Our star defender Anas Edathodika resumed his training after he was sidelined for five weeks following an injury. He shared his thoughts as he was back in the team and resumed practicing with the rest of the team members at the Tata Football Academy in Jamshedpur.
How does it feel to be back in training after 5 weeks?
It is difficult. Players are prone to injuries after pre-season and then when you are sidelined for 5 weeks, it gets a lot more difficult to come back and gel well with the team. A challenging job indeed but my team members here made it look easy for me.
Why did you choose jersey no.15?
My birthday is on February 15. My best friend’s birthday is also on 15th. I used to follow Nemanja Vidic and he also used to wear jersey number 15. Therefore, the reasons are obvious now.
How does it feel to face your former team -Delhi Dynamos?
There is no problem as such. Footballers keep changing clubs. In fact, it is a challenge for these players to play well in their new clubs. One should not be thinking much about these things.
