Head coach Mohd Faizal Bin Sood said, \"We have thoroughly analysed our opponents, especially Thailand, to understand their approach to the game. Our focus has been on strengthening our defensive organisation, improving quick transitions, and refining our set-piece strategies.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Although India have not played beach soccer on the continental front for almost two decades, the head coach carries a positive outlook about the situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAs newcomers, our primary focus has been on physical conditioning, mental strength, and tactical preparation. India is still developing in beach soccer compared to more experienced teams like Thailand. We emphasise fitness to ensure we can match the high pace and intensity of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"This tournament will be a valuable experience for us, and we hope it helps us grow and develop for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the team\u2019s preparation, striker Amit Godara, a policeman in Rajasthan by profession, expressed confidence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRepresenting the nation seemed a far-fetched dream for me, but thanks to the AIFF\u2019s plans for beach soccer, I have been able to work on it, first through the national championships, and then through the national games, before I got selected for the national team,\u201d said Godara. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a good preparation, and the coaches have helped us a lot to understand how to operate at the international level. We are all looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
