AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia: Despite things not going India's way as they suffered three defeats, Lallianzuala Chhangte proclaimed how big of a learning curve the AFC Asian Cup 2024 was for him and the entire squad, and how the Blue Tigers are taking those learnings forward as they battle for qualification for the 2027 edition.
"We were in the same group as some of the best countries in Asia (Australia, Uzbekistan, and Syria). Even though the last Asian Cup wasn't the best experience, individually, I learned a lot in terms of making the right decision at key moments. As a team, I believe that that setback shaped our character and built us into better players and better human beings as well," Chhangte told the-aiff.com.
"Now, we're really looking forward to the next challenge. Right now, our main focus is to qualify for the Asian Cup again."
