Winning against host will be an advantage

Kathmandu, NEPAL - Indian coach Wim Koevermans has insisted that it will be an added advantage for his side to win against the host in front of their supporters.

“It is good to have such a big crowd and atmosphere and it will help the home team but we will have to fight. It will be great (to beat Nepal in front of their fans), yes. Even in Myanmar we played well but just like yesterday we didn’t take our chances and then conceded and eventually didn’t get the result,” sportskeeda reported saying by Koevermans.

The 53 year old dutchman is very confident of progressing to the semifinals of the regional biggest football fiesta.

“We have four points but could have had six. I feel we dropped two yesterday although many people will say we were lucky to get one. I believe we are creating plenty of chances and just have to start taking them”

India will face host Nepal in the last match of the group stage today. Doors are open for all the four teams of Group A to advance to the semifinal.
