Coach

“We were playing in heavy snow, which you probably don’t expect in India. But they have shown great determination to get another win. The boys showed some real character under the difficult conditions and they have done that all year.”

Honestly, it’s been remarkable what they have achieved in their first full season in the top flight of Indian football. It’s important we don’t lose focus for the difficult matches at the end of the season.”
