I think East Bengal is right in not releasing the players. After all the club has spent a fortune in bringing a foreign trainer and his services have to be fully utilised. Also this will help them to regain fitness. An unprofessional body like the AIFF which has no prior schedule cannot force a club to release its players for national duty anytime they feel. I know a country is bigger than a club. But when the football in the country is run listlessly by some idiots, its office bearers should be taught a lesson.
