Team India arrive in Kolkata for second Friendly vs Malaysia

Sunday night ended well for Team India with seasoned Syed Rahim Nabi getting a late equaliser against Malaysia in the first of two international friendlies against the Southeast Asian nation. Yesterday the Indian national football team left Guwahati and arrived in the 'City of Joy' ahead of their second match against Malaysia on Wednesday, November 16.

The mood in the Indian camp is positive and the players are determined to win the upcoming tie especially with the match being played in the football crazy city of Kolkata, but it isn't clear what kind of support the Bhangra Boys will get in the Eastern Metropolis.

India's Sunday night Hero Syed Rahim Nabi, who scored the late equaliser off a header, said, "It's always a matter of pride when you play for your country and I am happy that I helped my side to equalise against Malaysia. Though we would have really liked to win the match in front of our home crowd."

"We will give our hundred per cent to win the match in Kolkata, as this is my home town also we will not let our supporters down. I also request all our supporters to come out in huge numbers to be behind us," Nabi added. Hopefully the Kolkata crowds will listen and come out in numbers as has been recently the case in Delhi and Guwahati.

India had yesterday an evening relaxing session in their hotel pool after their arrival from Guwahati. Their first and only training session would be held later today at the Saltlake Stadium with the match against Malaysia on tomorrow evening.
