India U-16 football team head coach Bibiano Fernandes has lauded his his boys' come-from-behind effort against Bangkok Glass FC U-17, calling it a brave performance and a confidence booster ahead of their game against Thailand.
Down 0-2, India fought back with two goals in the final moments to hold the Thailand side.
"It was a show of immense determination and courage on display with a never-give-up attitude," Bibiano maintained.
"These are the kind of performances that helps us to believe in ourselves. The attitude of the boys was extraordinary and they kept pushing for more goals even with time running out."
"We played them in China recently and it won't be easy to play them here on their home ground. However, if we show composure in front of the goal then we can definitely overturn the result."
Referring to the previous match, Bibiano stated: "We were playing against a U-17 team and that was quite a challenge for us. But the boys proved yet again that we can fight back and face stronger opposition. The hunger and desire to win in this team is unparalleled."
