Mumbai FC:
Trending
Mumbai FC was one of the strongest forces to be reckoned with when they started their I-League campaign in the year 2008. That was their best essay in all the I-Leagues that they have participated in so far. They finished at the 7th position.
Mumbai FC is known for their strong base of Mumbai-based players, which they have managed to retain for 8 long years.
Veterans like Ashutosh Mehta, Cletus Paul, Clyde Fernandes, Thoi Singh, Steven Dias, Jayesh Rane, Chinta Rao can be very imperative for Mumbai to mount a title challenge.
Steven Dias is one of the most experienced campaigners for Mumbai. He can be tagged as one of the marksmen for Mumbai as he can swing in the set-pieces from anywhere. While playing for the nation, he was cheered with a very famous adage, which at one point of time was used to greet Beckham, “Bend it like Dias”. At 33 his agility is noteworthy and he conflates that with his long rangers and runs down the middle.
The trio of Clyde Fernandes, Allan Dias and Chinta Rao can be an impregnable wall for Mumbai FC. They have come out with flying colours in previous occasions as well. With a major foreigner still to be roped in, this team can indeed be a tough nut to crack when they take the field again.
