It feels great that we also stay in that list. It\u2019s a known fact that unless we play regularly on FIFA dates, we won\u2019t be able to improve our rankings,\u201d he opined. \u201cThe team spirit in the Nehru Cup was commendable. We need to stick together as an unit and we will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boys who arrived via Kolkata had a light stretching session in the afternoon under the watchful eyes of National Coach Wim Koevermans.
