Anthony Wolfe: Cornell Glen encouraged me to come to India
By Neil Modi (goal.com)

The Churchill Brothers’ star was pleased with his form as he played an important role in his team’s Federation Cup triumph…

Churchill Brothers won the Federation Cup for the first time in their history by beating Sporting Club de Goa 3-1 in the final last weekend. It came much to the delight of everyone associated with the club, as they currently sit at the bottom of the I-League.

Anthony Wolfe, who made his debut for the Red Machines in the Federation Cup, explained how the winning the Cup competition will motivate the team to perform better in the I-League where they are placed at the bottom of the table.

‘‘I am pretty happy that we won the Federation Cup. We were going into the Federation Cup more as underdogs because we are at the bottom of the table in league. I think it’s a great achievement for the club, players and for the supporters as well.

“It encourages the supporters to come watch the team when the team play the next home game and stuff but I think it’s more of a motivational step for us in the I-League where we aim to come from the bottom of the table to at least finish fifth-or-sixth at the end of the season. So I think winning this cup was very, very important for us as players. I think we trained hard and responded on the field and no one disrespected each other.”

The Trinidad and Tobago striker, who was part of his country’s 2006 World Cup squad, has set some personal targets for the rest of the season.

“I set myself personal goals. Firstly I want to help the team come up from the bottom near the middle, at least out of the relegation zone. I set myself a target for eight goals, like six6-to-eight goals for the season because as I just said I just came here.

“Hopefully next season it will be more goals and that’s for sure because I’ll be more in tune with the culture and stuff. Because as a foreigner coming into a new team it takes a while as some players adjust quickly and some take a while. The language will take a while. It will take me the next two-or-three games as well to really get going but I think coming in pretty okay, good start, getting my goals and assisting as well. I assist and score but I am a team player - whenever anything is required I do what I have to do to get the job done.”

Wolfe explained as to what made him sign for the Goan giants who are known to release the foreign players should they fail to perform up to the level demanded by the management. Add to this, Churchill Brothers sit rock bottom of the league with 13 points from 10 games. He mentioned of having spoken to fellow Trinidadian Glen Cornell who plays for Shillong Lajong before joining the reigning I-League champions.

“The reason why I asked Cornell was because he was here before me so he had a better idea about the league and the clubs because playing at the clubs you hear different things from other players. So I asked him what he thought about taking the deal and he said it’s all about the opportunity and the team is at the bottom of the table, they are reshuffling players, because the foreign players are not doing that well and the team is at the bottom. So the owner is getting rid of them so it’s a great chance for me. I just have to come and prove myself and get the job done and I took the opportunity and so far things are going well.”

He had kind words for the Churchill Brothers team and management and praised the overall effort put in.

“I feel comfortable. I feel a family bond. No one disrespects each other. The staff works their socks off to put things in place for the players. So if the staff does that, no doubt players will get the job done for the team .So that’s like a chain reaction -You give nothing you get nothing-That’s life. You have to give to get. And if they do their part, we’ll do well like we showed at the Federation Cup.”

Wolfe scores fifth goal
T&T Express Reports.

ANTHONY WOLFE scored his fifth goal of the season since joining Indian club Churchill Brothers in January and what an important one it was.

Wolfe scored a 64th minute winner as Church Brothers won 2-1 away to New Radiant at Rasmee Dhandu Stadium in the Maldives yesterday in an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup tie.

It was also Wolfe’s third goal in the competition which gave 32 clubs from developing Asian nations a chance to grab two spots into the 2015 Asian Champions league.

Victory gave Churchill Brothers second spot in Group E and a place in the round of 16, just edging out Singapore club Home United, who also finished on 10 points after scoring a 2-0 away win over group winners Persipura Jayapura, an Indonesian club. In the end, just Wolfe’s goal proved the difference since his team advanced with a plus-three goal difference, compared to plus-two for Home United.

