MUMBAI: After displaying exemplary professionalism on the field which decimated Nepal, the Indian National Team boys feel that it needs to be carried over into every match if the momentum is to be sustained.<\/p>\nMUMBAI: After displaying exemplary professionalism on the field which decimated Nepal, the Indian National Team boys feel that it needs to be carried over into every match if the momentum is to be sustained.<\/p>\n
Basking in glory is something which the present crop of players is not willing to wear it on their sleeve. Sandesh Jhinhgan, for example, who is now making it a habit of scoring in almost every match grins when reminded about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy to help the Team,\u201d he utters, moments after India won 2-0 against Nepal, sweat trickling down his forehead. \u201cThe clean sheet matters the most. We needed this victory because this gives us a good momentum for the match against Kyrgyz Republic. We need to build on it,\u201d he adds, even as the loud cheers from the stands seem to overlay his voice.<\/p>\n
Jeje Lalpekhlua whose sublime finish wrapped up proceedings for India after Jhingan\u2019s goal insisted that the Team needs to \u201cstay calm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was humid and a very difficult game. We fought hard and stayed together. We did not get any goal in the first half but stayed calm and patient. We kept working in the second half and it paid dividends,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n
7 consecutive victories in International Football is no achievement. But Robin Singh isn\u2019t much willing to read much into it. \u201cThere is only way, and that is to move forward from here. The match against Nepal was a winning step and it is time to focus on the match against Kyrgyz Republic,\u201d he maintains.<\/p>\n
The boys had a morning recovery session at the pool and will resume practice again from Thursday(June 8).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victory against Nepal makes us more confident. We need to carry this confidence into our next match and need to fill in the areas which the Coach will instruct us to,\u201d Pritam Kotal, who floated innumerable crosses from the flanks against Nepal, joins in.<\/p>\n
Midfield General Eugeneson Lyngdoh feels that the Team played a \u201cgood game\u201d against Nepal. But the very next moment, he adds: \u201cThis was a much needed victory. We need to capitalise on the win. It will stir up the confidence of the players for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who has now an all-win record in the three matches in which he has Captained India credits the coaching staff, the Coach and all his teammates for all the success. \u201cFootball is not just about one man. It\u2019s a Team playing together, and it\u2019s not just the Team who is taking the field. I am proud to be a part of the Team,\u201d he echoes, and repeats the next moment: \u201cReally proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sentiment in the National Team has surely changed in the last couple of years. It\u2019s always \u2018We\u2019 ahead of \u2018I.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
