Watching a full-strength Bayern Munich team play against the Indian team will be a lifetime opportunity for football fans and Indian players alike, says the coach of the Indian football team, Savio Medeira, about the forthcoming Audi Football Summit.
The exhibition match, a farewell for Indian football icon, Baichung Bhutia, will see the 22-time German champion FC Bayern Munich take on the Indian national team at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on January 10.
A part of the tickets proceed will go to assist the quake-affected people in Sikkim, what are your thoughts?
It's a very good effort, and I hope that people in Sikkim will benefit from the ticket proceeds of this match.
What does it mean for the Indian team to play against FC Bayern Munich?
It's a lifetime opportunity for players to play against one of the best club in the world.
It will attract a lot of people. It doesn't happen often in Indian sports. Whatever the result may be, it will be history in the making for the Indian players to be part of this exhibition match.
Your thoughts on Baichung and his contribution to Indian football?
I have been saying it for quite some time now that no one can replace him. He has done a great job for the clubs and for the Indian national team.
Do you see a successor for the 'Sikkim Sniper' amongst the current players?
At the moment, I see a bit of potential in Sunil Chhetri to be Baichung's successor, but he has a lot of football left in him and as I said it's difficult to imagine anyone taking Baichung's place in Indian football.
