Key Players in InterContinental Cup

  1. Sunil Chhetri: Sunil is like an old wine; he is still delivering on the big stages and will obviously play the most important role in leading and dominating the blues. This prolific striker scored 85 goals in international games, and I hope he will also deliver for his team this time.

  1. Liston Colaco: India’s best winger is always ready to deliver for his team, and he is a different breed in the blues; the winger had a bad season for the Mariners in Hero ISL, but he showed a spark in Super Cup and promised for a potential comeback. He will obviously play one of the key roles for Stimach.

  1. Apulia: This versatile midfielder is the key in the midfield; his vision and technical sense will help the team dominate the midfield and help team India succeed.

After the injury of Glan, Manvir, Yasir, Roshan it won’t be an easy task to grab the victory. Still Indian team can achieve big. You can read more here.

Conclusion:

All the teams will use their powerhouse, which will be a battle of the different visions, philosophies, and styles. Though as I have analyzed above, we can see the strength and weaknesses.
Indian midfield will make the difference, but the defense should be solid and without errors. While other teams will show the prowess of their attacking strength.
As the Intercontinental Cup unfolds, we anticipate witnessing the team’s performance as they strive to etch their name in footballing history.
