Nightmare of Indian team in AFC Challengers Cup 2012 is finally ended today following a 0-4 defeat against the best side of the tournament North Korea in Nepal. Lasttime AFC Champion Indian team finished their tournament three defeats out of three matches in group B. Regarding the past performance in this tournament everybody expected an allout fight from the Indian side today against the giant opponent North Korea but they never looked well committed to do anything better, as usual no co-ordination between defence, midfield & forwardline, result conceded 4 goals. Jon Kwang IK scores the first goal for Korea in 4th minute, Ri Kwang Hyok doubled the score in 34th minute, Pak Nam Chol makes it 3-0 in 58th minute & Ri Chol Myong makes it 4-0 in 70th minute. India couldn’t gain anything apart from the shame only form this tournament. Indian side have been suffering of converting goals throughout this tournament due to poor tactics of Indian Coach Savio Medeira & poor penetrative ability of Sunil Chhetri. Nobody knows how does a player like Sunil Chhetri who couldn’t convert a single sitter into goal, gets the captain’s armband of this country, it bared the vision of AIFF once again.
