Following India’s match against Chinese Taipei, Sunil Chettri uploaded a video on Twitter, where he asked his fellow countrymen to share and show their support to the team and the sport.
The video went viral in a matter of minutes and it has now been viewed half a million times all over the Internet. The 33-year-old captain, who is the third highest goal scorer in international football among active players just behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, pleaded his fans to show some support on the ground and not just on social media.
He said “To all of you, who have lost hope or don’t have any hope for Indian football, we request you to come and watch us at the stadium. Abuse but make us feel relevant. I mean it’s not fun to criticise and abuse on the Internet. Come to the stadium, do it on our face, scream at us, shout at us, abuse us, who knows one day we might change you guys, you might start cheering for us”.
