This is the start of the competition and so it is a massive game. It is a big opportunity to play here and hopefully we will come up with the right result,&quot; Reid said Friday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe also named Syed Rahim Nabi as the captain of the team.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;From the couple of weeks I have worked with the team, I have found him a natural leader, good communicator and a bubbly character within the dressing room. I think Nabi has great experience and knowledge of the game. Manuel Friedrich would be the vice-captain,&quot; the Englishman said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMumbai City FC won all their four warm-up games in the build-up to the tournament.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNabi hopes that the team would get good support from the Kolkata crowd as some players have played in the city for a long time.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;This is the first game and hence will be massive for all of us. We expect a good support for our team. We hope to get a positive result,&quot; said Nabi.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe team, boasting the likes of Ljungberg, former German international Manuel Friedrich and French star Nicolas Anelka, is co-owned by Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor and Bimal Parekh.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
