Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri says he still has a few years left in him as a player while reflecting on his celebrated career which started in 2002 and is still going strong.
Sunil Chhetri recently made history by going past Pele’s tally of international goals by scoring twice in India’s 3-1 win over Maldives in the 2011 SAFF Championship semi-final on Wednesday. With 79 goals for India, Chhetri is only behind Cristiano Ronaldo (115) and Lionel Messi (80) on the list of active players.
The 37-year-old, who made his India debut in 2005, turned philosophical while dissecting his approach towards the game in what is clearly the final leg of his glorious career.
Chhetri said “it’s a fact that it (his career) is going to end soon” and tells himself to enjoy every moment of it.
“Now I have got a very simple mantra. Dost khade ho ja, bahut kam time bhacha hey, bahut kam game bache huwe hey, chup chaap ja aur apna best de. Thoda time pe khatam hone wala hey (I tell myself that there is very little time left, there are very few games left, go quietly and give your best. It is going to end in some time),” he added when asked how he picks himself up amid the ups and downs during his illustrious career.
