BENGALURU: Sunil Chhetri, who is fondly called as ‘Captain Marvel’ by others, goes a bit emotional while summing up yesterday’s 1-0 win against the Kyrgyz Republic. The stupendous striker termed this win as ‘Our best performance by far in a long time.’<\/p>\n
“I’m part of the National Team for more than 10 years. Trust me, I don’t remember when did we play such a fantastic brand of football last time.”<\/p>\n
The Sunil Chhetri-led side lacked the panache in the first 45 minutes and Sunil Chhetri, who earned the MVP award last night for his match-winning performance, revealed, “We got a heavy bashing from the gaffer in the dressing room. Clearly, the situation wasn’t an ideal one. That’s why, when we came out for the next 45 minutes, it was a changed side, more focused and more promising.”<\/p>\n
Although his goal made the difference, he denied taking the entire credit for netting the winners against Myanmar as well as the Kyrgyz Republic.<\/p>\n
“Last day it was Udanta, tonight it was Jeje- had they not made the scintillating run to feed me with the passes, those goals would haven’t seen the daylight. It’s not about me, it’s about the team.”<\/p>\n
“My goal might be the cherry at the top but the credit goes to all. Right from Gurpreet, the tenacious defenders, Midfielders- everyone fought to their limit to churn this result”, he added.<\/p>\n
Sunil divulged more that ‘there’s nothing bigger than putting on the National Colour.’<\/p>\n
“We don’t need any extra motivation. We always come out of the dressing room with same hunger. We have to keep improving ourselves to churn out the positive results.”<\/p>\n
He went on to rate yesterday’s goal as a crucial one and he won’t mind putting it ‘right up there.’<\/p>\n
He maintained, “Accumulating the importance of the goal, the timing and where it has come for the team- it’ll surely be stacked up right up there. I know, I have said it more often but trust me, this goal has gotten us these three points. It’s really huge for us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
