Abhijit Sarkar looks to renew WC brotherhood & rivalries in ISL

New Delhi, Nov 23 : Abhijit Sarkar, who is about to begin his maiden season in the Indian Super League for Chennaiyin FC at the Tilak Maidan in Goa on Tuesday, is looking forward to renew brotherhood and rivalry with his former FIFA U-17 World Cup teammates at the ongoing tournament.
Sarkar has steadily progressed through the ranks from the AIFF Elite Academy to Indian Arrows, followed by a stint in East Bengal last season, before finally landing up in Chennaiyin for the current campaign.
“It’s a new team for me. So it took some time for me to adjust to the new staff and new teammates. But day-by-day, I have become comfortable with everyone, as all my teammates have been very accommodating,” said Sarkar as per the-aiff.com.
“We are sweating it out every day, and I’m really excited about the start of the ISL,” he added.
The 20-year-old has fond memories with his former India U-17 and Indian Arrows mates, many of whom have themselves signed for different ISL sides.
“I really miss those days when we were all training together for the World Cup. I miss all my friends from that team. They’re all like my brothers,” recalled Sarkar.
