“I am really angry and disappointed. When we started in Hyderabad against Mauritius it [the performance] was every time better. Today we took two or three steps back,” he said.
Summarising the game, he added: “Very, very poor performance in the first half especially. It was better in the second half but not [good] enough. I also agree that we were lucky not to concede a goal. And we were lucky to get the draw. We could have done so much better.”
In his short tenure as India coach, Marquez has only overseen one victory, the 3-0 triumph against Maldives last week. India have drawn four games and lost once to Syria in Marquez’s six games as the national team manager.
