"Just because we are on the top in Group 'A', there is a buzz that we would win the match. I have seen many things not happening when I thought it would. Therefore, I would prefer to stay calm," he said. "Some sides may look weaker on paper, but that does not guarantee a win." Talking about the significance of Asia Cup, Chhetri said it is a massive and the biggest tournament for any Asian country to participate in. Replying to a query, Chhetri said the team has a strategy to break the defence of Macau since it was too good in the their previous match.
