In the past week, there has been signs that Branko is trying to change himself and the way he runs TM.
His list of TM players reveals some star IPL player (as well as some under-performers of course). I have seen 3 live interview-shows on TV and he has constantly said that he is going to give value to IPL and those TM players who are not performing wont get the chance again if they continue to play weak in their clubs. He is also accepting more criticism, smiling more, answering more precisely and being the Branko we knew before the Asian Cup.
We saw the first signs of this in the training yesterday. Navidkia, Alavi, Nekonam played reserve and all the player were constantly reminded that they need to pick up their game since they will not be chosen for the WC if they dont perform. Although players like Daie, Golmohamadi, Nosrati, Kabi and Mirzapor are his favorites, from what I am hearing, he will have no problems putting them out if they deserve it, in the next couple of months.
Lets be honest, Our situation isnt looking good. We havent had friendlies. We still dont know out starting 11 and there are alot of divisions and criticism in TM. But the least Branko can do is come to his senses and come in terms with the press and the people and change the atmosphere of TM and attract full support of the scoiety. This is the least a NT can do for the WC.
I think we will see the reform I am speaking about in the TM lineup vs Costa Rica and Taiwan.
