding its composition always stays with senior coach Igor Stimac, not including senior captain Sunil Chhetri, defender Sandesh Jinghan and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu in the players' list sent to the Asian Games on July 15, rested on a tricky matter of their availability due to the back and forth over the team's participation in Hangzhou.
