Win Against Tajikistan Was Huge Motivation For Us, Says Jamil Ahead Of Iran Clash
CAFA Nations Cup: The Indian men’s national team, after defeating hosts Tajikistan last week, are now winding up for the clash against Asian giants IR Iran in the CAFA Nations Cup at the Hisor Central Stadium in Hisor, Tajikistan, which will kick off on Monday.
India head coach Khalid Jamil credited the victory against the hosts to the unity amongst the entire team. “The win was all down to the unity that the players showed on the pitch. They all worked in unison. Not only the players, but the entire staff – the technical, non-technical, and medical staff all worked together, and the unity within the team is visible,” Jamil told AIFF's official website on the eve of the match.
India (133rd in the FIFA rankings) next face Iran (ranked 20th), a match that may very well be termed as a ‘David versus Goliath’ affair. The India head coach, however, is focussed on getting the Blue Tigers up and ready for the match against the Asian giants.
