&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Jerry Lalrinzuala&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (born 30 July 1998) is an Indian professional [[association football|footballer]] who plays as a [[defender (association football)#Full-back|left back]] for both the club [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] and the [[India national football team|India national team]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Born in [[Mizoram]], Lalrinzuala started playing football from the age of five.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Young&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Prasad|first1=Vishnu|title=Meet Jerry Lalrinzuala, ISL&amp;#039;s youngest player|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/football/2016/nov/18/meet-jerry-lalrinzuala-isls-youngest-player-1539843.html|access-date=7 December 2017|work=New Indian Express|date=18 November 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His father – a police officer who played for army football teams – and his mother did not want him to get into football and wanted Lalrinzuala to go to college.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Young&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &amp;quot;I took to the game when I was five. But my parents did not like me playing. They wanted me to study,&amp;quot; said Lalrinzuala. He would attempt to attend football trials behind his parents back but was caught once by his father.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Young&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Club career==&lt;br /&gt;
Lalrinzuala was a part of the [[AIFF Elite Academy]] and Bethlehem Vengthlang of the [[Mizoram Premier League]] before signing with [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] of the [[Indian Super League]]. He joined the AIFF Elite Academy in 2012.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Extra Motivated&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Indian defender Jerry feels `extra-motivated` playing against foreign players|url=https://www.aninews.in/news/sports/football/indian-defender-jerry-feels-extra-motivated-playing-against-foreign-players201805241416570002/|access-date=24 May 2018|work=ANI News|date=24 May 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In early 2016, Lalrinzuala was one of five young footballers to be sponsored on their training stint with [[FC Metz|Metz]] in France.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Three u-19 players to train with FC Metz|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/three-u19-players-to-train-with-fc-metz/article8506518.ece|access-date=2 October 2016|work=The Hindu|date=22 April 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Bethlehem Vengthlang FC defender thar Jerry Lalrinzuala|url=https://www.inkhel.com/post/bethlehem-vengthlang-fc-defender-thar-jerry-lalrinzuala|access-date=7 December 2017|work=Inkhel|date=19 October 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chennaiyin===&lt;br /&gt;
After impressing Chennaiyin&amp;#039;s first-team staff in pre-season, he was included in the squad for the season. He made his professional debut for the team on 2 October 2016 in their opening match against [[Atlético de Kolkata]]. He came on as a 73rd-minute substitute for [[Nallappan Mohanraj]] as Chennaiyin drew the match 2–2.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Atletico de Kolkata vs. Chennaiyin|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2016/10/02/india/indian-super-league/atletico-de-kolkata/chennai-titans/2348844/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 13 October 2016, in only his third appearance of his career, Lalrinzuala was awarded the &amp;quot;Emerging Player of the Match&amp;quot; award after Chennaiyin&amp;#039;s 2–0 victory over [[FC Goa|Goa]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Mulder, Wadoo goals help Chennaiyin FC to their first win of the season|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/4354-mulder-wadoo-goals-help-chennaiyin-fc-to-their-first-win-of-the-season|access-date=13 October 2016|work=Indian Super League|date=13 October 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Lalrinzuala then earned the first assist of his career on 23 October against [[FC Pune City|Pune City]]. His long-ball to [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] was lobbed into the net by the [[India national football team|India]] international as Chennaiyin went on to draw the match 1–1.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=V|first1=Harikumar|title=Chennaiyin FC&amp;#039;s variety in attack stood out against FC Pune City|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/isl-2016-chennaiyin-fcs-variety-in-attack-stood-out-against-fc-pune-city-3068612.html|access-date=30 October 2016|work=FirstPost|date=24 October 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was then awarded his second &amp;quot;Emerging Player of the Match&amp;quot; award in the next match against [[Kerala Blasters FC|Kerala Blasters]]. Chennaiyin drew that match 0–0 as Lalrinzuala ended his first month as a professional playing six matches and starting four of them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Chennaiyin, Kerala share points after goalless draw in south Indian derby|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/4650-chennaiyin-kerala-share-points-after-goalless-draw-in-south-indian-derby|access-date=30 October 2016|work=Indian Super League|date=29 October 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 December 2016, after a rocky November, Lalrinzuala ended his first professional season with Chennaiyin by scoring his first professional goal from a free-kick in the 4th minute of their match against Goa. The goal gave Chennaiyin a 1–0 lead, which unfortunately ended with Chennaiyin losing 5–4. Despite the defeat, Lalrinzuala was still praised for his performance and also earned his fourth Emerging Player of the Match award for the season.