"Last month I had gone to play in the Manchester United Premier Cup in Pune, where Kenkre FC coaches selected me for both the U-17 Kenkre team and also the Gothia Cup.
But as I am in Class X, I will not be able to devote a lot of time to play, so I decided to play for Kenkre only in the Gothia Cup," he said. Miteshu00a0 gave equal credit to their goalkeeper Karanveer Saini for yesterday's win against Cathedral.
"We are able to practice on the school ground only sometimes, and for the rest of the time we train at the Gandhi Maidan in Chembur. We travelled here by train on our own. We don't even have a school bus," saidu00a0 Karanveer.
