After a draw, ​FIFA.com spoke exclusively to a series of coaches to get their evident reaction, and find out what they consider a initial FIFA contest in India binds in store.
Luis Norton de Matos, India coach
The hosts were drawn into Group A with Colombia, Ghana and USA
I like this challenge, even yet there are stronger favourites. USA usually missed one U-17 World Cup, Colombia are one of a strongest teams in South America, and Ghana are one of a best teams in Africa. The players are not thankful to win, though are thankful to play to win.
At a finish of any game, we wish a immature people to feel that they can play opposite large teams as equals. we feel it is probable with work. we feel we can move something to Indian football.Â
I consider a initial diversion [against USA] is a many important. I’m going to ready really well, as will a players, and if we win, we have a good possibility to progress. We will quarrel for that.
It is critical for us that a Indian people come to a stadium. We are going to play with 11 players on a pitch, and one from a stands. we was a football player, and we know we can play 10 to 20 per cent better, if we have this kind of support. What we wish is that people are unapproachable during a finish of a game.
Jonas Komla, Mali coach
2015 finalists were drawn into Group B with New Zealand, Paraguay and Turkey
All a teams in a organisation are really good, and we are happy to be confronting them. It is something that’s memorable for a players and I’m really certain about a venues we’ll play in too.
In Mali, there has been a good growth in terms of a recognition of football, not usually a popularity, though a professionalism of football. It’s gaining day by day. we wish to foster it and take that further.
I’m looking during it compare by match. The initial design is to get out of a group, and after that, we will see how we progress.
Christian Wuck, Germany coach
His side were drawn into Group C alongside Costa Rica, Guinea and Iran
It’s an engaging group. They are new teams that we don’t know most about, though from now, we will analyse their past games. we consider it will be a good contest for a players and a staff, so we are really propitious to be in India.
It’s really prohibited and really wet here and a players have to adapt, though we consider it’s a pleasing country, so I’m really happy to be here. We are going to Goa and to Kochi and demeanour how it will be.
We have a really good descent team. We have really gifted players, so we consider we are favourites here, though not a usually ones.
Michel Clarque, New Caledonia coach
His side were drawn into Group E with France, Honduras and Japan
We have been vital in a dream given Feb when we qualified. In a tiny republic of New Caledonia, to play a World Cup, it’s a smashing thing, a dream. we wish to share this dream with a players.
When we get behind home, we will tell them that now: your final plea is to do a best. Like Vanuatu in a U-20 World Cup, a tiny republic who did good opposite Mexico, Germany and Venezuela, if we can do as good as them, it will be good for Oceania as well.
I’ve played for a inhabitant group of New Caledonia and we don’t know what it is like to play during a World Cup. we know that it’s a illusory event, and we have to tell a kids that they will knowledge something amazing. Also, if they wish good results, they will have to work and work.
We wish to do a best to rise a players. These U-17s will afterwards turn U-20. This is a commencement of their story. we wish for them that it will go on.
