India’s U-17 football player Sanjeev Stalin said that he tries to copy Cristiano Ronaldo’s hairstyle sometimes, when asked whether he thinks he looks similar to the football star.
Stalin was part of the Indian team, which played the historic FIFA U-17 World Cup in October. The defender was the one who set up the goal for Jeakson Singh to score in the match against Colombia.
It was the first-ever goal scored by an Indian in a FIFA World Cup match.
When asked about whether life has changed since the World Cup, Stalin said that he was a bit surprised that some of the players were recognised after the tournament.
Stalin will be playing for Indian Arrows in the upcoming I-league season. Indian Arrows is a team of U-17 and U-19 players.
