to india to really cement strong foundations with world footballyou could play only 11 matches for jamshedpur fc because of injury but how was the overall experience in indiaamazing it wasnt just about football it was just as much about off the field in my interactions of helping the club develop stronger professional ties with my knowledge as a footballer who played four world cups premier league and around the world we were three hours away from an airport and i was training twice a day helping players to really make the most of this opportunity i loved it it grounded me to live so close in the village with local families to see thousands of people at the stadium travel around understand the culture the food the logistics of travel it opened my eyes in a whole different level i was really blessed to have such a brilliant career to share with my teammates and also clubs i had played against in india it was really groundingthe isl started with big names like robert pires zico alessandro del piero and roberto carlos you were the last real bigname player to play here what does india need to do to attract the big gunsindia has so much going for them they have the infrastructure fans stadiums and amazing facilities the structure of the games and formatting of the league needs to suit the players more games they play the more professional things can be it takes time you have to build those levels and you really have to continue to progress and attract those names and at the same time attract players who will help grow the league and not themselves individually i think the league is fantastic
