How did you become a goalkeeper?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A.<\/strong> I was into sports from my school days. I played my school in zonal and inter zonal tournaments in basketball. At that time, there was a trial camp in Delhi for women\u2019s football. Goalkeeping had always fascinated me and I prepared for it for a week. Eventually, I got selected.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. How are the preparations going on for the next match?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A.<\/strong> We stay more confident after the last match. We believe we can win. Once you have got a feel of things and played well against a much fancied opponent, you start aiming high.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What is your assessment of the Dutch women\u2019s team?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A.<\/strong> They are good. But we matched their level and at times, we were better. We have to convert the chances that come our way. The important thing stayed that we were never overawed by their rankings. However, they are physically strong and taller. But we need to take them as just another opponent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Were you bogged down after conceding the early goal?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A.<\/strong> You need to learn and correct yourselves from the past. AS you saw in the match, we shrugged it off fast and moved on with the match. Most may believe aconceeding an early goal is a setback but at the same time, it inspires a team to come back strongly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Does playing a much higher ranked country help?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A.<\/strong> Immensely! This has to be my biggest match till date. Previously we were facing opponents with equal or lesser footing. We scored 11, 12 goals per match in the SAFF Championships. That tells the story. Tough competition is very important to improve our standards, and I am very happy the AIFF has organised the two Friendlies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" alt=\"Aditi-Chauhan\" src=\"images\/football\/Aditi-Chauhan.jpg\" height=\"185\" width=\"250\" \/>Indian Women\u2019s Team goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan was lavished huge praise by all after her performance against The Netherlands in the first exhibition match in Navi Mumbai on January 17.
