BFC hungry to win Super Cup: Chhetri

At a time when the Super Cup has been hit by a raft of team pullouts, newly crowned ISL champion Bengaluru FC is set to put its best foot forward.

“We will go there not as a complacent ISL-winning team, but as hungry as ever to try and win the trophy,” declared skipper Sunil Chhetri.

“I know so many teams that have spent so much money but still don’t have trophies. So if we are in form now and we can win a trophy, we want to grab the chance. Because no matter how hard you work, you are never guaranteed trophies.”

Club CTO Mandar Tamhane echoed Chhetri’s words.

“When the coach spoke after the [ISL] final, he wanted to be the one who won two trophies in one year,” said Tamhane. “Every player shares that mentality. We have always played full-strength teams. People ask us about marquee players, but all the players who are on the pitch are marquee for us.”
