Kolkata, Despite the lopsided defeat, head coach Khalid Jamil saw enough positives in India’s performance against five-time world champions Brazil and hoped his side will feature in many such high-profile games in future so that the team can get better.
“That’s why I said concentration should be good. Till the water break, I was thinking everything would be fine. Then we conceded a silly goal. Then we conceded a second goal, so the calculation changed a little.”
Their coach is also good and they have players who have played at different clubs,” Jamil said at the post-match interaction. “The next game is also very good for us, so we have to continue with that,” he said, looking ahead to Tuesday’s clash against two-time former world champions Uruguay. Defensively, we should be a little stronger,” he said. “After the match, I told them, ‘You played, and you have seen. You have also done well, so continue with that.'” “He said, ‘Good game.
“Definitely, their quality is very high. “Manvir was very good one-versus-one. Overall, it was very good, especially Williams. He tried his best. The coach urged the team to move forward with confidence. You played very well. Just keep it up. We will keep in touch.”
