Marquez Claims India Was 'not Ready Physically' During Intercontinental Cup

FIFA International Match Window: India’s first assignment under head coach Manolo Marquez was a disappointment, to say the least. The side finished last in the tournament on goal difference after losing 0-3 to Syria and drawing 1-1 against Mauritius.

Following the game, Marquez has admitted that even though there were slight signs of improvements from their game against Mauritius, the "team was not ready physically" for Syria.

"It was a difficult tournament in all aspects. The team is not ready physically. All our players are in pre-season. Physically and technically, Syria were better. Against Mauritius, the game was very equal. At least today, it's true that the second half was okay. We deserved to score a goal. Three-nil isn't a fair reflection at all," said Marquez after the defeat to Syria.
