Dennerby speaks about the Indian team being part of the World Cup for the first time ever. He speaks It’s a new situation for everyone as India has never played the World Cup before this is a different ball game altogether.
Adding further he says, It’s a unique chance to show everyone that they have prepared well and will not allow anyone to run over them.
He also adds, when one is on the field you have to hold everything back and just focus on the game which is exactly the same these girl needs to do for FIFA Cup.
They are not going into the tournament as the favourites as he believes that pressure then is on the opponents.
Adding on he adds, The performance is key for them and he hopes the girls are not much nervous and will play with confidence. One cannot be nervous and perform at the same time as its time to get the ball rolling.
