3-0 I feel like India’s performance was much better against Qatar
True. We conceded 2 silly goals. With our full team, we would have played much better.
But we can't compare both. It's a home game for us & away game for Lebanon. Also they are not bad either. With the number of chances Lebanon created today, teams like Syria & Tajikistan would have scored atleast a goal.
We are missing 4 first team players ( Anwar, Ashique, Jeakson & Sahal). Expecting a positive result against Australia would be foolishness. We should play compact game & counterattack once they are tired and frustrated. I would take 3-1/2-0 in first game.
If we concede 1st goal, we should play long balls & attack their goal. Losing 1-0 or 2-0 or 3-1 doesn't make much difference against Australia. But scoring a goal against teams like Australia would give us lot of confidence going into 2nd game vs Uzbekistan.
I was going through average height of teams and leading are Iran followed by China, South Korea and then Australia. How the hell China and South Korea in top 3 un this regard. And how we , with such a large region still lagging behind. Even though a lot of people disregards this aspect, alingwith technical ability this is a vital cog in going up the next level.
