The contrast between hanging up the last phone call of the day of high-stakes decisions and then a minute later walking in the door to the pure love of small children who want to laugh and play and show you every discovery they made that day is the strangest and best thing I have ever experienced in life.
i have followed indian football for 10 years at every level, u17, 19, 23, national team. we’ve been at our best only at u17 level with some impressive performances at others. it’s a long road for us
thing here is that this was brazil at 2nd gear. invitational games you expect to end like this. remember when bayern was here for baichung’s fairwell? 4-0
competitive games are different gravy, the intensity is crazy. there’s a lot on the line
tactically in competitive games we can pull out draws, low scoring games with low blocks and impressive goalkeeping. attacking in numbers is impossible for us, everyone needs to be positionally strong and compact which we’re not we leave gaps like the n number of potholes we have
"Brazil are Brazil, a single mistake can cost us, but let's not forget that Sonali Bendre was an absolute beauty in her prime. Getting the chance to play against Brazil is like getting Sonali, there will be pressure. I want us to play attacking football."
