Goals look a little scrappy, Defense could toughen up a little. For a change our kids look more taller and stronger then the strommen kids.
One thing i do find refreshing is the pace in which we release the ball, The boys dont really hold the ball too much and want to quickly pass it , Thats refreshing and as is the pace along the wings esp right. Strikers though look selfish to the goal and not noticing players who are in better position to score. If we are indeed playing at fine margins in tough matches these golden opportunities must be taken.
Last goal was a peach of a buildup, Thats more like it.
The team that started against Strommen was largely composed of squad players or players who have been on the periphery in recent times - Dheeraj, Hendry, Narender, Aimol, Gaston, Saurabh, Lalengmawia, Ninthoi, Sanjeev, Aman, Joysana were the starters.
Among them, only Sanjeev and Ninthoi have been regulars recently while Aman, Dheeraj and Gaston have been displaced by Nawaz, Rakip and Abhijit recently.
Rakip, Sarif and Komal came on later as subs, but the likes of Boris, Jitendra, Amarjit, Suresh, Aniket and Abhijit were rested.
Last five matches of Norway U16 Hungary 1 - 3 Norway, Portugal 1 - 0 Norway, Switzerland 0 - 2 Norway, Czech 1 - 1 Norway, Italy 1 - 1 Norway If we can pull out a draw against Norway, then it will be a more than decent result. https://www.fotball.no/fotballdata/turnering/terminliste/?fiksId=39909

Media team of AIFF doing a great job. Watching team in action and reading ticker are two entirely different experiences.
We can see that our players are confident on the ball. The opposition goalie in 2nd match was pathetic, thats why such a huge scoreline.
But no matter what, this u-17 team is better than any of its predecessors.

Dheeraj was injured and thats why Nawaz played ...
Dheeraj has better GK technique then any GK in team and his height ,Goal kicks ,International experience gives him extra advantage..
kid already played U14,u15 and 2 AFC U16 qualifiers ...