Also in the last 16 is Vietnam club Hà NOI T&T, the club of Trinidad and Tobago international Hughtun Hector, who played the full 90 minutes as his team rallied from a goal down to edge Indonesian side Arema Cronus. However, both teams filled the top spot and advanced as the top two Group F finishers.

Anthony Wolfe set to move to Sporting Clube de Goa
The Times of india

Sporting Clube de Goa appear to have narrowed down on Trinidad and Tobago World Cupper Anthony Wolfe as their marquee player for the season.

Sporting Clube de Goa have just two foreign players at the moment with Australian striker Boima Karpeh (Jerry) and Spanish defender Pablo Gallardo completing their transfers. The club still needs two more players to complete their foreign quota, and Wolfe is expected to help the club breathe a little easy in the next 48 hours.

"Wolfe has already applied for his visa. He should be here in Goa soon," said one Sporting Clube official.

Wolfe qualifies as the marquee player having represented his country at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Wolfe, 29, was contracted with Churchill Brothers and was among the more impressive players, even though Churchill struggled for most part of the season. His control with the ball and ability to run into open spaces caught everyone's attention.

"Wolfe is a good player but he was surplus to requirement at the club. We have released him to join Sporting Clube," said Churchill Brothers boss Churchill Alemao, who opted for Nigerian striker Odafa Okolie as his lone foreign striker upfront.

Churchill Brothers are still hoping they will be around when the next edition of I-League kicks off in January, next year. A pending High Court hearing is scheduled in Delhi on September 23, and should there be positive news for the club, Churchill said he would immediately hunt for another marquee signing.

Anthony Wolfe to spearhead Churchill’s attack on Sunday
By Minoo Fernandes (The NavHindi Times)

Trinidad and Tobago striker Anthony Wolfe will spearhead Churchill Brothers Sports Club strike force when the team plays Mumbai FC in their first home game at the Tilak maidan in Vasco on Sunday.

Wolfe, who was known for his marauding skills upfront in the past, has started practice with the team and is expected to fill in the vacuum the team faced in their opener against Mohun Bagan in Kolkata.

“Anthony Wolfe will be the only new addition to the team. I will field the rest of the players who played against Mohun Bagan,” Churchill Brothers SC coach Alfred Fernandes told The Navhind Times.

“Our team is determined to settle for nothing less than a win and the boys are ready to go and play flowing football as was exhibited against Mohun Bagan in Kolkata the other day,” added coach Alfred.

“I had to use Brandon Fernandes and Agnelo Colaco to play forward. Agnelo nearly scored. Has his shot entered the nets, we would have returned home with a crucial point. Agnelo came in as a substitute. We needed a striker very badly and now that Wolfe is with us, I expect a different game,” stated Alfred. Alfred Fernandes disclosed that striker Kromah from Mali, Liberia is supposed to join the team in addition to Krygistan defender Baktur. “We will be having three foreign players in action soon. The approach will definitely be different,” stated Alfred.

He also disclosed that at present the team has registered only 21 players and that 14 more players will be signed to make it a strong 35 member squad. Four of these will be foreign players, while the rest will be mostly from Goa, asserted the Churchill Brothers coach.

“In our opener, we played with as many as nine Goan players,” said Alfred. “Our focus will be to recruit more Goan players to make it a Goan fan based team and this is the motto of the management,” disclosed Alfred.

“We are definitely going to win the match on Sunday. We are there to win all matches but sometimes plans do not materialse. But with Wolfe joining in, the other players will have plenty of room to manoeuver,” disclosed Alfred.

“Keenan is a brave captain and should be playing on Sunday. He is recovering after receiving three stitches on his head. He is under medical observation and should be practicing with the team at Ambelim ground today,” Alfred said.

“Sunday will be the day when all our fans will witness some exciting football which has not been seen in Goa for many years. We are getting ready to give our best,” stated Alfred. I think defender Satish Singh and goalkeeper Priyank had a great game against Mohun Bagan and I expect them to continue giving their best,” concluded Alfred.
