Incheon (Korea ),
September 16 2014: Gaining momentum during the ongoing practice sessions
for the upcoming Asian Games 2014 at Incheon ,
South Korea
With the current developments, the goalkeeper and vice-captain
of the team, P R Sreejesh is excited to have defender V R Raghunath by his
side during the tournament to take his place at the time of need as the
back-up goalkeeper.
Preparing for the Asian Games, Sreejesh said, “The
practice sessions have picked up pace and the whole team is training
really hard to be ready to take on every challenge that is coming our way. The
new format of the game is actually going to act as an added advantage in
the field, as it will not only make the game much faster, but will also offer
time to the players to re-energies during every quarter to fight more
efficiently on the field.”
He further added, “Standing on the other side of the
field during the Commonwealth Games, I saw S V Sunil giving a tough time to the
opponents whenever he used to enter their D. It used to create a furore of
tension whenever Sunil was successful in penetrating through the opponents
defence. I look upto him to continue his Commonwealth Games form during
the Asian Games and help us keep the opponents on the toes.”
Recently adjudged as the ‘Junior Men Player of the Year’,
midfielder Manpreet Singh said, “The midfield position is a very important
place as we have to keep the speed intact and ensure that we support both
the defence as well as the forwards and personally if I am successful as a
midfielder, it is because of captain Sardar Singh. He plays a pivotal role
in the team as well as in the midfield position and he is the inspiration for
Danish, Dharamvir, Chinglensana and I.”
