The north-eastern clubs always surprise you with their exciting players. It's going to be a terrific league. We'll treat everyone with the same respect. This (I-League) is going to be a sprint, not a marathon."

Praising the player of his team, Fleming said,  "We have some really good young players, as well as some big names. We are really excited to see the league kicking off. There's a perfect balance in the squad. Young guys won't succeed if experienced ones don't help. In the same way, if the youngsters don't support, senior boys can't match the expectation. At the end of the day, the team-work makes it possible."
