Rahul Bheke Believes Intercontinental Cup Is A Step Towards India’s ‘main Goal’
November FIFA International Windows: The Intercontinental Cup 2024 marked a new chapter, not only in Indian football but also for Blue Tigers defender Rahul Bheke, who was handed the captain’s armband for their match against Mauritius. While it was a special moment for the India centre-back, Bheke has his sights firmly set on the objectives set by the new coaching start.
“From the first meeting itself, the coach told us about the main goal, which is in March – the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers. We have to reach there with a clear mind of what we must do and execute it. He told us that through the September, October, and November FIFA International Windows, the coaches would keep feeding us information, which ultimately needs to reflect on what we do on the pitch in March,” Bheke told AIFF's official website.
While qualifying for the Asian Cup is one of the Blue Tigers' key targets, the actual objective goes far beyond it.
