News 18  

The Indian men’s football team are high on confidence after a commanding performance in their opening clash of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. “But obviously, these three points and a win against Cambodia mean nothing if we don’t get three points against Afghanistan. “The match against Afghanistan is going to be much different, because you could see, if you watch the game, between Hong Kong and Afghanistan, there was lots of quality movement, lots of quality and quick passing, changing positions, many crosses into the box where Afghanistan team is good in aerials duels and they are very good in attack,” Stimac said. Afghanistan boss Anoush Dastgir though minced no words when talking about the significance of the clash as they need a win to stay in contention for an AFC Asian Cup berth “Tomorrow’s game for us will be do or die, everything or nothing,” Dastgir said ahead of the clash.
