The story about Avyay and Daman, making it to Nike’ World Top 20 Future Talent list is half true. Chating with Avyay on a popular social networking site this morning, he said that all the information that's been published in your blog as well as goal.com is incorrect.
Avyay, who is currently in Belgium on a weeklong trial with Anderlecht confirm that Daman never went to Liverpool FC. From the best of my knowledge, Liverpool FC conducted a clinic in India, which both I and Daman attended, along with a large number of other kids. It was not merit based and just a community venture so it's no real big deal.
Secondly, my going to Anderlecht has nothing to do with Nike. I was at Anderlecht last year because I sent them an e mail and they invited me. I am right now with Anderlecht for my second trial, but it has nothing to do with Nike. We haven't even been contacted by Nike also.
He also added that I and Daman are among the Top 20 most popular players in the competition, but not the "best" ones. However Avyay, you both are already the best ones for us and keep the good works going as the Indian football fraternity looks upto ypu guys to take us to the world stage. Daman however could not be traced for comments.
Good Luck……
Thanks Babua
