I wish Sreenidhi Deccan FC all the best and it is proud to have a professional club from my Home State. Sreenidhi management is very good and they give lot of importance to Sports. As a Sreenidhi Alumni , I can definitely say that.
But people from Andhra are not fancy about Deccan name which means South.
Though Deccan word is originated from Dakshan (South), Deccan region covers Maharashtra along with Sothern states likes Andhra, Telangana & Karnataka.
AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers draw to be held tomorrow. India is in pot 3 of West Zone. 5 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 in West Zone. Unlike last editions, matches against host (UZB) won't be counted among the group and also while comparing 2nd placed teams. So UZB is in pot 4.
Interestingly Bangladesh is in POT2. We could be lucky if we get them. No news on the Indian coach yet
Most probably stimac will take charge as most of the u23 players are in national team . This will be a good test for players and coach . All the talk by him will once again get exposed .
u23 of oman and kyrgyz are not very competitive like their national team . So if we can gather points against them we will be in a good position to qualify
Only 4 out of 11 runners-up will go through. It's easy for East Zone nations to pump up goal difference. There's minimal chance for India to go through as 2nd placed team. One option left - defeat them all. Time for the boys to show what they've got.
With ISL in november clubs will not release players for a long camp so our players have to do with what time they have got to get upto match fitness and also we haven't played any friendlies over last 2 years .

Not a tough group , should atleast aim for second spot . But knowing players and coach we can as well finish last.
