JAIPUR: India striker
Holicharan Narzary
has sounded caution over the team not becoming 'complacent' ahead of India's second leg of 2019
UAE Asian Cup Qualifiers Playoffs
on Tuesday in Guwahati.
After registering a solitary goal win over
Laos
in the first-leg many may dub India as favourites to win the tie. But Narzary feels otherwise. "There is no room for complacency," he said.
"Laos are a good Team and they tested us in the 1st leg of the tie. They have pace in attack and are relentless runners," he added.
"We have to be at the top of our game if we have to defeat them."
Although India dominated the 1st leg of the tie and fostered numerous goal scoring chances the Stephen Constantine's charges could only lodge one on the scoreboard.
"We should have won the 1st leg by a much larger goal margin. We attacked a lot but had nothing to flaunt for the chances created. But life is all about how you correct your mistakes as you go forward."
The Indian team had their first practice session on Sunday evening under the lights after their arrival from Vientiane.
"We will have to be clinical in attack. We have to perform better as it is our home game if we are to make it count. We have to give our cent percent," he added.
