Kibu Vicuna opens up about his favourite Kerala Blasters players

XtraTime Web Desk: After helping Mohun Bagan to win their second Hero I-League title, Kerala Blasters’ new Head Coach Kibu Vicuna has opened up the name of his favourite Indian Super League and Kerala Blasters player. He is none other than KBFC’s very own’ Sahal Abdul Samad.

The youngster hardly started for Kerala Blasters under Eelco Schattorie last campaign. Despite early struggles, Vicuna is super-excited about the quality of Sahal and considers him as one of the best Indian players at present.

“My favourite player in the ISL right now is Sahal. Sahal’s quality surprised me. He is a fantastic player and is one of the best Indian stars right now. I also like Prabir Das, the right-back of ATK,” Kibu Vicuna told on ‘Let’s football live’ Instagram session.

Despite finishing ten points shy off the playoff spot in the previous season, Vicuna believes that Kerala Blasters have the perfect balance of young and experienced set of players in the current squad.

“Speaking about the team as such, right now they do have a good mix of both young players as well as experienced stars. The likes of Nongdamba Naorem, Jeakson Singh, Sahal (Abdul Samad) and Rahul KP bring youth to the side, while Ogbeche and Co. bring experience.” he added.
