Nabi sad at being away player

Kolkata, Oct 11 (IBNS) Sayeed Rahim Nabi may be taking the field as Mumbai City FC captain on Sunday, but his heart will swell with emotions playing as an away player for the first time in his career spanning over a decade.

"In 12 years of my career, this would be for the first time I would play here as an away player. It would be tough for me," Nabi told reporters on the eve of their match against Atletico de Kolkata in the Indian Super League opener.

For a team that has Sourav Ganguly as its face, Nabi had no doubt that Atletico de Kolkata won't be short on support: " With Dada involved in the team, the support base would be the team's main strength. It would be tough. Even my friends and family are unable to decide on whom to support."

He said both the teams are on par both in terms of Indian and foreigners recruits. "They have enough good players, they are equally good. It all will depend on that particular day who would play well."
