India-Egypt
Indian women's football side ready for Egypt challenge
New Delhi/UNI: Team India's senior women football squad will take on lower ranked Egypt on Wednesday in a friendly at the Prince Mohammed Stadium in Zarqa, Jordan.
Head coach Thomas Dennerby said that putting in a good performance after a break will be important for the girls.
“It promises to be a good game, against Egypt, and all the girls are feeling ready to return to the pitch once again.
“We have a lot of respect for all our opponents, but that does not change our approach to any game. We always want to put in a good performance and play to win,” he said.
Captain and centre-back Ashalata Devi believes the team is excited to be back playing international matches together, and a brief camp in Goa has helped get them together to train for the matches against Egypt and Jordan.
Ashalata said, “It feels great to be back in national colours once again, after a short break. We're all pumped up and ready to go."
“We have had a good camp in Goa, and it has helped us to assess ourselves before going for the two matches. Let's hope for the best,” she said.
