Felt like a funeral: India head coach Manolo Marquez on Hong Kong loss

Manolo Marquez

Indian football head coach Manolo Marquez compared the atmosphere in the dressing room to a ‘funeral' as he struggled to explain the 0-1 loss to Hong Kong in their AFC Asian Cup Qualifier on Tuesday.

"We are not very happy. The dressing room is like a funeral, practically," Marquez said at the post-match press conference. "Sometimes the team doesn't know how to draw. Today, if we couldn't win the game before the 90th minute, [we should have] at least tried to avoid defeat," Marquez added.
