Igor Stimac: I-League has something which the ISL does not have, tradition. You cannot buy it

India senior team head coach Igor Stimac did not mince words when he was asked to voice his thoughts on the two top tieer leagues of Indian footbal, i.e. I-league and the Indian Super League (ISL).

"We need to work together. The ISL is a privatized league and the owners who are investing money will expect to get the money, which is normal. I-League has been there for many years and I-League has something which ISL cannot buy. That is tradition. You cannot buy tradition. It will take 100 years to become a traditional league for ISL.
