He also referred to the football scenario in Europe,saying that the standard of the game in Europe leapt to great height after they introduced a premier league.  He said “We will have to think about such type of league, if we want the game to improve. We are in discussion with All India Football Federation in this connection”. He also said that it is essential to do proper background work to achieve this goal.
