“In these two-three days, I have noticed that the skill levels here in kids is no different between European players or other players from Japan or other countries.

I think football needs more help from the government so that kids have better fields to practice,” said Guillermo on the sidelines of a training clinic at Priyadarshini Park, conducted in association with Lokko Soccer Schools.
