Arindam: - Oho! Viewers! You people are already sitting in front of your TV sets to watch our program of ‘Fantastic Football Fever’ in your favorite ‘Royal Bengal Tigers (RBT) ‘ TV Channel. Well, there is a famous saying in India that ‘If Brazil has Kaka, then India has Dada’. Now, who is this Dada? Hmm…let us find it out from our guest of today’s episode. He is sitting beside me in this studio. Accha, who is this Dada?
Saurav: - Dada is my nickname. People call me Dada worldwide. My real name is Saurav Chandi Ganguly.
Arindam: - Your name is also Chandi?
Saurav: - It is my father’s name. As his son, I bear his name also.
Arindam: - Are you a South Indian?
Saurav: - No, I am a Bengali person. If I would have been a South Indian, then my name will be Behala Barisha Chandi Saurav Ganguly….ha ha ha…after all, in South India, people add their birthplace name and father’s name in their own name.
Arindam: - Anyway, forget that topic. Accha, which football team is your favorite in this World Cup of 2010?
Saurav: - Is there any other team, which plays better than Brazil? Of course, I am a die-hard fan of Brazil. Kaka, Robinho, Fabiano and other Brazilian footballers are just fabulous. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Romario were also good footballers.
Arindam: - Hmm…Dada of India is a fan of Kaka of Brazil. That’s great. Ok, let us hear from Mr. ARINAN about the match between Brazil and Chile.
Mr. ARINAN: - The Red Hot Chile footballers were looking like Cool Cucumbers. What kind of spikes, the Chilean strikers were wearing is still a mystery, because, at least for 7 times in that match, the Chilean strikers were stumbling with the ball after receiving it in the Brazilian penalty area. The Maicon’s shot was too perfect for Juan to score the first goal for Brazil with a header. After that first blood, the Brazil team never looked back. Fabiano got an easy chance and converted it to a goal. Robinho scored the third one. Again, Kaka was shown the Yellow Card. Chile never looked like a team with any rhythm in this match. They were playing mindless football. Only for 2-3 instances, Cesar was really challenged; otherwise, it was just another cool day for the Brazilian goalkeeper. The Samba people defeated the western neighboring country of Argentina by 3-0.
Arindam: - Oh! Brazil has qualified for the quarter final. You must be a very happy man, Mr. Ganguly. Accha, have you ever played football in your life?
Saurav: - Ha ha ha…many people don’t know that in my childhood days, I used to play football only. In my school also, I was famous as a footballer only. My elder brother, Snehasish used to play cricket in Barisha playground and occasionally I used to watch him practicing at the nets. I always had a dream that one day; I will play for East Bengal football club. But, suddenly, in my youth days, I started playing cricket and then never looked back at all.
Arindam: - What? You are not a Ghoti. You are a Bangaal. That’s so sad. I am a Mohun Bagan supporter, that’s why; I am very disappointed to know that you are a supporter of East Bengal. Anyway, that’s your personal choice. Accha, you were one of the best captains of Indian Cricket. You were on the verge of lifting a World Cup for India. But, still, the Mumbai lobby started pouncing on you, because you hail from Eastern zone of India and that too from Bengal. Marathi people always try to bully the Bengali people. But, still you continued your fight against them, even when you were having bad patches as a batsman. The biggest blunder you did was to select Mr.Greg Chappell as a coach of Indian Cricket Team. The middle-fingered maniac and pervert, Mr.Chappell soon got transformed into a ‘Great Australian Chappall’ for the Indians. Ultimately, you won the battle. You came back to the International Cricket with a bang. Hardly, the world cricket has seen such a comeback in the past. That’s why; you are still the ‘Dada’ of India.
Saurav: - Ha ha ha…well, how I can forget those days! I should have played a football match against Chappell, though he would have got the Red Card within 5 minutes of the match, but, at least, I would have scored 5 goals in that match.
Arindam: - Australians are racists. Basically, they are the goons of Britain only, who were kept as captives in the Australia Island. Accha, why is India not doing well in football? Still, the FIFA ranking of India is 133. You have played football in your childhood. Still at this age, you play some charity football match also. So, you have a good idea about this game. What is wrong with Indian football in your opinion?
Saurav: - It is not that India does not have good footballers, but, somehow, they don’t get proper coaching and opportunities to excel further. In Cricket, BCCI is a very organized body, which controls and co-operates with all the state level Cricket Associations of India. But, AIFF is not as efficient as BCCI. There is lack of effective co-ordination between AIFF and the state level football clubs. Unless there is a demand for good footballers, the supply of players will not come. There is IPL, that’s why; there is a demand for cricketers. So, all school children automatically get motivation to play cricket. But, in football, only Goa and Bengal people have some spirit towards the game, otherwise, no one cares to play football.
Arindam: - Hmm…I got your point. Thanks for coming to our show, Mr. Ganguly. Viewers, we will end our show here, but stay tuned for some more minutes because Mr. ARINAN has something to say regarding the match between Netherlands and Slovakia.
Mr. ARINAN: - the Dutch man, Robben robbed the match from the Slovakians by scoring a goal with his left footed shot. Later on, the Dirk Kuit gave a superb pass to Sneijder and Sneijdar did no mistake to score the second goal. Slovakians forgot to play that attacking game in this match, which they played against Italy, the defending champions. The Orange men won the match with 2-1 score line because in the last 20 seconds of the match, Vittek scored a penalty goal for the Slovakians.