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Goa win nine-goal thriller against Chennaiyin|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/5258-goa-win-nine-goal-thriller-against-chennaiyin|access-date=1 December 2016|work=Indian Super League|date=1 December 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the season, Lalrinzuala was given plenty of praise for his performances with Chennaiyin. Chennaiyin assistant coach [[Syed Sabir Pasha]] stated &amp;quot;Jerry is a boy with natural talent. I know him from a very long time and knew about his quality. He impressed Marco from the very first day of training. He has a great left foot and is very comfortable on the ball. He has improved his defending but most importantly he is a humble boy with great character. Even when he makes mistakes, he is not scared to continue playing his game. This is a very important attribute to have. He has a very bright future.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Prasad|first1=Vishnu|title=Jerry &amp;amp; Co make most of limited chances in ISL 3|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/2016/dec/07/jerry--co-make-most-of-limited-chances-in-isl-3-1546405.html|access-date=7 December 2016|work=New Indian Express|date=7 December 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The accolades continued to come in for Lalrinzuala as he was awarded the ISL Emerging Player of the Season award after the [[2016 Indian Super League Final|ISL final]] on 18 December.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Jerry Lalrinzuala Emerging Player of the Year|url=https://twitter.com/ChennaiyinFC/status/810534840630059008|access-date=18 December 2016|work=Chennaiyin Football Club|date=18 December 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====DSK Shivajians (loan)====&lt;br /&gt;
On 20 December 2016, after his debut season with [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]], Lalrinzuala was loaned to [[DSK Shivajians F.C.|DSK Shivajians]] for the [[I-League]] season.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=DSK Shivajians sign Jerry Lalrinzuala, Sanju Pradhan|url=http://www.oneindia.com/sports/football/i-league-dsk-shivajians-sign-jerry-lalrinzuala-sanju-pradhan-2295924.html|access-date=20 December 2016|work=One India|date=20 December 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He made his debut for the side in their opening fixture of the season on 8 January 2017 against [[Mumbai F.C.|Mumbai]] at the [[Cooperage Ground]]. He came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for [[Saša Kolunija]] as DSK Shivajians fell 1–0.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Mumbai 1-0 DSK Shivajians|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/01/08/india/i-league/mumbai-fc/dsk-shivajians/2383737/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the [[2016–17 I-League|I-League season]], after playing 18 matches for DSK Shivajians, Lalrinzuala earned the Best Emerging Player of I-League award.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;I-League Emerging&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Chhetri voted best player of I-League|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/chhetri-voted-best-player-of-i-league-117050201030_1.html|access-date=2 May 2017|work=Business Standard|date=2 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 8 May 2017, Lalrinzuala made his [[Federation Cup (India)|Federation Cup]] debut for DSK Shivajians, starting in a 4–0 defeat against [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mohun Bagan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=DSK Shivajians line-up vs. Mohun Bagan|url=https://twitter.com/dskshivajians/status/861563553215528960|website=DSK Shivajians Football Club (Twitter)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; DSK Shivajians soon exited the tournament at the group stage and thus Lalrinzuala&amp;#039;s loan with the club ended.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=DSK Shivajians 2-3 Shillong Lajong|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/05/12/india/federation-cup/dsk-shivajians/lajong-sc/2447668/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2017–18 season====&lt;br /&gt;
