Asian Games an opportunity for youngsters to prove themselves: Igor Stimac

Firstpost  

India men’s national team head coach Igor Stimac stressed that the Asian Games will present an opportunity for younger players in his squad to prove their mettle, ahead of the team’s departure for Hangzhou, China for the Asian Games. Asian Games: Jhingan, Chinglensana and Lalchungnunga added to India squad Speaking to the media ahead of the team’s departure, Stimac said, “Those players who are not primarily on the list in the team have a great opportunity in front of them. “That’s why I am confident going there even without senior players.” Kenkre FC’s Azfar Noorani is the only player from last season’s I-League, to have made it to the Indian squad for the Asian Games, and Stimac feels that that is totally on the 24-year-old’s performance. They have three senior players that are very important to their side, a striker who is as tall as a tower, and scored 26 goals in their Super League, and an experienced attacking midfielder,” he said, “So we will need to be clever and preserve our energy for the next two games, and then we might make it to the knockout rounds.”
