Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs on Saturday compared futsal with Twenty20 cricket, saying the format is quick and different from 90 minute football. Also I like the concept, the legends (taking part), the futsal players and also local talent,” he told reporters. Asked about his motive behind taking part in tournament, Giggs said, “There are number of reasons. I think it is our job really to help young Indian players who perhaps haven’t played this standard. It is similar to Twenty20 cricket, it’s instant and different from 90 minute football,” said Giggs who is playing for Mumbai 5s in the ongoing Premier Futsal.
