Boys have ability to perform at big stage: U-16 coach Bibiano Fernandes

New Delhi, Jun 20 (UNI) India U-16 national team Head Coach Bibiano Fernandes sounded positive about the ‘tough draw’ for India’s campaign in the AFC U-16 Championship Bahrain 2020, reiterating his belief in the ability of his boys to perform at the big stage.
In a live chat with AIFF TV, Bibiano said, “I was following the draw live but I did not keep any expectations for it. When I saw our group, I told myself that my team has already given a good account of themselves in qualifiers. I believe from the bottom of my heart that these boys can perform against the countries in the group.”
The draw which was held at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Thursday saw India being clubbed alongside S Korea, Australia, and Uzbekistan in Group C. India had in the last edition in 2018 lost to S Korea by a solitary goal in the quarterfinals wherein a victory would have earned them a slot in the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
