"I am pretty optimistic about a good show. We are the host nation and our players have gained confidence following their showings in the preparatory events," the former India striker said.
It was attended by Bhaichung Bhutia, IM Vijayan, Joe Paul Ancheri, Renedy Singh, Bruno Coutinho, Subrata Paul, Godfrey Pereira, Syed Shabbir Pasha, Sukhwinder Singh and Derrick Pereira.
