Asian Games: Won’t Have Training Session Before First Game, Will Do Tactical Preparation On Flight, Says Igor Stimac
All India Football Federation: The Indian men's football team head coach, Igor Stimac stated that since his team will not get enough time for the training sessions, tactical preparation will be done on the flight board to Hangzhou, ahead of its Asian Games match against host China in Hangzhou on Tuesday.
The scuffle between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the Indian Super Leagues (ISL) clubs over the release of many players for the Asian Games delayed the time for preparation.
“The players are arriving at the airport at 5-6 p.m. today. We have a flight at 10 p.m. and will reach Hong Kong at 7 a.m. We then need to wait another 5-6 hours to take a flight to Hangzhou, where we will reach at 5 p.m. (on Monday). We will not have a single training session before the game. We will give tactical preparation at the airport and on the flight. We need to let players rest once we reach Hangzhou before the first game,” said Stimac.
