HAVE IMMENSE RESPECT FOR SCOTT AND BAAN, SAYS NICOLAI ADAM
“I had said after our defeat to Iran that I did not like the performance of both the Teams on that day and I stay with my opinion,” he opined. “Today we saw U-16 Football as U-16 Football should be played – tactically and possession wise and not just long balls as it was on display in the match against Iran,” he added.
“I am extremely happy with the result and respect my boys for doing exactly what they were asked to do,” he stated.
“It’s only from July 1 that I started training the Team and I need to mention about my immense respect for the Technical people who were in charge of the Team prior to me taking charge,” the German Coach quipped.
“Our Technical Director Scott O’Donell and former Technical Director Robert Baan had selected 50 percent of the present squad much prior to me joining and I selected 50 percent of the remaining. Many of the Players who excelled in the Championship were selected prior. My Assistant Coaches were also in charge prior to me taking over the job,” he informed.
Gholam Ghader, Head Coach of Lebanon Lebanon Coach admitted “India dominated completely in the second half.”
“They were more prepared and I feel India were the best Team in the Group,” he commented. “They were fitter and were better on everything, tactically much superior,” he opined."
Lebanon coach feels India was the best team in the group. probably we screwed up. Just waiting for AFC finals now.
so do India qualify as second best (without the qualification due to host part)? that would be a big boost.
Also I hope we get the toughest draw and group in the AFC Finals. Should get 1 of teams like South korea, Japan, Iran, Australia.. We should be in Group of death :-)
