It is that time when you can count the number of days to our kick –off on one hand. The last lap of preparations are on in the FC Pune City camp, with our warriors raring to get the action started. In 5 days, these players will be up against some of the best in the world, carrying the hopes of millions on their shoulders. It surely must send a chill down their spine? If anything, the players look pumped up for the battle. When you are charged up because you know that your moment has arrived! With #5DaysToGo, we asked 5 of our players- What would you be, if not a Footballer?Here we go!Joaquim Abranches- The strong centre forward has dazzled past oppositions with his skills and hunger for goals. He is used to leading the line when it comes to attack and hence, if not a Footballer, he would have been a Politician leading people to welfare!Ashutosh Mehta- Tall, dark and bearded. Any prizes for guessing what the alternate profession would have been? Girls, watch out for this poster boy midfielder of FC Pune City, who would have loved to be a Model if not a sportsman!Lenny Rodrigues- Lenny grew up in Goa- playing beach football near the shacks and occasionally taking breaks to bite into a succulent roasted crab or two! Goans are famous for their love for Football and Food and if Lenny weren’t playing professionally- he says he would have been a Chef!Manish Maithani- Loyalty is the trait that best describes Manish. A midfielder dedicated to strive the last mile for his team, Manish’s top priority has always been serving his country! If not a Footballer, he would have been in the Indian Army.Israil Gurung- Short, direct and very pacy. This is the lasting impression that Israil Gurung leaves you with. He is very quick to read the game and is always full of energy. No doubt then, that Israil says he would have been a Table Tennis Player if not a Footballer!Check out all our players on http:/www.indiansuperleague.com/fc-pune-city/squad.Want to know any 4 things about FC Pune City?
