Bhubaneswar: The FIFA Under-17 World Cup is currently underway on the east and west coasts of India. So far 8 matches have been played in the first phase of this competition. All 16 teams have started the campaign by playing one match each. While some teams had a good start, host India’s performance in the World Cup was disappointing. The team, which played its first match at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, lost 0-8 to the United States. The host team is now fully prepared for the second match against Morocco. The match will be played at King’s Stadium on Friday at 8 pm. Before this, two strong teams USA and Brazil will face each other at 4.30 pm.
After losing the first match to USA, India are ready to put all their efforts to make a comeback. Thomas Denerby’s side will need to improve their form significantly to keep their hopes alive in the competition. Young Indian players have come to football after many struggles in their lives. “We lost to America in the first match. Now forget it and move on. If we win against Morocco, we can stay in the competition. I told the kids, forget defeat and prepare for tomorrow. Try to give your best. “We also hope to do well against Morocco,” Dennerby said.
On the other hand, Morocco, who came to play the World Cup for the first time, also started the campaign with defeat. Not by a large margin like India. The team lost to Brazil 0-1. Although they played well, they conceded defeat due to luck not cooperating. Looking at the results of the first day, Morocco is capable of beating any team with a balanced team. So this team will aim to get full 3 points against India.
