Kathmandu: Nepali national football team Captain Kiran Chemjong has said that the confidence of the players has increased after the arrival of the new coach Abdullah Almutairi.
He is currently in Kuwait to play in the joint selection of the World Cup 2022 and Asia Cup 2023. He said that the confidence of the players has increased due to the coach.
"I started playing for the national team 13-14 years ago. The current coach has given confidence. "We have created an atmosphere of confidence for all the players to play," Kiran told ANFA media and media persons in Kuwait on Friday.
Nepal, in Group B of the qualifiers, had defeated Chinese Taipei 2-0 on Thursday. This is the first time that Nepal has played a competitive game since Almutairi became the coach. Earlier on Saturday, Nepal had lost 6-2 in a friendly match against Iraq.
Kiran also said that he got to experience a new kind of football after the arrival of a new coach. "The new players also played effectively against Iraq. There was continuity even yesterday. '
He said that for the first time in 13 years of his career, he played the game in a new way. Kiran said that now the confidence of Nepali players to score goals and attack has increased.
Goal to win the game
Anjan Bista, who scored in the game against Chinese Taipei, said his goal was to win the game rather than score. Anjan scored from the penalty spot in the third minute of the game against Chinese Taipei. Another goal was scored by alternate player Navayug Shrestha.
Anjan said that after reaching the field, they have to play for the victory and score goals to win. "Once we get on the field, we play for the win. If you win, the goal will come out. If you want to win, you have to score a goal, I scored yesterday, others score in other games but the main goal is to win, 'he said.
Midfielder Pujan Uparkoti said that he was playing in the new system after the arrival of the new coach and the team spirit was good. He said that the upcoming games will be more competitive and difficult.
