After experiencing an off-season like nothing he has had in twenty years, Sunil Chhetri tackles the next ISL season. Although he is unfamiliar with the term “former India player,” it appears that the nation’s top goal scorer on the global stage is becoming more at ease with it.
He doesn’t see himself giving up football entirely anytime soon, which is the main reason for this. On the eve of his 22nd season as an elite footballer, Sunil Chhetri told ESPN, “I’ve always said that when I feel like I have anything left to give, I will give it away as well as that’s my incentive to keep going.” “I feel compelled to continue helping. My adventure with Bengaluru FC continue because I feel fit.”
After taking some time off from the game to spend precious time with his a year of age, Sunil Chhetri is returning to Bengaluru FC to take attention of some unfinished business. Bengaluru FC takes on East Bengal towards their ISL opener on Saturday night at the Sree Kanteerava Complex. After an awful season the previous year, the player and the team both have nothing to prove. This type of mentality has continually inspired the best soccer players in India.
We are working hard to ensure that this season is one memorable for this club & its supporters, who deserve another championship, he stated.
Sunil Chhetri is in charge of Bengaluru reconstruction initiatives: The captain is keen to make the most of his time on the pitch since he knows he does not have much more football left in him. “My goal is to continually challenging myself and, by extension, everyone around me. The goal is to recover. We tested ourselves in the Durand Cup, and the results were encouraging,” he stated.
Even though the summer has been different, Chhetri noted that many aspects haven’t changed, such as the fact that he was one of the best Bengaluru performers in the preseason physical.
It’s been laborious work; the preseason was really technical. The club has experienced several changes, including the arrival of numerous promising new players.” Sunil Chhetri anticipates that this shift would work in Bengaluru’s favour this season, since the team is still stinging from their worst-ever ISL season, where they finished 10th and gave up more goals than any other team in the competition outside of Hyderabad FC. Therefore, Sunil Chhetri is really motivated for this ISL season even if he is no longer on the national the team.
“That we haven’t won the ISL in five years is something that motivates me and all of us at the club,” added the captain.

Bengaluru’s combination of youth and expertise: Bengaluru recruited well during the summer, bringing some serious firepower to its the attack. Jorge Pereyra Diaz, like Alberto Noguera, has transferred from Mumbai City to Bengaluru, while Spaniard Edgar Mendez has a strong background.

Vinith Venkatesh’s efforts in the Durand Cup contributed to Bengaluru’s excitement for the new season. “He is a young lad with his head resting firmly on his shoulders.” He’s appreciating spending time with his initial squad, and we intend to give him time and room for growth and progress,” Chhetri added.
Vinith has been with Bengaluru ever since the club’s beginnings a decade back & is the sole true domestic player on the first team, which Chhetri claims the organisation is very pleased of.
