India would look to put behind the disappointment of their opening match loss to the UAE and get their act together when they take on Saudi Arabia in their second Group A game of the AFC U-16 Championship here on Sunday.
India had started off well in the last match but failed to sustain the momentum and eventually succumbed to a 2-3 defeat.
Coach Nicolai Adam said that the team are keen to win and will put their best foot forward on Sunday.
“The atmosphere after the opening match was not good. But I told them that we have to experience the suffering, and that energy we will put into the next game,” said the coach.
“I don’t consider the game a must-win. We will continue our work. But we want to win and we will do our best,” he added.
Saudi Arabia also put in a dominant first-half showing in their opening fixture but were poor after the break. They will also be desperate to turn the tables around when the clash with the home team.
“Losing the first gamewas of course upsetting for the whole team,” said coach Mohammed al Abdali.
