New Delhi, Sept 8 (IBNS): Delhi Dynamos is a firm believer of making history as it will become the first Indian team to play against a top tier European club on Thursday against BK Hacken.

The entire team has been working extremely hard at their state of the art training facility in Sweden for their Scandinavian pre season tour.

The team’s first ever Premier League signing Adil Nabi opened up and said, “It's been fantastic to work with Roberto, with the experience and the knowledge he has. You can see in his coaching ideas that he's been at the highest level. I'm really enjoying it, this is my first time in Sweden and I’m looking to learn as much as I can.”

The Delhi Dynamos team train twice a day with intense physical work out our Assistant Manager Walmir da Cruz, who wants the highest level of fitness from the players to condition them for the upcoming ISL season while manager Roberto Carlos and Goalkeeping Coach Leandro Franco are working on the tactics and technical performance.

DD players had an activity period on a Beach Centre where they had a tournament on foot volley and also had a fun training session where they went to the Saltholmen Island.

“This is my first time in Sweden. It's a new experience and a very good one. In preseason you need to train hard and also get along with your team mates. So those fun moments playing foot volley and training at the beach. They are amazing!  I'm really happy to train with someone professional like Leandro. He pushes us very hard to achieve the best possible results,” said the team’s Spanish goalkeeper Toni Doblas.

The management believes that such activities will keep the player’s minds and bodies fit as well as free from stress and pressure of the game. 

“I want the people to see how beautiful Sweden is not only in terms of natural beauty but also in its sporting structure. Even in a small Island, football was given so much importance and it was a wonderful experience for the players, too.  We don’t want our players to be strained because of the training, we want them to see the positive side of it and enjoy it as much as they can. The players were very happy and had a big smile on their faces, and it felt like a family trip,” said the President of the club Prashant Agarwal.
