I always stick to the role assigned during a match, reveals Suresh Wangjam

The playmaker made his international debut during India’s 1-1 draw against Oman in March, earlier this year. Currently attending a preparatory camp in Qatar ahead of India’s World Cup Qualifiers, Suresh Wangjam, reflecting on his style of play, reveals that he sticks to the role assigned to him during a game, going on to say that he is a coach’s player.

“I am a coach’s player. The role of the player is to execute the plans and stick to the role assigned to him to perfection. The coach will guide me and tell me what he wants from me for my team. I always try to gauge what the coach demands and thereafter I depend on his technical inputs. During the match, I just stick to the role assigned to me,” said Suresh Wangjam, as stated by the AIFF.

“If you ask me I always love to be the box-to-box midfielder. But there have been matches where I started in the wings. So there will be temptations to go for glory in certain moments, but as a player, I need to remember my role. Playing in different positions helps me to gauge the fines aspects associated with every position in the field,” he added.
