FC Goa begins first day of training with Zico
Panaji, Sept 19 (IBNS): The players of Indian soccer league (ISL) team FC Goa on Friday got their first taste of the living legend Zico, manager and chief coach on the first day of training in Goa at Tilak Maidan Stadium.
Zico was assisted by Arthur Papas.
Post training session, Zico said, “It’s the first day. I’ve observed the team today but the boys look physically fit and ready to go, especially the Indian players. Starting tomorrow we will start training twice a day. In the days to follow, when I get to know the teams better, I will be sharing my tactical strategy and philosophy with the team.”
