China 0-0 India: 3 shortcomings India needs to improve before the Asian Cup

# 3. Converting the final touch

India had their chances against China to score- Not just one, but many. Oh boy! Think what would have been the headlines if one of them had converted it.

Even with all the possession China enjoyed, and relentless attacks Chinese players launched on the Indian goal-line, the Indian defense and the tall custodian stood firm to thrwart them.

The Indian forwards

Had Pritam played that shot a bit wider? Had Sunil Chettri got a better touch on that ball? Had Udanta held his nerves? Even Farukh..

It can be said that the Indian defense and the goalkeeper won them the draw, but the Indian forwards failed to capitalize on the D-day.

Stephen Constantine will definitely look at improving the quality of play in the final third. In football, when the opportunity comes, it should be grabbed with both hands, and it should be something the Indian team will need to work on before going to the Asian Cup, where they will have to counter much better oppositions than China and will need to score a goal to show that Indian Football has seen tremendous changes over the last decade.
