so we are conceding goals against random non professional club, our defence would have tough times against likes of iraq, uae.

conceding goals is not a problem as long as they score more than they concede.... ;-)

Its DNATA club.. they are a very big company & well know in Dubai ..manage a lot of air travel services..I dont think DNATA club are very good competition for India U22..they may be slightly better than Delhi 11. So now we face Lebanon in 23rd... fingers crossed for the first match.. it will most likely set a precedent of how we perform in the qualifiers..very sad that unlike how bangladesh nepal pakistan we have had to play DNATA DELH & Africa 11. am not going with very high epectations..but who knows the boys may spring a suprise..

i like the the fact that indian u22 wont have problem on scoring side...they seem to have good strikers led by jeje...totally opposite to our u22s.. so if u can score goals then u always have a chance..

Many have become disgruntled with India’s approach to kicking the ball up-field and hoping against hope, but Papas is keen on not using that system anymore. The 32 year old coach has already said of his willingness to try out a new 4-3-3 system that could possibly see the team building attacks rather than just clearing wildly. The new coach is also keen to impress upon the side the importance of off-the-ball positioning which could prove vital for India has they will often have their backs to the wall against their opposition in the group, who Papas admitted were ones of great quality.<p style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial, Verdana; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; "><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Players With Experience:<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; ">In Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Lalrindika Ralte, Jeje Lalpekhlua, India have 3 players who have been involved with the Indian senior side. The experience, skill and knowledge these 3 will bring will be a huge plus for the otherwise raw U-22 team. Jeje is expected to play a huge part in the tournament, but with the striker suffering from an injury the team will have to rally around Gurpreet and Ralte. They also have players who have played major roles for their teams and come in to the tournament in fine form. Quite a few players have benefited from some valuable playing time with their clubs and that should serve them in good stead.<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; "> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; "><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Attacking Prowess:<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; "> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify; ">India U-22′s main strength lies with the attackers. In-form strikers like Alywn George, Manandeep Singh can pose a threat even if Jeje misses out.

But should one of them suffer an injury or go through a bad patch, there aren’t many players the coach can count on. Jeje’s injury already has the team on tenterhooks and should Ralte or Alwyn George suffer, Papas’ boys will need to punch above their weight against top-class opposition if they are to leave an impact.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Adapting To The Ideologies and Tactics of The New System:<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> The appointment of Arthur Papas not long before the tournament has left the team with a lot to do if they are to understand and employ the Australian’s tactics on the field. If the moves does come off it could work wonders for the young team but there are equal chances of the team failing to cope with what they learned over the past few days. It would be harsh to expect the team to unlearn what Sukhwinder Singh had taught them and incorporate Papas’ ideas immediately. Singh preferred a more direct approach while Papas focuses more on building the attack.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Lack of Match Practice:<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> India were to play 4 warm-up games before they face Lebabon to kick their campaign off. Two of the matches came against local teams that didn’t really offer the colts a test. So, in effect, the youngsters would get 2 chances to prove themselves while the coach has to go with his instincts in choosing the team. The sudden change in intensity and skill level when the tournament kicks off too could be tough for the colts to manage.<p style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "> </div>
