The Delhi Senior Division League has already kicked off and come Wednesday, the football aficionados of the capital will see Hindustan Football Club in action at the CWG Sports Complex in Akshardham.
Hindustan FC open their campaign against Youngmen FC in the second match of the 3rd day to kick start at 2:45 PM.
Bonjour, the number one player in socks which has been keeping millions of feet happy has tied up with ‘Hindustan Football Club’ for the mega football league ‘DLF ONGC Senior Division Annual Football League -2013’, for promoting their Sports Socks range. The association of Bonjour with Hindustan Football Club will provide Bonjour with a platform to promote & showcase their wonderful sports range of socks. The teams will endorse the Brand and BONJOUR sports products would be available at all the matches venue. Apart from a superior range in sports socks , BONJOUR also has special socks for football.
The team has been practising at the Thyagaraj Stadium for quite a time now and judging by their play, they definitely look a champion material. But what determines a winner in a football match is how one performs in those stipulated 90 mins and boys in the HFC know how crucial that particular 90-min is. They are ready to give their best.
Puspender Kundu, who will be leading the team, was all exude in confidence. “We are a different side all together this time and we will come hard at everyone right from the beginning. We are not going to take anyone likely and will go for the kill in every match. We want to win and for that a good start to the tournament is very necessary,” warned the skipper.
The 65-year-old club is a mixture of experience and youth, a combination which have proved to be a success around the world. HFC had just followed that tried and tested formula in building their squad this time.
Under the bar, the experience Rajat Guha is likely to take charge along with Amit Negi and Amit Sharma, who will be backing him up.
Giving cushion to the trio in the defence will be the skipper Pushpender Kundu himself along with another experience player in the form of former JCT player Prashant Jaggi. The youth force in the likes of Anil Bara, Manoj Joshi etc. will assist the experience guys in the backline.
In the middle of the pitch, the star attraction will be former Mohun Bagan captain Rishi Kapoor, crafting his skills and creativeness to help the strikers. He will have Kamson Kabui, Jagdeep Singh and others to help him out.
And finally, in the most important position – Forward, Hindustan FC will have their Nigerian recruit OO Sola. The onus to score goals for the side will be shared by Abhay Rana, Deepak Mehra and others other than the Nigerian.
It now remains to be seen, how HFC combines all their strength, skill, expertise and experience and put them to use in their first 90-minute test on Wednesday, 18th December 2013 at the CWG Sports Complex.
