On this auspicious day(and I still lost my match), we, the LXM Daily are proud to present, the exclusive interview with none other than...... League Assistant Sunny1234!!!
He's a man who needs no introduction, I'm sure, but for the record, he's one of the most hard-working and committed guys you'll meet. Football runs in his blood, you could say! And he's been a manager and a great help here at LXM through all times- good and bad.
He spared enough time, even in his busy schedule, not just in xpert eleven, to give us a look into the xpert eleven world, of Sunny1234...

Hello, Sunny1234. Thanks for talking to the LXM Weekly! We hope you are not interrupted by our small interview.
Sunny1234- Oh, not at all. Glad to have you here.
We've just finished Season 4, you finished 4th in LXM 1a. How do you rate your performance last season?
Sunny1234- Our performance last season was just below average.We were hoping for promotion or at least a 2nd place finish in the season. But our season start was very poor. We lost to Crucifiers 4-0 in the first match which made to force us to buy a high profile defender. Then after a few wins, we lost 2 matches against Mighty Reds and then again at the end of season we could only gather 1 point out of possible 9. We were not at all consistent in the league. But I must admit my boys played pretty well apart from the first match. We didn't give more than 2 goals in any of the matches.We also played some fantastic football in few matches to record big wins against a few clubs. Even in the cup match against Viva Kerala, we were the better team, but they progressed just because of the away goal. We were very disappointed with that.
Every season, we all expect great things from your team, but yet, not got the results. Why do you think this has happened?
Sunny1234- Yeah, every season our club was expected to do something great but there has always been some or the other problem in each season. In season 2 of the league when our club had arrived, I had just started my managing career. My club had played some good football against our big rivals that season- The Achintyans and Top Guns, but I made some poor team selection and our tactics didn't help us either against the weaker teams in the league. That cost us the 2nd spot in the league which could have meant we could have gained promotion.
Even in the second season, we didn't had a very good change report and I didn't have the time to manage my club properly because of Personal reasons. And this season, we didn't have very good defenders. I was forced to play 2 of my bright future defenders Danny Simpson and Rio Ferdinand for almost all matches. Also,the average age of the team was not quite good. We had to play most matches with an average age of 23 or 24. But rather than making excuses, I will try to take my team to the next level and hope for a better upcoming season.
Can you promise it will change next season?
Sunny1234- Well, I cant promise anything right now. I hope it will change. But anything is possible, the new managers are very good and it will be again tough for us. But I and my team are fully confident that we can come in top 3 this season.
The team name seems futuristic, "Legend Killers", do you think the legends of Sparks, Viva Kerala and of course, Bad Boys will be at your mercy in the coming seasons?
Sunny1234- No, It will take few more seasons.
What's your basic transfer policy? What type of players do you like? Maybe if you could name some special qualities you like.....?
Sunny1234- I like to buy young players. I have just bought maybe 1 or 2 players over the age of 26. The young players give a new dimension to the game. But it is important you have a good mixture of youth and old in your team. Currently, I am just looking to give my youth players a chance this season.
Hmm.....I prefer midfielders who are intelligent and quick and Forwards who have a good shooting power.
Who all do you hold high with pride in your team? Your favourite player in the team, if any.
Sunny1234- Stephan (van Heijswijk) has developed a strong bond with the team since he arrived last season. Also Peter Kenna is a player everyone would want to have. He has a great finishing.
All players are my favourites.
Favourite manager in the entire league?
Sunny1234- Taimoor(Taimoor08), Bad Boys manager.
Favourite PLAYER outside your own team? And why?
Sunny1234- Maurice McDonald from Real Madrid-Champs because he is a very good midfielder.His passes are terrific and he is one of the main players in Real Madrid's success.
Do you have a rivalry with any team? If so, which???
Sunny1234- No, no rivalry with any team yet.
Let's talk about your official team. Sunday Boys, a strong one for a Classic League Division 6 team. Defence is the best offence, I see, when I look at your team. Some REAL quality players, nice mix of youth and experience. Quite a midfield as well. What are your plans there?
Sunny1234- I am looking to develop a very good side there. We have some quality players in my team. My team just got promoted in the 6th division. So my main aim for this season is to avoid relegation and probably push for promotion next season.
We ask everyone this- tell us a little about the person Sunny1234. Age, Occupation, Family, hobbies... A little bio-data in short.
Sunny1234- My name is Abhishek(no one knows about it I think). But my friends and family members call me Sunny. I have just turned 17 a week ago. I am currently studying in 12th standard. Our family consists of 4 members........ Me, my dad, my mom and my li'l bro. My hobbies are to watch football and do chatting. I am a very big Manchester United fan and I hope United do the treble this season.
And may luck be with them, and you. Thank you, Sunny, a lot, for talking to LXM Daily. We hope to see all of your teams grow into strong title contenders, wherever they aren't already!
Sunny1234- MY pleasure. Be sure to visit again, some day...
