Fiji football legend Roy Krishna is playing a crucial role in connecting global professionalism with local talent in the sport. With a wealth of experience from his time in the A-League and Indian Super League, the seasoned striker has emerged as a significant mentor for aspiring Fijian footballers.
Krishna emphasizes that transitioning to a professional level requires much more than just innate skills. “In the professional environment, there is no babysitting,” he remarked, highlighting the competitive nature of top-tier football. At this level, the emphasis is on individual performance, where one’s abilities are measured against others in the league.
He believes that participating in the OFC Pro League necessitates a fundamental change in mindset. This includes a steadfast commitment to discipline, adherence to strict dietary regimes, and the willingness to make personal sacrifices for the sake of the game.
As excitement builds in the local football community, Bula FC is set to face Vanuatu United in their opening match tomorrow at 2 PM. With Krishna’s guidance, the future looks promising for Fijian footballers as they aim to hone their skills and adapt to the demands of professional competition. The journey ahead may be challenging, but it holds the potential for significant growth and success for the next generation of players.
