Jose Carlos Barroso: India’s head coach Manolo Marquez, who is celebrating his 44th birthday on Saturday, has spoken about the ‘reality’ of the Indian football team. The Spaniard suggested that the team can beat Syria in their final Intercontinental Cup fixture but it will be a difficult fixture.

“I am quite satisfied with the attitude with which the guys have been working. What’s most important at this stage is to understand where we are at this moment,” Manolo Marquez told the AIFF media team.

"It will be a difficult game against Syria, but I do not want to give any excuses. I want to speak about reality. They have 10 players who play in Europe or South America, and of course, such opponents will be stronger,” he further said
