Defender Rahmat Mia also expressed his farm optimism to snatch points against India playing good brand of football.
“We have a return leg match against India on June 7, …. I played against India in the first leg away match …. I know their attacking side as well as strong and weak sides … we have another two sessions left and we have been shown in the field and meeting room of their (India) strong and weak points and we have been taught of how can we improve ……. we hope that we’ll be able to snatch point playing good brand of football against India,” said Rahmat Mia.
“Naturally, the defensive challenge against a big team is much more because if we make any silly mistake, then we have to concede goal, so we’ll have to pay more concentration so that we don’t make any mistakes,” he added.

Please everyone pray for me and our team.”
