Manolo Marquez, head coach of the Indian national football team, raised his eyebrows when he decided to leave 40-year-old Sunl Chetri from the fight against Bangladesh. However, the Spanish coach said that his reason was clear: Chetri’s inner form and lack of goal for the national team.
With 12 goals, this is the highest rating of Chhetri in ISL. He scored more goals in 2024-25 than the previous two ISL seasons.
“Sunil is the author of the High Indian goal of ISL, in practice double goals (12) than the next player, which is Brison (7). After that, they are subordinates: Irphan, mandrir. Everyone here is in the national team with us. We need players who score goals. So far, we have only scored two goals in my four games, one of them from one piece. “
The national team had a nightmare of 2024, where they could not win one of their 11 matches. Croatian coach Igor Igorian has been an attempt to experience revival under Marquez, who also failed to break the team of losing four of their defenseless games.
On Wednesday, India is preparing for the Maldives at the Bangladesh meeting on Wednesday. It will also be a historic opportunity, as the Meghlla capital will witness the Indian men’s team for the first.
India is placed in a group next to Bangladesh, Hong Kong and Singapore, and only the advancement of the best team is promoted. Marquez knows that winning meetings are the only solution.
“At the moment, the most important thing is to get results. Nothing is different, “he said, to some extent, not to return to justice.
India will hope to play in Shillong will give them an advantage. The following is exceptional and a packed crowd is expected.
Defender Sandesh Jhingan, who had a great season for FC Goa, said it was very good to play there.
“As a nation, we will play in Shillong for the first time, and it is always an interesting prospect, especially the Meghllian state that has a lively football culture. We look forward to playing here.
“Our main goal is to get the result in the Bangladesh game, as it will be a good start in the Asian Cup qualifiers, and I think the 10-day course will greatly help us to prepare for it. Our target is a victory of two clean newspapers, “said 31-year-old children who earned eight clean newspapers in ISL this season.
