Summary:

SHILLONG: Bollywood actor and owner of Indian Super League (ISL) franchise NorthEast United FC John Abraham , believes in grooming for home-grown footballers, rather than signing 30-plus have-been international stars. At the NorthEast United FC and at the Centre of Excellence we want to co-develop young girls as well as boys. NorthEast United FC could be any other team tom-toming about big signings, but that is not going to be our focus. I rather not look back, but look forward and see the advantages that I have with Shillong United. NorthEast United FC was very new in the first season..
