The actor confirms, “The ISL is at a very crucial juncture and my team needs to be taken further. We had our inaugural game in Kolkata which is like the nerve-centre of football in India. To see the Kolkata team play was an experience to cherish. We played a match in Goa on October 15 and we won! To see the two bastions of Indian football — Goa and Kolkata — play matches was so heartening. I hope the other teams get the same support that these two have from their fans.”

Abhishek now wants to consolidate his football team’s position. “Yes, I will be working on my football team till the end of the year. So that’s going to be my only project till then.Whatever I do, I like to give my full concentration. So I don’t want to treat football like a fly-by-night operation. So I’ll be dedicating my next two months to football,” reveals Abhishek.

He adds that the team needs his attention. “I’m a team owner who likes to be involved with the game. I like to travel with my team. It boosts their morale.”
