Ahead of India's quarterfinal clash against his side in the ongoing AFC U-16 Championship, South Korea head coach Kim Jung Soo credited the Indian side for being "deserving quarterfinalists".
In the official press conference, Kim said: "India deserve to be in the quarter-final stages and each team that has qualified for the quarter finals should be considered as favourites."
Soo heaped praise on the Indian defence line that has not conceded so far in the tournament, saying: "The Indian defence line does its job well and I give them credit for keeping three clean sheets in the three matches of the group stages."
