Bengaluru FC captain Sunil Chhetri believes that the club has suffered the most without their supporters. After two years of restrictions due to COVID, fans will finally be back in the stands in the upcoming Hero ISL season. Chhetri believes that spectators create the right football atmosphere, especially in big games. The matches will be played in 10 different cities this season.
“The fans will have a massive impact this season, especially for us. I think all the teams have struggled not playing with the fans not being able to be at the stadiums. But if there is one team that has struggled the most, by far, it is us. So we are thrilled that the fans are coming back this season and it is the best news for a team like us,” Bengaluru FC captain Sunil Chhetri said. “I am looking forward to playing against Kerala Blasters FC. Just to play at the stadium against all the fans is an experience.”
Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC midfielder Lalengmawia Ralte is set for a two-week training stint in Belgium with sister club Lommel SK.
“Through our association with City Football Group, we knew it would open a pathway for players and coaches to have access to the Group’s collective resources and it brings me great pleasure to be able to see Apuia get the benefits of the technical expertise and know-how of our friends at Lommel SK,” Kandarp Chandra, CEO, Mumbai City FC said. “This is an indication that talent at Mumbai City FC will be furthered and nurtured within the Group and this can potentially open doors for others to gain a similar experience too. I want to thank our colleagues at Lommel and CFG for facilitating this training stint and we wish Apuia the very best for his time in Belgium.”
