India’s football team assistant Trevor Sinclair has compared Sunil Chhetri’s killer instinct with the likes of Wayne Rooney. Chhetri is regarded as one of India’s finest players of all time and has consistently delivered for the team over the years.
Chhetri, 39, is still fit as a fiddle and he is going strong at the top level. The veteran has an insatiable hunger to keep going for the national team and has done a fantastic job over the years.
In an interview with RevSportz, Trevor Sinclair said, “I have played with a lot of good players like [Jermaine] Defoe, [Les] Ferdinand, [Wayne] Rooney, Michael Owen and they all had that killer instinct. Sunil is no different.”
“He is a class act! I only know him for few days and he is a serious character, serious about winning, competing, and training at his best. He is dependable. When you need just that one moment of magic in the final third, his finishing, he has already showcased to the world.”
The former Manchester City winger added that the current group of Indian players are really hard-working and he is noticing them heading in the right direction.
“Very professional, respectful, and hardworking group. I am joining a project that has already started and I have seen that straight away. Discipline in the group, standard of training and it is not a dream job for me as a lot of hard work in this group has already been undertaken.
“I am feeling very privileged and can only see this Indian team get better and better from here. Spirit and belief are there, and there are some leaders in the group who set standards for the young players.”
India will take on Australia in their opening match of the AFC Asian Cup on 13th January.
