Juan Benali: "I heard the NT coach complaining that India didn’t win Under-19, Under-17. How will they win in the first team? Well, it’s very easy. Come to see the games. Go to see the Under-19s. Make competition for the reserve teams and then complain." #isl10 #IndianFootball

This winning mentality is what #IndianFootball badly needed. Looking forward to see the momentum being sustained against #Nepal -- and in style, for it to be build upon further in the next three (possible matches). Good luck boys. #WeAreIndia #AsianDream #IndianFootball #NEPIND
