We will carry the good feeling from Brazil to the Chile game, says Thomas Dennerby

New Delhi: Indian Women’s Team will take the positives from their previous match against Brazil, and head into the game against Chile with a lot of confidence on their back, feels head coach Thomas Dennerby.

The Indian Women’s Team is currently in Manaus, Brazil, where they have already played the hosts and are now set to play against Chile at the Arena da Amazonia in their second match of the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Feminino, which kicks off at 2.30 am IST on 29 November.

On the eve of the match, India head coach Thomas Dennerby said that his side showed a lot of positive intent against Brazil, something that will give them a lot of confidence heading into the match against Chile.

“Definitely, we have a good feeling from the Brazil game, and we will take that forward into the game against Chile. The result will not affect the girls, because they played quite well against one of the best teams in the world,” he stated.

“The girls kept fighting until the very end, and have shown a good fighting spirit. We also created a lot of good chances against them, and maybe we should have scored two goals in the first half, if we had been a bit lucky. Maybe, if we had gone ahead 2-1 at that point, Brazil would have been under more pressure, and things may have been a bit different,” said Dennerby.

However, Dennerby was wary of the weaknesses that the team has been ironing out over the past four months, and believes that though the defence was in great shape against Brazil, the team still needed to work on their clearances.

India will take on Chile at the Arena da Amazonia in Manaus Brazil, at 2.30 am IST on Monday, 29 November, 2021. The match will be streamed live on the Indian Football Team's Facebook page and the Indian Football YouTube channel.
