Here’s the video Sunil Chhetri shared

Chhetri was recently asked about the football talent India has, he was quoted by PTI saying, “It is better now but it is not great. Identification of talent is the first criteria of scouting and you have to identify talent at the right time.

"When a kid is 11 and when he is 14, there is a hell lot of a difference. Catching him when he is at 11 and putting him in a programme is going to be different from when he is 14. That is where we lacked. We have 1.3 billion people and it is impossible we don't have talent. We have to improve as a country (in this aspect).”

The Indian captain, who plays for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League, recently was named as the AIFF Men's Footballer of the Year for a record-extending sixth time. He had previously won the honour in 2007, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2017. Chhetri is also the second-highest international goal scorers among active players with 70 strikes to his name, behind Cristiano Ronaldo (149).
