The Indian Super League have surely grown over the years and the quality have football is getting better and better each year. However some of the rivalries and local derbies over the years have been intense right from the first whistle and players just go at each other with everything they’ve got in them. Be it a header, winning second balls, 50-50 tackles or last ditched challenges.
After a caution from the referee some players are able to restrain themselves from making a mistake as they are running on a tight rope and are one mistake away from being sent off. While other players just go all out for their team and therefore bear the consequences of being sent off given the intensity of the games.
