Sunil Chettri said on the match against Pakistan to be held in SAFF, said- It happens between the two teams…..

The Indian football team will take on the Pakistan team on the opening occasion of the South Asian Football Federation Championship ie SAFF. Whether there is a match between India and Pakistan in cricket, hockey or football, the thrill of these matches is seen at a different level. In the match between India and Pakistan, both the teams enter the field with only the intention of winning and defeating the other team.

 

The teams of India and Pakistan will once again face to face. The first match between the teams of India and Pakistan for the SAFF Cup will be played from 7.30 pm. Regarding this match, Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri said that as soon as the referee blows the whistle to start the match, the atmosphere of the entire ground changes. Everything turns from normal to hostile.

 

Sunil Chhetri said that he has played many matches against Pakistan. The relationship between the players of both the teams is very good before and after the match. The players of both the teams behave like friends. But the situation changes dramatically between the two teams as soon as the referee blows the whistle upon reaching the ground. He said that this behavior is by default in him and other players of the team. It is involved in both our countries, we do not want to lose against them under any circumstances.

 

It should be mentioned that this time two groups have been divided in the SAFF Championship. In this Group A includes Kuwait, Nepal, India and Pakistan. On the other hand, Group B includes Lebanon, Maldives, Bhutan and Bangladesh. In the SAFF Championship, Pakistan will face India on June 21, Kuwait on June 24 and Nepal on June 27. This is also the first football match between India and Pakistan since September 2018. In the previous match, India had defeated Pakistan 3-1 in the semi-finals of the SAFF tournament. Pakistan’s arrival for the tournament was surrounded by uncertainty due to delays in the issuance of visas. On Monday night, the Indian High Commission in Mauritius finally cleared all pending applications, paving the way for the Pakistani team to travel to India for the tournament. The Pakistan team was in Mauritius to participate in the four-nation tournament which was won by Djibouti.
