"In football, any mistake has to be paid for. Not taking advantage of the scoring opportunity but the mistake in defense forced us to lose the goal."
"Obviously, if our team had taken advantage of some of our chances, the situation would have been different. In football, if you score first, you gain confidence. On the contrary, if you concede first, you lose confidence. Anyway, my mood is mixed after the team went behind but had many missed opportunities before that."
The Indian captain said that fitness was India's weak point in this match. "Our players were not ready for the match due to fitness issues. That's why I made quite a few changes to the squad at the end of the match."
When asked about his impression of any individual in the Vietnam team, the Indian coach said that he did not praise any individual in the host team. "I do not pay attention to any individual and do not praise any individual. In fact, the Vietnam team has depth and any player who enters the field can turn the situation around. The Vietnam team is a good team," coach Igor Stimac shared.
