Football: ‘We Have To Play Our Best,’ Says Indian Women’s Team Captain Ashalata Ahead Of Uzbekistan Clash
Loitongbam Ashalata Devi: The Indian women’s football team probables are currently in a training camp ahead of their two upcoming international friendlies. Indian captain, Loitongbam Ashalata Devi had much to say about their familiar opponents. India will be facing Uzbekistan on May 31 and June 4 in two international friendlies. The Blue Tigresses earlier faced the same opposition twice in 2023 losing 2-3 and 0-1, respectively.
“Uzbekistan are a strong team though we have played quite a few matches against them in recent years. They seem to have changed the way they operate, however, since their Japanese coach (Midori Honda) took over.
"They used to play a lot of direct football before, with a lot of long, aerial balls to break down the opponents. They have now adopted a more technical game, where they like to keep the ball on the ground and play it between each other. We did reasonably well against them last year, but we have to be prepared to play our best game in these two matches,” said Devi to theaiff.com
