“Five or six years ago when you were talking about Indian Football, many didn’t feel much. I feel it’s very important at this stage that the clubs work in the Academies and make their players aware about such a massive competition as the Champions League,” Ferrando maintained.
Referring to his players not being nervous at all, Ferrando expressed: “In the training sessions, we just kept reminding the players about the significance of the AFC Champions League almost every day.”
“We told them to pay attention as this isn’t easy. We told them to pay attention as these are difficult games. We also told them to control their emotions. It was important to believe in yourself,” he explained.
