New Delhi, Feb 22: Several factors have led Minerva Punjab FC to be one of the title contenders in the ongoing Hero I-League season and one of them has been their wing back Abhishek Ambekar, who is now harbouring dreams of 'playing for India'.
"Playing for India is my ultimate dream. Nothing can be better than representing one’s country," Ambekar said in a statement here.
Having featured in every match this season for Minerva, Ambekar attributed the team's success to the unity of the side.
"We are on top of the table now. Our pre-season work has paid off and the team has gelled quite well. Our success is due to the fact that we are playing as one unit, rather than just individuals. We hope to keep the momentum up in the coming matches. We have a couple of tough encounters ahead. So, the winning attitude needs to continue," added the cricketer.
"Every match is difficult, but I feel the toughest for us this season has been the away game against Aizawl FC. The crowd is very loud and the team is very difficult to break down. Even East Bengal came back from two goals down and as luck would have it, we are playing these two sides next,' he further expressed.
With three games to go, Minerva Punjab FC are breathing down table-toppers NEROCA FC's neck with two games in hand and two points adrift of the Manipuri outfit. The upcoming games are going to determine how this season ends.
"The whole team understands the importance of these two matches and is ready to give their heart out on the field," concluded the 26-year-old. UNI
