The Lions do not have the best mood in the camp ahead of the play-offs with a certain players engaged in dispute over their contractual payments...

Ahead of the crucial semi-final clash against FC Goa on Friday, Delhi Dynamos are embroiled in resolving internal issues as opposed to focusing on field.

According to sources close to Goal, marquee player-manager Roberto Carlos is engaged in negotiations with the club management over contractual payments. It is reliably learnt that there is a difference of interpretation of gross and net wages.

Dynamos officials are busy contending to resolve the above mentioned issue with their players.

A planned shoot with a sponsor was cancelled and the official version of the story being that the Brazilian contingent of the squad, namely Vinicius, Gustavo Dos Santos and Chicao alongside Carlos weren’t a part due to it being in “Hindi.”

It is also learnt that Carlos only attended the scheduled training session of Tuesday for a short period while another source within the team informed of two Brazilians having skipped the practice altogether for reasons unknown.

Also there were several meetings held by the club on Tuesday with players demanding for a bonus having made it into the semis. However, according to sources within the club, the Indian players do not have a clause in their contracts which stipulates that the franchise is obliged to adhere to payment of bonuses. However, this isn’t true in the case of foreign players.