On 19 July 2017, it was announced that Lalrinzuala had been retained by [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] for the [[2017–18 Indian Super League season|2017–18]] season as a capped under-21 player.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=200 plus Indian Players Vie for Ten ISL Clubs selection|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/press-releases/5587-200-plus-indian-players-vie-for-ten-isl-clubs-selection|access-date=19 July 2017|work=Indian Super League|date=19 July 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He started during the team&amp;#039;s first match of the season against [[FC Goa|Goa]]. He started at left-back for Chennaiyin as they were defeated 3–2.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Chennaiyin 2-3 Goa|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/11/19/india/indian-super-league/chennai-titans/india-fc-goa/2597746/?ICID=PL_MS_03|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite the defeat, Lalrinzuala earned the ISL Emerging Player award for his performance against Goa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Goa edge Chennai 3-2 in a game of two halves|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/goa-edge-chennai-3-2-in-a-game-of-two-halves|access-date=23 November 2017|work=Indian Super League|date=19 November 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Lalrinzuala once again won the ISL Emerging Player award after Chennaiyin&amp;#039;s very next match against [[NorthEast United FC|NorthEast United]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Chennai go top of the table with resounding 3-0 win over NorthEast|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/chennai-go-top-of-the-table-with-resounding-3-0-win-over-northeast|access-date=23 November 2017|work=Indian Super League|date=23 November 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the first month of the season, Lalrinzuala formed a formidable partnership with fellow defenders, [[Ignacio Calderón]], [[Maílson Alves]], and [[Henrique Sereno]], keeping two cleansheets from their first three matches.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Karunakar|first1=Virendra|title=Chennaiyin FC coach John Gregory not bothered about Jeje Lalpekhlua&amp;#039;s lack of goals|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/isl-2017-chennaiyin-fc-coach-john-gregory-not-bothered-about-jeje-lalpekhlua-s-lack-of-goals|access-date=7 December 2017|work=SportsKeeda|date=6 December 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He continued his good start to the season on 3 December 2017 when Chennaiyin took on [[FC Pune City|Pune City]]. He started the match and helped Chennaiyin to keep a clean sheet as they won 1–0.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Pune City 0-1 Chennaiyin|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/12/03/india/indian-super-league/pune-city/chennai-titans/2597758/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also earned the Hero of the Match award for his performance, his first time earning the Indian Super League top match award.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Marar|first1=Nandakumar|title=Mumbai City FC&amp;#039;s Balwant Singh on the loose|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-mumbai/mumbai-city-fcs-balwant-singh-on-the-loose/article21286751.ece|access-date=7 December 2017|work=The Hindu|date=7 December 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the regular season, after Lalrinzuala had played in 17 of his side&amp;#039;s 18 matches, Chennaiyin finished in second and thus qualified for a spot in the [[2017–18 Indian Super League finals|ISL finals]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Delhi Dynamos end Mumbai City FC&amp;#039;s semi-final hopes with thumping victory|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/isl-2017-18-delhi-dynamos-end-mumbai-city-fcs-semi-final-hopes-with-thumping-victory-4369919.html|access-date=8 March 2018|work=FirstPost|date=27 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He proceeded to start in both legs of Chennaiyin&amp;#039;s semi-final match ups against [[FC Goa|Goa]].

After his performance in the final, Lalrinzuala earned the Emerging Player of the Match award as he won his first piece of silverware in his career.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Chennaiyin FC beat Bengaluru FC 3-2 to win ISL 4 title|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/live-blogs/bengaluru-fc-vs-chennaiyin-fc-football-live-score-isl/liveblog/63346733.cms|access-date=31 March 2018|work=Times of India|date=17 March 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2019–20 season====&lt;br /&gt;
Jerry stayed at the Marina Arena for his 4th season. He was on the sidelines for the first half season after getting criticism for being very error-prone. He earned his left-back spot back after [[Owen Coyle]] was appointed the new manager of the side, and played a crucial role in the team as Chennaiyin made a late resurgence and qualified for the playoffs on the final day. He got 2 assists in the semi-final first leg against [[FC Goa]], whom Chennai managed to win 4-1 at home against all the odds. However, he was unable to win the ISL trophy, as his side were beaten 3-1 by [[ATK (football club)|ATK]] in the final.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==International career==&lt;br /&gt;
Lalrinzuala has been a part of the India national youth set-up since joining the [[AIFF Elite Academy|AIFF Academies]]. His first bit of international exposure came in October 2012 as part of the AIFF Regional Academy based in [[Kolkata]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Japan&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=AIFF Academy Team lands in Japan|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/aiff-academy-team-lands-in-japan|access-date=28 April 2017|work=SportsKeeda|date=8 October 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In July 2013 he was made part of the [[India national under-17 football team|India U16]] side that would participate in the [[2013 SAFF U-16 Championship]] alongside future [[Chennaiyin FC]] teammate [[Anirudh Thapa]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Squad announced for U-16 SAFF Championship|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=5062|access-date=28 April 2017|work=The All India Football Federation|date=16 July 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 30 July 2013, during the final against hosts [[Nepal national under-17 football team|Nepal]], Lalrinzuala scored the only goal of the match from 35-yards out to earn India the championship.