Stimac urges Blue Tigers to be ‘clever and patient’ against Sri Lanka

Image
 A day in between, and its match day minus one again! The medical staff stay extremely busy working on the tight muscles and niggles; the technical staff stay busy in looking back at the last match against Bangladesh, and dissecting and planning tomorrow’s (October 7) one against Sri Lanka. The players have been quiet since the Blue Tigers were held to a 1-1 draw by a 10-man Bangladesh. Fortunes in international matches fluctuate fast, and the boys have learnt it the hard way. “We need to look forward. There are three matches left in the group stage. We were punished in the last match, and we need to improve,” Head Coach Igor Stimac stated. A lot of football is still left to be played in the tournament. But on the surface, the five-team format suggests that every match is a must-win for India to ensure a smooth passage to the final. Of course, there will be mathematical calculations as every team moves ahead. Sri Lanka, India’s opponents, are, however, yet to win a match – having lost

Stimac : we are ourselves guilty for not winning the match against Bangladesh

  Indian National Team Head Coach Igor Stimac admitted “we are ourselves guilty for not winning the match against Bangladesh.” Speaking about India’s first match, he mentioned: “We had everything in control, we dominated the game, and had a one-nil advantage, and even had a one-man advantage. But despite all of that, for some unknown reasons, we started giving away simple passes, making unnecessary mistakes. And if you boost the confidence of your opponent, that’s how it finishes when you give them a chance.” India lost lead to a 10-man Bangladesh as their first match in the SAFF Championship 2021 ended 1-1. India next play Sri Lanka in their next match day after (October 7). The Blue Tigers, today, had their recovery session in the gym, and will hit the training ground again tomorrow (October 6). Referring to the match against Bangladesh, Stimac added: “We were punished today for not being reasonable in certain situations, and for not using our experience. This is an experienced India

India held to a draw by Bangladesh at SAFF Championship 2021

  India were held to a 1-1 draw by Bangladesh in the former’s opening match of the SAFF Championship 2021, at the National Football Stadium, in Male, Maldives, on Monday, October 4. Captain Sunil Chhetri had put the Blue Tigers in the lead, before Bangladesh went down to 10 men after Biswanath Ghosh was given his marching order soon after the second half restart. However, Yeasin Arafat scored for Bangladesh to put his side to level terms in the second half. The Blue Tigers had a strong start to the match, as they got on the attack and troubled the Bangladesh defence from the get-go. Liston Colaco had a lively start to the match, sending a free-kick towards Chhetri, a chance that was fended off by the Bangladesh defence. Soon after, the attacking midfielder jinxed past a couple of defenders on the right, and pinged in his cross, but the defence again managed to get to the end of the cross. India centre back Chinglensana Singh came out with an early tackle on Md. Matin Miah, who had latc

Edu Bedia powers FC Goa to victory in Durand Cup 2021 final

 Edu Bedia led from the front as his goal in extra-time helped FC Goa beat Mohammedan SC 1-0 to bag their maiden Durand Cup title. The Salt Lake Stadium roared with crowds chanting for local favourites Mohammedan SC as the final got underway. The intensity of the encounter was surging as both sides pushed hard at each other from the first minute. When the clock ticked seven, Alberto Noguera produced a beautiful cut-back from the left flank which found both Muhammed Nemil and Alexander Romario. However, what could have been a scoring opportunity was missed as the two lacked communication and found the gloves of the Mohammedan keeper Zothanmawia. Six minutes later, Azharuddin Mallick of the home side was booked by the referee - becoming the first to be handed a yellow card of the evening with many more to follow. Nikola Stojanovic was the second to see yellow. With the tempers running high in the all-important game, the players were cantankerous, intending to generate something out of no

A couple of days prior to the kick-off of India’s campaign against Bangladesh in the SAFF Championship in the Maldives, Indian National Team Head CoachIgor Stimac stated that the Blue Tigers won’t be approaching any specific set plan for the SAFF Championship.   “We will be playing a style which will bring us results,” he averred. Referring to the two matches played on the inaugural day, the Head Coach said, “There was one counter-attack by Nepal in their match against Maldives, and they won the game despite Maldives being the better side. We don’t know what each game will bring to us on the plate. We will adapt to everything that is thrown at us.”   “We are trying to provide all necessary information to our players about our opposition, and motivate ourselves. We came here four days before the tournament, and we have trained on artificial and natural grass. We are taking good care of the players, and explaining to them the possible situations,” Stimac informed.   “The play

Bhaichung, Jeje, Eugeneson the best I’ve played with in SAFF Championships: Sunil Chhetri

MALDIVES:  It’s been 13 years since Sunil Chhetri first appeared for India in a SAFF Championship match. Since then, he has been part of the Blue Tigers in four editions, with the forthcoming Championship (set to kick-off tomorrow October 1 – India begin their campaign on October 4) being his fifth one.   In a candid chat, Sunil takes a walk down memory lane and picks up his favourites from editions of the Championship that he has been a part of.    Which has been your favourite SAFF Championship so far? I will pick the one which we won in Kerala in the 2015-16 edition. The rivalry that we had with Afghanistan in the final, and the build-up to it was simply majestic. It is also because we had a lot of youngsters in the squad, and won it with just 19 players after Robin Singh got injured in the first match itself. Over 40,000 people turned up to cheer for us in the final. That will always stay with me.   Which has been your favourite goal from all the editions in which you
