Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Mumbai, Coach Stephen Constantine says the Indian football team has done enough in the last few years to merit a decent crowd turnout, and begging for support was one thing it did not deserve. Constantine was asked about skipper Sunil Chhetri’s impassioned plea urging people to come and cheer the team in the ongoing Intercontinental Cup.
As the discussion turned to crowd at the press conference after India’s emphatic 3-0 win over Kenya, witnessed by a huge crowd, Constantine said, “Look, I have said it before and I don’t feel that we should be begging people to come and watch the national team.
“The response today was unbelievable… But the national team is playing in the manner, we’ve been playing for last three-and-half years, and the things that we have achieved in three-and-half years.” From 2000 for the game against Chinese Taipei, the number of fans swelled to almost 9000 for last night’s match, pretty impressive for a stadium that can accommodate around 10000 people.
