Bahrain Goalkeeper made our scoreline superb.Otherwise it should have been 2-0. Anyway how tall are the strikers? I hope they are taller than Uttam Rai and with a hope that they will grow few cms otherwise it will be same old story.
Bahrain also missed two three open chances which better teams will bury. I hope we play better defensively against Uzbeks.
Uzbekistan has scored many of the goals from long range shots. Our goalkeeper has to be careful with these kind of shots. Our defenders are also prone to mistakes which was evident in the Bahrain match.
Defence is shaky..Goals missed by Bahrain..Had goalkeeper not made those blunders and their forwards converted their chances..score would have been 2 - 2 or even 3 - 2 in favour of Bahrain.. Nevertheless it's win that matters and 3 points..But our defence need to be really careful in all upcoming matches.. Opposition coaches will definitely be watching..
From the highlights Bahrain only get one half chance.The first one. Second one is way offside. Reffery also raised his flag. Fantastic performance from our lads. Keep it up
Teams at this U 16 level are unpredictable , they can make unpredictable errors & can score quality goals.. difference in level will be low and we cannot expect consistent performance.. one bad or good day can change our fate..
Last championship, Tajisktan is finalist & lost by solitary goal in final.. but they might have eliminated in GS.. saved by cross bar & woodwork multiple times in GS.. also they lost 1st game against Malyasia with scoreline 2-6 & won QF & SF in Penality Shootout..
Even in 2012, we scored last minute penality against China.. by virtue of that goal, they qualified to QF instead of China & Won Asian U 16 championship.. Uzbekistan won in QF & Final in Penalty shootout.. same is true for North Korea & Iraq in one or two championships..
Coming to our game against Uzbekistan in this qualifiers.. we can win this game and can top our group with 9 points or draw and top our group with better GD, lose the game by 1 goal and might qualify with better GD as top 4 runner-up.. or can lose by 2-3 goals and out of championship..
If we see current standings, probability of advancing to final stage is 75%.. Let's hope for the best..
I would be happy if we can advance even if it is draw or loss.. This batch is special, even if they are out of championship, I will still support them..
I feel the best game of this batch is yet to come..they havent played an opponent who has kinda dominated them so it will be interesting to see how they play under pressure and away supporters
Well didn't this batch play these games. @sam Mentioned the games this batch has been playing. I don't remember how the game went. Analysis of the below games could give you a rough idea about how they handle the game under pressure.
