Rejuvenated Chhetri relishes busy month ahead as India begins road to Asian Cup

The Hindu  

Ahead of the Intercontinental Cup next month – starting marker for India’s preparation for the Asian Cup early next year – Sunil Chhetri, a fox in the opposition penalty box, appeared at his sharpest in front of the camera while facing the questions thrown at him. The short break, according to him, has seen the national team boys come back refreshed and recharged, after the gruelling club season, where Chhetri’s club Bengaluru FC played every single match possible. To minimise mistakes at the Asian Cup, Chhetri feels sooner the head coach Igor Stimac narrows down on his starting XI and who his 14 are, the better it is for the team. Expectations from India’s next star forward: Sivasakthi One player who Chhetri knows will ‘knock on the right doors’ is his club teammate and striker Sivasakthi Narayanan, who was left out of the squad after the training camp earlier this month.
