\"NicolaiGOA: After participating in the AFC U-16 Championship and grabbing just a point off three games – courtesy of a 3-3 draw against Saudi Arabia – the Indian U-16 National Team will oil their engines for the five-nation BRICS U-17 Football Tournament, which commences on October 05, 2016<\/span><\/span> with India clashing swords against Russia in their opening encounter.

Ahead of the opening clash, Nicolai Adam touted the five-nation BRICS U-17 Football Tournament, wherein the Indian Colts face Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa, as value addition to the experience of the Indian squad.<\/p>\n

“We are thankful for the BRICS Tournament and it helps us to gather more experience under our belts whilst exposing us to strong Teams”<\/p>\n

“The BRICS U-17 Football Tournament is like a pre-World Cup as there are five Teams from four different confederations”<\/p>\n

“We have to be competitive in the BRICS Tournament and ensure that we are hard to beat”, the Indian Coach said in the official Pre-Tournament Press Conference.<\/p>\n

“We have to confirm our competitiveness and focus on the task at hand. At the same time we have to be realistic and give our cent percent in the (BRICS) Tournament.”<\/p>\n

Commenting on India’s opponents in their opening fixture of the Cup, Russia, Nicolai said, “Russia are a fantastic Team and we respect them as opponents”<\/p>\n

“They (Russia) finished their qualifying campaign with nine points and we look forward to giving them a hard fight come tomorrow<\/span><\/span>.”<\/p>\n

The Russian U-16 National Team had won matches against Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Moldova in their qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n

Russian Head Coach Dimtry Ulyanov had earlier said in the Press Conference that, “We are expecting a tough challenge from India. However, we are ready for the Tournament as we come on the back of a Tournament in France and had participated in the UEFA Development Tournament as well”<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the performance of the India in the AFC U-16 Championship, Nicolai said, “We did a long analysis for the AFC U-16 Championship and there are some technicalities that we need to work upon”<\/p>\n

“We need to hunt actively for the ball and once we have the ball, we need to keep it better”<\/p>\n

“Our philosophy is to score as many goals as possible but in order to score we need to have possession”, he stated.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes we are not patient enough, sometimes we commit a lot. It is normal not to have balance in youth Football, but we have to strive to right our wrongs”<\/p>\n

Captain Suresh Singh who was also present in the Official Pre-Tournament Press Conference hailed the German Coach’s work ethic and said, “We have developed into better Player under Nicolai-sir and he has taught us a lot when it comes to Football.”<\/p>\n
