AGENCIES, VASCO: Far too dominant India colts scored a solitary goal victory over Felda United FC, Malaysia in the FAM-Frenz Asia Champions Trophy 2015 at Tilak Maidan, Vasco, on Wednesday.
The India U-18 team after three matches has secured four points.
In a match which could have been sealed well by the interval itself, the colts had to eventually wait till the 85th minute – on omnipresent Lallianzuala Chhangte placing it in past a diving rival goalkeeper Amirul Rahman.
Lee Johnson, the head coach of India U-19 laughed it off as to whether it was frustrating to see those chances going beyond the target.
“The win was long overdue. I want to create a winning mentality. Players need to win and kill off games. When we created opportunities, you need to be ruthless. We could have won by a much bigger margin,” he stated.
“We need to be a bit more decisive and creative in those situations,” he added.
“I reiterate this wasn’t our strongest team. We are looking at new players, trying out different positions as we want to take our best to the AFC U-19 Qualifiers. The players need the licence to be creative and be fearless.”
