Marquez: Dressing room 'like a funeral' but still hopeful after Hong Kong loss
The Daily Guardian
|June 12, 2025
"The dressing room is like a funeral," said Indian football head coach Manolo Marquez as he struggled to explain the 0-1 loss to Hong Kong here even though he remained optimistic about the team's chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
India conceded in the fifth minute of stoppage time on Tuesday, slumping to a second straight goalless outing in Asian Cup qualifiers, jeopardizing their chances of qualifying for the Asian Cup.
"We are not very happy. We are sad. The dressing room is like a funeral, practically," Marquez said when a question on the future of the team came up, insisting that it was not the time to dwell on that aspect.
"But I still think that India has possibilities to qualify," he declared nonetheless in the post-match press conference.
