New Delhi, Sep 14 (UNI) “We are ready as ever,” India football U-16 National Coach Bibiano Fernandes, said on the team’s arrival in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Saturday for the forthcoming AFC U-16 Qualifiers.
India have been clubbed with hosts Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Bahrain in Group B in the qualifiers, and first play Turkmenistan on September 18. Bibiano’s boys are currently on an 11-match winning streak, that extends from their tour of Thailand, to the SAFF Championship, and down to the two friendlies they played in Turkey, earlier this week.
“The team is as ready as ever for the AFC Qualifiers. We have all been preparing for these three matches for months now. We have our sights set firmly on them,” Bibiano stated after the team landed in Tashkent.
