India senior team head coach Igor Stimac did not mince words when he was asked to voice his thoughts on the two top tieer leagues of Indian footbal, i.e. I-league and the Indian Super League (ISL).
"We need to work together. The ISL is a privatized league and the owners who are investing money will expect to get the money, which is normal. I-League has been there for many years and I-League has something which ISL cannot buy. That is tradition. You cannot buy tradition. It will take 100 years to become a traditional league for ISL.
