India 0-0 NZ: India yet to concede but under pressure in opening half

IND vs NZ Football Live Score: What did India's head coach Khalid Jamil say ahead of second friendly?

"If you see the result, it was not up to the mark, but the players are giving their best. The attitude of the players has been very good. We were playing against a stronger team, no doubt, but there is no excuse. We need to rectify our mistakes and fight back. In tomorrow's game, every player must take responsibility and give everything," Jamil said.

"We are playing an away game, and there is a seven-and-a-half-hour time difference. We had only one day of practice before travelling, and then had to play within two days. It takes time to adjust. Sometimes the mind is ready, but the body is not. But now everybody is settled, I believe.

"The result, yes, it is my mistake. There were individual errors as well that led to the goals we conceded. But one good thing is the attitude of the players. They are ready to bounce back."
