Modern-day football is not about sticking to one position, claims Manvir Singh
Indian fཧorward Manvir Singh feels that modern-day football is not about sticking to one position, just as he shuffles between the left-wing and right-wing positions. The ATK-Mohun Bagan FC footballer is now a regular member of the Indian playing XI, having made his international debut back in 2017.
Manvir Singh’s exceptional season with Indian Super League giants ATK-Mohun Bagan was characterized by the support provided to their marqu🎀ee stཧrikers Roy Krishna and David Williams. He finished the 2020-21 ISL with six goals and three assists to his name.
Currently in Doha, featuring in India’s World Cup Qualifieꦡrs, Manvir feels that that modern-day football is not about sticking to one position, just as he has been shuffled between the left-wing and right-wing positions.
“At the outset, I was an out and out striker. But a player needs to be flexible. Modern-day football is not just about sticking to one position and 🌟role. I have been playing on the wings – both on the right-wing and left-wing in recent times. I feel that has helped me understand the dynamics of a team’s attacking philosophy. It is a plus point for any player,” stated Manvir Singh, during an interview with the AIF🌱F.
Having played in 20 matches for the national side so far, Manvir has netted four times with the last strike co💖ming by virtue of a clinical header against Oman in a friendly, earlier this year. Howevꦍer, he is yet to score a goal in the ongoing WCQ but has shown great intent.
After a 2-0 win over Bangladesh, the ജBlue Tigers will play their last match of the campaign against Afghanistan, on Tuesday. Ahead of the all-important clash, Manvir feels that they need to sustain the momentum gained from the previous match. A draw will be enough to ensure India finish at the third spot in the Group E of the qualifiers, behind leaders Qatar and second-placed Oman.
“We need to sustain the momentum gathered in the match against Bangladesh and even in the 0-1 loss against Qatar. B🧸ut everyone is aware that all of that is past. The match on 15th is a fresh canvas. We need to🍬 paint it the right manner. The coach has been constantly working with us. We need to pay him back,” added the ATK-Mohun Bagan star.
