Tough test for Khalid Jamil

Khalid Jamil, the newly appointed head coach of India, had an unbelievable start to his international managerial career as India trounced Tajikistan for the first time in 17 years, and that too at their home. There was an element of doggedness in India’s performance.

The Blue Tigers had to defend deep, and they did, but did not squander opportunities to score goals. The match against Tajikistan made it clear that Khalid Jamil would focus on the defensive solidity and play a more direct style of football.

However, it would not be difficult for Khalid Jamil to execute his plans against Iran. The Asian giants are capable of breaking defenses playing in a low block. Iran have some lethal forwards at their disposal, who have been in fine form coming into the tournament.

A young Indian team, in the absence of some key players, will have to pull off a miraculous performance to scrape anything from this game. One respite for India will be the likelihood of Iran’s star striker Mehdi Taremi not being available for the game. But Iran have a plethora of attacking talent that can hammer the Indian defense.
