That was scathing from Manolo

Manolo Marquez did not mince his words, did he? He was fuming at the post-match interview with the broadcasters.

The question is why shouldn't he be? It was a chance for Sandesh Jhingan and co to dominate against a much lower ranked side but they come back with no goals to show for.

Vishal Kaith had a near horrendous debut at the goal and would consider himself lucky to walk away with a clean sheet. There were chances for the likes of Sunil Chhetri, Udanta Singh, and Farukh Choudhary but none of them were able to convert.

The only real solace for India, as Manolo pointed out was Liston on the left flank. There's a lot to work on for the Blue Tigers if they are to top the group and make it to the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
