But I am not happy about the way we played in the final match. My teammates did not play as we were supposed to play. We kept losing the ball due to overconfidence that we were not supposed to have.

That is what affected us. We should have won this game with a clear win of 3-4 goals to Nil. They should not have even scored us. But I thank God for how it ended.”
