Asian Games: Where and how to watch China vs India game?

It hasn't been a month that China have defeated India in a continental competition.

Igor Stimac, the head coach of the Indian men’s football team, stated in a press conference that the Blue Tigers will use the duration of the journey for tactical preparation before its Asian Games opening match against China in Hangzhou on Tuesday because there won’t be any time left for training sessions.

The team’s preparations for the Asian Games were interrupted by the dispute between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs over the release of their players ahead of AFC and opening matches of the ISL.

In the Asian Games, the Indian men’s national football team is paired with China, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, and three games are scheduled over the course of five days. Here’s what Igor Stimac said in the press conference ahead of their upcoming Asian Games battles.

Igor Stimac’s team plans against China in Asian Games

Igor Stimac shared his thoughts on Sunday’s press conference ahead of their upcoming battle against China in the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games. Here’s what the gaffer said about India’s team planning and strategies for their match against the strong side China.

Igor Stimac told, “Don’t be surprised if I leave out Sunil Chhetri and Jhingan for the first game.” “We will not have a single training session prior to the game. “Sunil missed full pre-season with Bengaluru FC because of paternity leave. We won’t risk Sunil getting injured before the World Cup qualifiers. We will sit down and talk to Sunil and Jhingan.”

The gaffer further added, ” We will give tactical preparation at the airport and on the flight. We need to let players rest once we reach Hangzhou before the first game.” “I am not thinking about the China game, I’m thinking of Bangladesh and Myanmar. This Chinese team has been playing together for some time. They will play in a 4-4-2 formation and they have a tower of a striker, they will be a very very tough opposition. we need to consider if we want to invest our full energy into this game or skip it.”
