Football: Indian Team Needs Players Who Can Score Goals, Says Manolo Marquez
AFC Asian Cup: The Indian senior men's team arrived in Shillong on Friday, ahead of their first match of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers against Bangladesh (March 25). In preparation for that, the Blue Tigers will face the Maldives in a friendly on March 19, which is set to be a historic occasion as the Meghalaya capital will witness the Indian men's team in action for the first time.
On their way to the team hotel, Manolo Marquez and his men were greeted by large posters and advertisement boards in various parts of Shillong. The least surprising element of it was the return of Sunil Chhetri in the middle of all those posters. Who else could be the face when the legend is here himself? There will be debuts of sorts - Chhetri's 'second debut' for the country, while Meghalaya prepares to make its international debut.
Already on a high after hosting the Indian Super League for the first time this season, the arrival of the Indian contingent in the city has skyrocketed that buzz to the next level.
