A nice article on background and preparation of India U-22 team against Iraq!!<br><br><h2 class="contentheading clearfix"><a href="http://www.indiansportsnews.com/football-news/28-football/15170-afc-u-22-championship-stern-iraqi-test-awaits-india.html"; class="contentpagetitle">AFC U-22 C'ship: Stern Iraqi test awaits India </a></h2><br><strong> </strong>Mirror! That’s what Head Coach Arthur Papas asks
the boys to look at. “After a match stand in front of the mirror and you
will understand by yourself whether if you have given 100 percent or
not. If you have, I will come and shake hands with you. Irrespective of
whether we win or lose,” he says in one breath.<br><br>Reflection!
That’s what India’s U-22 boys stay concerned about. Not because they
stay desperate to shake hands with Papas after the final whistle but for
their inner conscience. Dishonesty is unbearable. The mirror never
lies!<p><br>Confront! “On the field, it’s 11 vs 11. In situations
it’s one against one. Win that battle,” Papas presses. “Break through
and fight.”<br><br>There’s love for the man all around. The boys just
love Papas. Within a span of three weeks, Papas has been able to turn
around a batch to try to play a different style; a style unheard and
unseen of in India. Most had felt the style never suited India. And mind
you, Papas knew none of the boys prior to taking up the assignment.<br><br>Lalrindika
Ralte certifies: “We stayed a bit skeptical about the style at the
outset. But we are enjoying it at the moment. Jeje Lalpekhlua adds: “We
are a confident lot now but we need to be a more complete lot.” Deepak
Devrani feels: “Earlier by instinct we were different. Now, the instinct
stays different.”<br><br>The Australian Coach, smiles. “We need to be
cautious. Iraq are one of the strongest teams in Asia. It’s true we will
take a lot of confidence from our match against Lebanon. But against
Iraq, it will be a different match altogether,” he maintains. For the
record, Iraq stay on 74 in the FIFA Rankings while India are 164.<br><br>Iraq
were very much clinical in their display when they brushed aside
Turmkenistan 4-0 in their first match of the Championship. “We will
fight and try for a positive result. So far, the boys have shown
excellent character,” Papas adds.<br><br>The beauty of this squad stays
everyone stays willing to back each other. Against Lebanon, there were
three who made their International Debut -- Shaiju Mon, Ganeshan and
Alwyn George. Alwyn went on to score a brace while Shaiju and Ganeshan
played with attitude.<br><br>There’s someone else who just can’t stop
beaming – Jeje Lalpekhlua. It was his debut match after almost six
months as an injury had kept him out. The last 30 minutes he was there
on the field he seemed to be omnipresent. He stayed willing to come down
to help his teammates, opened the space for Alwyn and Lalrindika in the
midfield and significantly, converted the two chances he got.<br>“We
are friends – all from the same age group. It helps. The Coach has had a
specific plan for me and my responsibility is to execute it,” he
opines.<br><br>The morning after, the support staff run all around.
Players leave their play stations as the intercom rings. The massage
table waits, so does the ice bath. All take it one by one. Papas keeps
track of every minute detail.<br><br>Even as the team bus pierces the
blur of brown rocks which form the rocky desert in the City, dessert
stays taboo for all. “Relish your dessert and you won’t be able to
relish yourself on the field,” has been Papas’ instruction. At the
Dining Hall, the players pass by ignoring the sumptuous spread of
desserts.<br><br>The Mirror, they know by now, never lies.<br><br>The kick-off against Iraq is at 7.45pm (IST: 9.15pm).</p>
