"Nishu is exceptional. He practiced day and night. I only guided him with my limited resources and abilities, but it was his hard work and determination that made him what he is today. Otherwise, football is unheard of in the region. There is not a single stadium, forget about financial assistance. There is a lot of hidden talent here, but the government hardly pays attention to this sport".
