Midfielders
Right midfielder: Luciano Narsingh
Luciano Narsingh, whose grandparents were contract workers from India, will be operating down the right flank. The 26-year-old winger, who plays for PSV Eindhoven, has also represented the Dutch national side 16 times and has scored four goals. The creative fast winger who has played for PSV in the UEFA Champions League will be the focal point of this team’s attack.
Central midfielder: Oscar Sonejee
Oscar Sonejee, who has Indian roots and a large fanbase in Mumbai, is the captain of the Andorran football team. He also holds the record for most number of caps for his nation with 106 appearances to his name and currently plies his trade at Lusitanos. The 40-year-old defensive midfielder will add his experience in the line-up and will be key to breaking down the opponents’ attack.
Central midfielder: Harmeet Singh
Harmeet Singh, who was born to Indian parents hailing from Jalandhar, is a Norwegian international. The central midfielder can thread deft passes for the forwards and can also contribute defensively. The Norwegian Iniesta, as he is known in Europe, has made seven national team appearances and is the ideal partner for Sonejee in the middle of the park.
Left midfielder: Furdjel Narsingh
Luciano’s elder brother Furdjel Narsingh has played for clubs like AZ Alkmaar, Volendam,Telstar, PEC Zwolle and SC Cambuur. The lesser known Narsingh sibling was also a product of the PSV academy but failed to secure a first-team spot and moved to other clubs. The skillful and pacey winger will add some much-needed width to the team.
