ndia goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh ISandhu feels the team has moulded itself into a battle-hardened unit but it still needs to find the back of the net consistently to improve its winning ratio in top-flight football. “I think, of late, we have turned ourselves into a team which is tough to beat. We just have to add something more to it which is scoring to get the points on the table and we have that quality,” Gurpreet said. Skipper Sunil Chhetri had promised to put their best foot forward in the upcoming qualifiers against Afghanistan and Oman, Gurpreet also said they will have to get something substantial out of the two matches. “Both games are difficult. Oman are a very good side and have quality play- ers, whereas Afghanistan will be tough to play against in Tajikistan. But we have to go there with a strong approach to get something out of the two games,” the country’s first-choice goalkeeper said. Gurpreet said coach Igor Stimac has been smart in introducing a host of new faces. “We have grown stronger with the introduction of the young players who will improve with time.” While Chhetri felt the team is still far from fully implementing coach Stimac’s vision, Gurpreet said they are gradually getting accustomed to his phi- losophy. “Yes, the team is getting accus- tomed with the system but most impor- ' .'. <5 $ 0 !% 'J. tantly getting used to each other as well playing with the ball.” ' ./01/23% in the future. reminisce about the goal.
