#5 Did Sunil Chhetri suffer from wedding blues?
Bengaluru's captain tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Sonam Bhattacharya on Monday. It was a hectic week for Chhetri and one can only imagine how tiring it would have been for him.
Coach Albert Roca spoke about his professionalism but it would have been too much to expect Sunil to deliver after such a busy week. Against NorthEast, the forward looked out of sorts and didn't have his shooting boots on. He was a shadow of his usual self and missed a couple of gilt-edge chances. On another day, he would have buried them.
Understandably, he was replaced around the hour mark. With Bengaluru leading 1-0 and Sunil hardly contributing neither in attack nor defence, he took out his star man and introduced Lenny Rodrigues to add some much needed steel and shore up the defence.