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=India win SAFF Under-16 football title|url=http://www.rediff.com/sports/report/india-win-saff-under-16-football-title-jerry-lalrinzuala-wim-kovermans/20130730.htm|access-date=28 April 2017|work=Rediff|date=30 July 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After leading India&amp;#039;s triumph at the SAFF U-16 Championship, Lalrinzuala was included in the India U16 side for the [[2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualification|2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Chaudhuri|first1=Arunava|title=AIFF announce India Under-16 squad for AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/india-under-16-squad-for-afc-u-16-championship-qualifiers|access-date=28 April 2017|work=SportsKeeda|date=18 September 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite a good start during the qualifiers, including two victories and a draw in their opening three matches, defeat to [[Kuwait national under-17 football team|Kuwait]] 2–1 in the final match meant that India failed to qualify for the tournament proper.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=AFC U16 Championship qualifiers|url=http://footballnewsindia.in/tag/afc-u-16-championship-2014/|website=FootballNewsIndia}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Almost two years later, in August 2015, Lalrinzuala was called-up into the [[India national under-20 football team|India U19]] squad that would participate in the inaugural [[SAFF U-19 Championship]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=22 shortlisted for SAFF U-19 Championship 2015|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=6637|access-date=28 April 2017|work=The All India Football Federation|date=17 August 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite helping the side reach the final against [[Nepal national under-20 football team|Nepal]], India couldn&amp;#039;t win the championship as they fell 5–4 on penalties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=SAFF U-19 Championship: Nepal ‘keep home the bacon’ beating India 5-4 in tiebreaker|url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/sports/saff-u-19-championship-nepal-keep-home-the-bacon-beating-india-5-4-in-tiebreaker/|access-date=28 April 2017|work=The Himalayan Times|date=29 August 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2017, after his performances for both Chennaiyin in the [[Indian Super League]] and [[DSK Shivajians F.C.|DSK Shivajians]] in the [[I-League]], [[India national football team|India]] head coach [[Stephen Constantine]] called Lalrinzuala up to the senior team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Senior National Team to Camp in Mumbai|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7923|access-date=27 March 2017|work=The All India Football Federation|date=28 February 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He would be part of the 31 player preparatory camp that would be preparing for India&amp;#039;s first [[AFC Asian Cup]] qualifier against [[Myanmar national football team|Myanmar]] and their friendly against [[Cambodia national football team|Cambodia]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=India Team Lands in Yangon for the &amp;#039;Bigger Challenge&amp;#039;|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=8004|access-date=27 March 2017|work=The All India Football Federation|date=25 March 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After the camp, it was announced that Lalrinzuala had made the final 24 man squad for those two matches.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Sriram|first1=Ramachandran|title=Stephen Constantine announces 24-man squad for Cambodia and Myanmar matches|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/136/india/2017/03/18/33762022/indian-national-football-team-stephen-constantine-announces|access-date=28 April 2017|work=Goal.com|date=18 March 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite being included in the squad for both matches though, he didn&amp;#039;t see any playing time in either game.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Myanmar 0-1 India|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/03/28/asia/asian-cup-qualification/myanmar/india/2400172/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Cambodia 2-3 India|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/03/22/world/friendlies/cambodia/india/2413771/|website=Soccerway}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lalrinzuala was given his senior international debut by Constantine on 6 June 2017 when India took on [[Nepal national football team|Nepal]] in a friendly at the [[Mumbai Football Arena]]. He came on as a 64th minute substitute for [[Narayan Das (footballer)|Narayan Das]] as India won 2–0.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=India 2-0 Nepal|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/india-vs-nepal/2426999/live-commentary|access-date=6 June 2017|work=Goal.com|date=6 June 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
