A letter to every Indian Football Fan!
(Share it if possible and Tag your football ⚽️ following friends)
The reason to write this letter to every Indian Football fan, is because I could relate to the pain it feels when you are standing, protecting the goal post, and you have no option but to get the ball out of the net as the opposition team celebrates.
To be true, I might not know the current players playing in the league, I might not even know how the league table stands for EPL or La Liga. I might have not watched all the matches of my favourite club in the recent past. But all I know is I have supported a single club for last 19 years. We went 9 years without champions league and time when Barcelona screwed us at our home. Undoubtedly they were unstoppable then. But what mattered was the belief in the team.
Today our team India needs, a belief to build like Manchester United, stadiums filled like Dortmund Fans. Celebrations and support like Iceland Fans. We need Fans like Arsenal who still support for a better result. We need Fans like Liverpool at least they still await every year for the 19th title. They might not be the top teams, but to be fans of a team like them, needs a heart.
I somehow managed to watch TV after long time last week, to see all the games of India U17. When we scored an equaliser I exclaimed my emotions with a mandatory “BC” and spilled a tear the next minute.
These emotions are unexplainable but every football fan knows it, no matter he has played football or not.
Our team needs a lot of improvement, but trust me when it came to dedication and commitment they have it all!
All I ask my Indian Fans is, let’s not criticise them, but pass Love to these potential footballers and the ones who are aspiring to play for India.
We couldn’t live our dream to play for India, but brothers you go and do it again and again for years to come.
Lots of Love
Another of the billionth Indian Fan
