The reaction time is much less and that highlights how fast decision making on the field needs to be for any player. I want to build on from here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe seniors have been extremely supportive, and that was a huge motivation in itself. Coach told me not to get tense, and stressed on me doing the same stuff which I do in training,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Referring back to the first International Friendly against Nepal which ended 1-1, Coach Stimac averred: \u201cThe game had two phases. The first 45 minutes wasn\u2019t good, and I am not happy at all. That\u2019s why I made four changes at half-time, and the second half was far better as all could see. We were passing the ball, had good pace on the ball, we were picking up second balls, and coming into the final third with quality \u2013 all of which was missing in the first 45 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Defender Seriton Fernandes who came in as a substitute in the second half reiterated the \u201cspecial feeling\u201d of putting on the National Team jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever any kid starts playing football, representing his country stays his ultimate dream. All these years came rushing through my head when I took to the field,\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a feeling of everything and everyone being on the edge at all times during the game. In fact, I have been waiting for a long time to join the camp. This time too me reporting to the National team hit a roadblock and I want to thank the coach for granting me permission to join the team in Nepal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stimac explained that \u201cNepal relied on tight defensive blocks and counter-attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndia are the better side \u2013 we all agree, and we can play better quality football. Nepal relied on a bad pitch, tight defensive blocks, and counter-attacks. When they came to the final third, they put in dangerous crosses inside the box. The coach has put in a stable composure in the team, they have good discipline, and are showing their quality in many parts of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next International Friendly between the two countries is scheduled for September 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIFF Media Team KATHMANDU: The morning after, the two debutants Rahim Ali and Seriton Fernandes admit that their baptism of gaining an experience of International football has come with the basic understanding of the \u201cextremely high intensity\u201d of International Football.
