FIFA official pats India
India may have made a group stage exit in the Under-17 World Cup but their spirited show has impressed FIFA head of coaching and player development, Branimir Ujevic, who urged them to learn from mistakes and focus on the future.
Kolkata: India may have made a group stage exit in the Under-17 World Cup but their spirited show has impressed FIFA head of coaching and player development, Branimir Ujevic, who urged them to learn from mistakes and focus on the future.
Having blanked 0-3 by USA in their U-17 World Cup opener, India put up an impressive display to equalise against Colombia, but conceded in the very next minute to dash hopes of securing their first point in a FIFA tournament.
"It was obvious that they played adaptive game in the first match but they were amazing against Colombia. They were very organised, tactically and physically well-prepared," Ujevic told reporters in a group league review news conference at the Salt Lake Stadium.
"I give credit to the Indian people. I felt like I'm coming to Santiago, Old Trafford because of so many enthusiastic people who really enjoy football," he added.
