#3 Marquee players adapting to the game
Except for Chennai’s Falcao, the other players in the tournament are international Football legends. For football players to adapt to the fast-paced shorter version could be a tough task. However, most of the players have fit into their teams seamlessly.
The importance of a marquee player’s performance is vital for a team’s morale as the youngsters feed on their confidence. If the most popular player in the team is not confident himself, he is not going to be in a position to inspire his comrades to perform better.
