Delhi Dynamos international star Alessandro Del Piero said earlier this week he has already been impressed by the talent of young domestic players in India. He likes what he sees in India and is 100 percent invested into the ISL, financially and in principle.

One of the main goals of the ISL was to get India to a competitive level internationally. Despite a population that loves the game, the talent produced domestically has been sub-par.

"I have seen some really good players, who are prepared to listen and give their 100 percent in every training session," said Piero. "By the time the season ends, they will have a good opportunity to improve and raise their game to a higher level."

Hearing such words from Del Piero is an important part of the league's growth. He ranks second among Italians in all-time goal scorers (345) and is a World Cup champion. His analysis of the sports market in India is pure gold - the ISL is in good hands with such marquee internationals.
