Indian football head coach Khalid Jamil has stressed on the importance of an offensive strike against Singapore in a crucial AFC Asian Cup qualifier. When facing the media in Goa, Jamil said that they need to be in attack mode, starting off, and pumping the core message of the need to win a game to keep the Indian qualification alive.
A victory in this game is necessary though India will require good results in other games in order to advance. Jamil emphasized on the need to use the advantages of the home and perform with confidence and calmness in the pressure. To strengthen the team Jamil has summoned defenders Subhasish Bose and midfielder Lalengmawia Ralte (Apuia). Sandesh Jhingan is suspended, which means that the vacancy of left back is filled by Bose, and the experience of Apuia should solidify the midfield. The coach has also stressed on team unity and flexibility where he notes that the players should be well prepared to change techniques as the game progresses.
The coach of Singapore, Gavin Lee, is also positive in regards to the tough away game. Looking back at the last time they met which had resulted in a 1-1 draw, Lee told them, that they wanted to get the three points and they would want to get the same in this game as well. He accepted the home advantage of India but pointed out that his team was ready to compete. Everyone will be watching the performance of India and whether they will be able to deliver the performance of attack through Jamil as the match nears. A resounding victory will rekindle their qualification process whereas a defeat will mean the failure of their Asian cup hopes. Fans and analysts will be eager to find out whether India can take opportunities, will be defensive and demonstrates the resilience it takes to stay in the Asian Cup dreams.
