Chinglensana Singh, Defender, FC Goa:

I wish the team all the very best.

I am from Manipur myself and there are eight players from Manipur representing India at the U-17 WC that’s great and I wish all the players all the very best.

Give your best and enjoy the game. We are all supporting the team. Try not to be under any sort of pressure, enjoy playing the game.

It is a great feeling representing the country at any level.

Representing India at the World Cup is a fantastic opportunity.

None of us have had that opportunity. I wish them lots of luck.

Bruno Pinheiro (Portuguese), Defender, FC Goa:

I wish the Indian team all the best.

This is an amazing opportunity for India as a country that is developing football.

It is a tremendous opportunity to grow-up and gain experience from the best teams in Europe and the World.

I wish them all the best. Be happy; enjoy playing football because it is an opportunity that doesn't come very often.

I wish Team India all the best.

Edu Bedia, (Spanish) Midfielder, FC Goa:

More than anything else, having played in the U-19 and U-20 national teams of Spain, it’s important that these guys have fun.

At 17 years of age it’s important that you learn on the pitch rather than focus on the results but it’s important to have fun when you play.

Ferran Corominas ( Spanish), Striker, FC Goa:

I wish them all the best.

It’s a great opportunity for them to come and play here, I hope they have a great tournament and we’ll be supporting them from afar.
