England and Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has suggested that Indian football is on the right path with successfully hosting the FIFA U-17 World Cup and needs more exposure to develop as a footballing nation. Campbell, who is now a member of FIFA's technical study, was in the Salt Lake stadium on Saturday as his English beat Spain 5-2 in the final to lift their maiden World Cup trophy. I think India is on the right path, you have the U-17 World Cup here, I think it's an exposure," he said. I think training and training doesn't teach you everything, you need games under the belt, you need to understand the situation and how to pass the ball, when to make a tackle. They need games to bring out the best in them," he remarked.
