The report quoted Lajong coach Alison Kharsyntiew as saying: “We are in the senior division of the Shillong Premier League and we want to play with Indian players.”

He further stated: “I know it is going to be a huge challenge, but as a coach I have to work hard and believe in the team. The players have to do the same with a belief in themselves.”
