New Delhi, July 8: Star striker Manisha Kalkyan is 100 per cent “prepared” to make an impression in the UEFA Champions League, a tournament in which no Indian woman footballer has played before her.
The 20-year-old, who shot to fame last year when she scored against heavyweights Brazil in their own den, recently signed a contract with Cypriot club Apollon Ladies FC, which will play in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification.
“Competitions like the Champions League are what every player would have dreamt of playing, and just the thought of getting a chance to play there is thrilling. From my end, I’m prepared to give my 100 percent to play the Champions League and help my team do well,” said Manisha.
Manisha, along with her fellow India winger Dangmei Grace have made their moves abroad earlier this month, with the latter signing for Nasaf FC in Uzbekistan.
Manisha believes that with the kind of progress the country’s women’s team has made in recent times, more Indian players can make such moves in the future.
Manisha has already had three training sessions with her new club in the Cypriot capital, and the attacker is looking to adapt to the new environment. (PTI)
