\"IMGEven as the entire Indian footballing fraternity have gone gaga over the Indian U-16 National Team emerging champions in the four-nation International tournament in Serbia, Head Coach Bibiano Fernandes isn\u2019t willing to read much into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt actually doesn’t mean much as this is only the process for our main objective. We haven\u2019t yet achieved anything much,\u201d Bibiano told www.the-aiff.com moments after India beat Tajikistan 4-2 to emerge champions. \u201cBut yeah, I am very happy that the boys are showing great focus and hunger in the process,\u201d he added. \u201cOur main target is the AFC U-16 Finals Malaysia 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

India defeated Jordan (2-1) and Tajikistan (4-2), both of whom have also qualified to the AFC U-16 finals before playing a goalless draw against Serbia to notch an inspirational triumph in the tournament.<\/p>\n

The tournament was part of the series of India\u2019s exposure tours which are being arranged by All India Football Federation and Sports Authority of India to help prepare the team in the best possible fashion for the AFC finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys are growing in the right direction, but we\u2019ve got a long way to go,\u201d Bibiano cautioned. \u201cThere are so many aspects on which we need to improve tactically. These exposure tours making the boys more confident and capable,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tournament was a great opportunity for our preparation and match temperament and gauging our fitness. The best part stays that we are improving with every match.\u201d<\/p>\n
