Former India captain Sunil Chhetri said he will watch the national team’s upcoming matches against Brazil and Uruguay with “a little jealousy”, as he never got such an opportunity during his nearly 20-year international career. India face five-time world champions Brazil in Kolkata on October 3 before playing Uruguay three days later. Chhetri urged the current generation to make the most of the opportunity. The 42-year-old also called on players, coaches, officials and the media to stop blaming one another for Indian football’s problems. He said everyone must take responsibility and work together to improve the sport. (PC: India Today)
