We Should Have Won The Game Against Bangladesh, Says Sandesh Jhingan
Asian Cup Qualifiers: It's no secret that the March FIFA window left a sour taste in the mouths of the Indian men's national team players and head coach Manolo Marquez. While the wait for a first win in 16 months came to an end against Maldives, defender Sandesh Jhingan admitted that the goalless draw with Bangladesh was a substandard start to the Asian Cup Qualifiers. Now, all focus turns to the crucial away tie against Hong Kong on June 10.
It was the first time since June 2023 that India kept two clean sheets in a row. That's one side of the picture. For Jhingan, the bigger picture is that clean sheets are not enough, and only victory can satisfy the Blue Tigers.
"Each game we go into, we want to win. The same goes for the opponents we face. It always feels good to keep a clean sheet, but we've come a long way from that. We cherish the clean sheet, but we know we should've won that game," Jhingan said.
