Dressing Room Like A Funeral, But We're Still Hopeful, Says Marquez After Hong Kong Defeat
AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia: India head coach Manolo Marquez remains hopeful of qualification to the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 despite the India men's football team's heartbreaking 0-1 away defeat to Hong Kong, China here on Tuesday.
A 94th-minute penalty, converted by substitute Stefan Pereira, left India with just a point from two matches in Group C. With Singapore defeating Bangladesh 2-1 in Dhaka, Marquez's side now sits at the bottom of the group with no goals scored. Only the group winner will qualify for the AFC Asian Cup.
Yet despite the growing pressure, Márquez said, “I still think that India have possibilities to qualify. Obviously, we are sad. The dressing room is like a funeral. But we’re still in the fight.”
