#5 China represent India’s best chance for points
Trending
China have had the misfortune of playing the top two sides in the BRICS Cup right at the start, going down by two goals to Brazil in their opening encounter, which they were lucky was not by a larger scoreline. The Chinese also went down 1-4 to Russia, as they struggled to deal with the excellent movement of both these sides.
Thus, India will come up against a side low in morale, but since the Indian Colts have lost out to both Russia and South Africa, China represents India’s best chance of a positive result, with the game against Brazil likely to be a step too far.
It’s a bit ironic, given that China have plowed millions into the development and scouting of their youth side, while India have made do with whatever little they could manage. This will be an even contest, no doubt, as while China have looked poor so far in defence, they have threatened while going forward and India need to be wary when they meet on the 11th.
