India head coach Ranjan Chaudhuri said on the eve of the game, \u201cBangladesh are traditionally one of the stronger teams in this competition, and we will have to bring our best to the table tomorrow (Monday).\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Blue Colts, having scored just two goals, are among the lowest scorers of the tournament among the teams in the last four. However, Chaudhuri remained bullish about his performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe are the only side that has not conceded a single goal yet. Our defensive orientation has been pretty good in the last two matches. But we cannot sit on our laurels. We must also continue this good work in the knockout stage,\u201d said Chaudhuri. \u201cWhen you have a stable defence, your attackers have a strong base from which to build,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India, have, however, been working tirelessly on improving their game up front. \u201cWe have got two good training sessions after the last game, and that has really helped us work on our finishing,\u201d said Chaudhuri. \u201cThe boys had created a lot of chances against Bhutan and Maldives, but finishing was an area of concern.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIf we can properly implement the things that we have worked on over the last couple of days, we can get a good result and then look ahead from there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India will welcome back the services of centre-back Pramveer and playmaker Vanlalpeka Guite after they served their one-match suspension for being sent off against Bhutan in their opening match. However, they will miss striker Monirul Molla, who scored the winner against Bhutan, after he was shown a yellow card in each of the two group-stage matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
