Indian National Team midfielder Halicharan Narzary has urged the sports loving fans of Guwahati to come over and cheer for the National Team on June 7 when India take on Laos in the play-offs for the AFC Asian Cup 2019 UAE Qualifiers at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati, Assam.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cGuwahati is a sports loving City. The passion for Football is unparallel in this City,\u201d Narzary certified. \u201cCome over and cheer for us. Crowd support from the stands adds to ur motivation,\u201d he declared.<\/div>\n

Later speaking to www.the-aiff.com<\/a>, Narzary said: \u201cI am confident that the fans will turn up for the match. The passion here in this part of the Country for Football is seen to be believed.\u201d<\/p>\n

After registering a solitary goal win over Laos in the first-leg many may dub India as favourites to win the tie. But Halicharan Narzary feels otherwise. \u201cThere is no room for complacency,\u201d he said at a Media Interaction prior to India\u2019s practice session at the Stadium on Sunday (June 5).<\/p>\n

\u201cLaos are a good Team and they tested us in the 1st leg of the tie. They have pace in attack and are relentless runners,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be at the top of our game if we have to defeat them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although India dominated the 1st leg of the tie and fostered numerous goal scoring chances the \u2018Men in Blue\u2019 could only lodge one on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should have won the 1st leg by a much larger goal margin. We attacked a lot but had nothing to flaunt for the chances created. But life is all about how you correct your mistakes as you go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Indian Team had their first practice session on Sunday evening under the lights after their arrival from Vientiane.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to be clinical in attack. We have to perform better as it is our home game if we are to make it count. We have to give our cent percent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an influx of youngsters in the new-look Indian side at the moment. \u201cThe young Players are very hardworking and are determined. As a budding Player you need to have the attitude to work hard and these Players have them. But we all have a long way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Narzary credited National Coach Stephen Constantine for helping him to become a better Player. \u201cThe Coach gives us a lot of support morally and technically. When you have someone at the helm who has the patience and backs you to the hilt, it boils down to the Players to repay him.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
