NEW DELHI: Suresh Singh speaks with a certain degree of confidence, both on and off the pitch. The quick footed midfielder has been a vital clog of the Indian U-17s midfield and with less than a week to go for the first ever FIFA World Cup to be hosted by India, Suresh can \u201conly think about playing on October 06\u201d, when India face USA.<\/p>\n
In a detailed chat with www.the-aiff.com, Suresh talks at length about his journey, the FIFA U-17 World Cup and a lot more. EXCERPTS:<\/p>\n
How has the journey been?<\/p>\n
It has been a fantastic journey right from when I started playing football to my last training session. Each and every moment of it has been special and I wouldn\u2019t change a thing of the process. I am here today because of my journey and I will be forever grateful to my father, a businessman, for letting me choose football when my mother wanted me to be an officer. Perhaps, this is also one way to serve your nation.<\/p>\n
How helpful has the AIFF been in your journey?<\/p>\n
The player I am today is because of AIFF. The Coaches I trained under in the AIFF Academies taught me a lot about football and helped me through every step. They taught me how deal with pressure and most importantly how to be a better person every day.<\/p>\n
With less than a week to go for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, how excited are you?<\/p>\n
All I can think about is the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the match against USA. I am very much focused on giving my cent percent on October 06.<\/p>\n
How happy were your parents when you were selected in the final squad?<\/p>\n
My parents were on top of the world when I got selected. It was a special moment for my family as well because finally I was there where I always wanted to be. My father was very proud of my achievements and so was my mother, it was a happy moment for all of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
