Modern-day football is not about sticking to one position, claims Manvir Singh

Currently in Doha, featuring in India’s World Cup Qualifiers, Manvir feels that that modern-day football is not about sticking to one position, just as he has been shuffled between the left-wing and right-wing positions.

“At the outset, I was an out and out striker. But a player needs to be flexible. Modern-day football is not just about sticking to one position and role. I have been playing on the wings – both on the right-wing and left-wing in recent times. I feel that has helped me understand the dynamics of a team’s attacking philosophy. It is a plus point for any player,” stated Manvir Singh, during an interview with the AIFF.

After a 2-0 win over Bangladesh, the Blue Tigers will play their last match of the campaign against Afghanistan, on Tuesday. Ahead of the all-important clash, Manvir feels that they need to sustain the momentum gained from the previous match. A draw will be enough to ensure India finish at the third spot in the Group E of the qualifiers, behind leaders Qatar and second-placed Oman.
