In the previous two years the Indian team went to Portugal for an exposure trip which helped them get ready for international tournaments. Mahindra medio Pradeep believes this year’s trip to Barcelona has been equally good.
The Kerala born player was quoted saying, “Last two years we went to Portugal and it was very nice, but now it is a great feeling to be here, everything is very nice, the facilities are very nice and the field as well.”
Pradeep, who scored the winner in the 2007 Nehru Cup final against Syria, also talked about their visit to the Sagrada Familia Roman Church.
“We went to this church ‘Sagrada Familia’ that is very beautiful, I really enjoyed it.,” said the Steven Gerrard fan.
