Cafa nations cup

CAFA Nations Cup: Indian footballer Sumit Rathi has praised new India head coach Khalid Jamil for creating a positive atmosphere in the national team setup and increasing competition among players through a simple and clear approach.

Rathi said Indian coaches understand Indian players better and highlighted it as one of Jamil’s biggest strengths since taking charge of the national team.

“To be honest, Indian coaches understand Indian players better. That is a fact. That is a plus point in the atmosphere of the current national team. It is very important for any country. His vision is very clear. He won’t go to the players and say that you have to do this. He won’t complain that we didn’t play in one style or didn’t get enough training sessions. He tells us to do what is our strong point,” Rathi told IANS.
