The match was tough but we overcame it and emerged winners.Your team is at the top of the table, how do you feel about that?Yeah, it’s just been four games and it’s still a long way to go so we shouldn’t be over-confident. But we’ll still try to give our best and play the same.The ISL has done a lot for Indian football as you can see, do you see it progressing?Yes I do, it’s given Indian footballers an opportunity to give their best and expose football to others. The foreign players also have a lot to teach the local players.
