Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) David James, Kerala Blasters:

"I have been here for two months now and I think on a daily basis that the response towards the game is growing. Sachin Tendulkar is a worldwide legend. Some people might even argue a bit of a god. But also a fantastic sportsman who appreciates the value of the opportunity of sport for people at every different level and the grass roots opportunities that ISL can give to Indian footballers."

SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Pires, FC Goa:

"It's a new challenge, of course. But I think it is a human adventure so for me it is new. I think we are a really good team. So, it is very important for the Indian players to make a success for the future."

SOUNDBITE (English) Alessandro Del Piero, Delhi Dynamos

"For us (we don't know) what it is like to play football in India. But there is a great potential. There are a lot of young players and we try to do our best. To be an inspiration for those guys and to share with them our knowledge and to play football."
