 Indian football's future seems a little exciting suddenly and it has a Spanish tinge to it. I'm here with Kabir who has been signed by a Spanish third division club and Anuj Kupta of Suddeva FC as well as C.D. Olimpique de Sativa who has signed Kabir to play in Spain alongside two other players. So congrats Kabir, what are your feelings now? I'm excited for the season, it's a bit of a challenge but let's see, I think it's for the best. Anuj, three of your wards have broken through in a way to the first team of the club and what do you have to say of that, is it a vindication of your processes and your belief? I think firstly I wish Vijay was here, I really want to say that, Vijay, we had thought about it four years ago, I think the dream of the two of us has now begun. So in a nutshell I would like to say that when we started Suddeva FC in 2014, we really thought that one day we want our Indians to play in Spain and that today or this season it has happened. Now it completely depends upon these three boys how they will be able to perform, when that opportunity of playing in the first level comes in and I'm sure in a month's time they will get their chance and then personally I feel that destiny is in the making. That's quite a lot of pressure on you that everyone is looking at you and your two friends. By the way can you just introduce the other two players as well, he is the goalkeeper and the other two. Gogo, he is from Manipur, he is attacking midfielder and Kabir Naat, he's a right winger and I personally feel his Kabir's mother and father from Assam but they have been based in Gurgaon and Kabir is from Delhi, I think all the three are very close to me particularly Kabir and I always feel shorter as I always see that he is growing taller. It's always good to look up to someone, so yeah but when there are a lot of youngsters in the in your club set up also Suddeva set up as well who would be looking up to you, I mean not metaphorically but literally as well. So there's a huge pressure on you that way and also the additional pressure of being a goalkeeper in a fast paced game unlike India and also to make it to the playing 11 regularly. I think there's a pressure on us every time, there's a pressure on everyone, there's a pressure on him, on me, on everyone it's just we have to cope up with that pressure you know it's it's it's good to have pressure you know it helps you it helps you build a character you know helps you become more composed you know calm it's a good thing I see it in a good understand that you had a pre-season game a full game and then your coach from Spain we had a chat with earlier he was very excited about the saves you made and can you take us through the match and your feelings as well and whatever was going through your mind. I think we played a weaker team you know because it was a friendly match and the coach was giving chances to young young players like me so we had a weaker team and because it was a weaker team I got a lot of balls towards me I got a lot of chances so you know I just it was just in the game it was a good game indeed and you saved a penalty yeah I did so what went through your mind you're facing a Spaniard I guess I think I just knew where he's going to shoot so it was clear for me that's kind of like a I mean presence of mind in a way that the goalkeeper the young goalkeeper understands where he was going to go I mean that takes quite a lot of training or something like that so tell us what these boys have gone through in the last in the months that they have been in Spain which has prepped them so much so that they are confident about playing well in in the in the full season. I think you know I've always told one thing to all these boys that no matter what level you are playing remember one key word enjoy if you stop enjoying you will stop performing it doesn't matter if you had a bad day remember to forget but work towards your mistakes but in everything enjoy it as he rightly said taking pressure is also a way of improving so so so the the biggest you know thing which I tell them is remember no matter what level you reach always always always always always enjoy so if you keep on enjoying then you would realize that you have you are performing better than your expectations and so in the last one year what they've done is they've worked towards the language they work towards understanding the Spanish way of living what kind of food they eat and how they enjoy time when they're not playing football so it's very important to come out of football when you're not playing football because if 24 hours you're thinking about football it will not help you so it's always important to de-stress yourself when you're not in football so for instance they you know they love listening to music they love playing their brother ask him about the ways he enjoys yeah because he's a youngster obviously we'll have better ideas yeah I think there's a lot of things to do you know in the free time apart from football there are two training sessions in a day one in the morning and then one in the evening in between you know there's a there's an afternoon nap and then I have I have a few assignments I get usually get from university from my university and music is one thing we all love over there you know we always playing music and sometimes you know going out that's it that's pretty much it PlayStation not no no not PlayStation but we try to learn Spanish in the meantime you know trying to study Spanish I'm sure Anuja has imposed our curfew so there's no late night SS oh there is not actually that's bad about go go he's a fantastic guitarist so that is something which he does when he's not playing football house music oh I mean I think he's better I think he's a he's a good he's a good guitarist we often listen to him he's a good guy so this high speaking has been done in with the other Spanish players as such now I mean it's very evident from the way you are describing that you guys are a thick team the Indians who are there but what about your interactions with the with the Spanish crowd there and as in the other players and have they accepted you into as a family as their own or is there any barrier language whatever there is barrier language but as I said they're good people you know they're good they understand that we are coming from India we know that good footballing nation and they understand that they help you in the in the training sessions everywhere on and off the field they understand there's a language barrier yes but they they're supportive yeah they understand that as a player you're immediate and long-term goal I think to play for India is my only goal that is it and you know sustain myself and in that league or in the higher league in Spain and as a club owner your your immediate future what do you see and long term what do you see long term is obviously as Vijay and I always work towards is to produce international players from India who will take India to the World Cup that is the final goal and during that yes the immediate goal is to to produce players from India who can play for India at all age categories and then yeah at the right age we are able to take them to Spain and then they give them the Spanish system and so that they can start performing at the Spanish level and yeah hopefully maybe one day we'll be able to produce the one couple of Indians who can play for the top division in Spain so so yeah but it's but you mentioned I'm digressing it a little bit you mentioned about producing players who will play for India and take India forward but then it's it's ironic that a person who is good enough to be in the Spanish third division 22 has not been considered in the age group teams for India so how is that happening I think you know it's they just got in you know now it will depend how much minutes they get you know what are the match how well they do in the match so I think this year would be very important for them to perform at that level and yes I think next year if they perform well I think it'll be just a matter of time when all India Football Federation would love to talk to me about these players that's why I'm not in a hurry neither these boys should be in a hurry and yeah I mean so I think it's just a matter of time it's just like so there is the one more platform where Indian kids are able to get trained and get an opportunity so in a way it's it's really good for Indian football as well and I really want to tell to all Indian football clubs as well that if such opportunity comes in please let's not think that you know we all are competitors if we can work together it'll be really good for the upcoming footballers after all it's a team game so yeah on that note congrats Kabir again and it's I mean also all the best for the challenges ahead and congrats to and you've been doing some great stuff and hopefully more kids will follow thanks thanks
