Bengaluru 5s
Owned by the moviestar Puneeth Rajkumar, the Bengaluru team will be looking to prove their credentials and show how good they are on the field.
Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is their marquee player, and crowds will throng to the stadium to watch him play. Scholes’ ability to pick out the perfect pass and hit crunching long-rangers will be very useful in futsal, and can help his team a lot.
The team from the Garden City will also have a very strong goalkeeper in the form of Elias, the Argentinean having been awarded the Best Goalkeeper in the World award twice. Neto will be marshalling the defence for the team from Bengaluru, with his rugged style of defending and ability to score crucial goals making him a great asset.
Another player who will help them tremendously is Maxi, with the Argentine’s versatility his best quality, something which coach Juan Jose Bernal Cierre will look to utilize.
