Laishram Samananda, who won the Footballer of the Year award of Manipur in 2003, has observed that as the D-day is drawing nearer, people in Manipur more particularly football lovers and players, are becoming anxious to watch the matches of the ensuing FIFA World Cup, which offers great learning opportunity.
Speaking to Hueiyen Lanpaon, Samananda, who is also nick-named as Babu, said that we should not waste such learning opportunities from the famed International players.
This World Cup will be quite beneficial especially for the players.
As a player, Samananda said that most of the time he keeps thinking about the commencement of World Cup to watch the matches played by great teams and never consider it as some sort of amusement.
As a popular defending player of Manipur, Samananda said that playing Football in team is like a family.
While watching the matches, we should think and feel that we are playing in the World Cup match itself.
Concentrating during the matches will also help in finding what has been lacking in us while comparing with the playing skills, team formation as well as positions of the international players.
That way we could also rectify our own weaknesses.
We must look for the co-ordination of players and coaches throughout the matches.
Samananda maintained that lover for Football playing is gradually increasing in the state.
Like people gathering around to enjoy an amusement programme, people all over the state have started gathering to watch the game of Football.
Samananda, who won the best defender award in T.Aao Tournament, also played a great role as defending in Santosh Trophy for Manipur team.
At present he is playing for Sagolband United and MPSC.
Samananda started his career from Young Progressive Club, Takyel Kolom Leikai.
Samananda has much love for Lionel Messi of Argentina.
As a fan of Argentina team, he said that Argentina and Brazil will meet in the final match of the World Cup this time.
But host country Brazil has many advantages to win in the final, he added.
Samananda also appealed to the government of Manipur to ensure power supply throughout the matches of the much-awaited FIFA World Cup in the interest of Football loving people.
