Chennaiyin FC defender Vafa Hakhamaneshi believes that all the 11 teams in the ISL are top quality ahead of the upcoming Hero Indian Super League season. He is determined to help the club compete at the top after they have failed to reach the semi-finals for the last two seasons. Thomas Brdaric has strengthened the squad on all fronts including the singing of Hakhamaneshi.
“For the first time, a club called me to come here. I searched for Chennaiyin FC on the internet, I saw good stories, good fans, and [that they are] two-time champions in the Indian Super League. I came to help the team come back to the top level,” Chennaiyin FC defender Vafa Hakhamaneshi said. “Only 11 teams play [in the Hero ISL] but they are top teams. In Iran, one team will come to the Super League but won’t be at a good level. Out of 16 teams, only 12 teams may be good quality.”
“The Iranian league is so hard because there’s very little time between games. You won’t have time for a good recovery, to change tactics. In India, I think you have time before the next game to change your mind and tactics, to recover,” he added. “Yes, two seasons back, FC Goa tried to connect with me but I don’t know why we didn’t finish everything. There were two Indian clubs, Goa and I forgot the other, that sent me an offer. This time, it was Chennai.”
