The Gokulam midfielder and the ‘player-of-the-match’ in the deciding game gets felicitated
His ponytail bouncing, his feet glued to the ball, the swiftly moving Emil Benny provided one of the most fascinating images of this season’s I-League. The 20-year-old was a revelation. He was adjudged the ‘Best Emerging Player’ of the league that concluded at Kolkata last Saturday. And he was the ‘player-of-the-match’ in the deciding encounter against TRAU. On Friday, the midfielder was felicitated at a function at Kalpetta, where he went to school and blossomed as a promising footballer. Emil could be pardoned if he thinks he is living a fairytale at the moment.
