India's FIFA U-17 women's World Cup coach Thomas Dennerby feels his team has got sufficient time to prepare for the tournament, which the country is hosting next year.

On the challenges ahead, he said, "We have like 300 days and have 350 sessions or more. Normally as a head coach, you usually get the senior team players on the international dates -- 60-80 days in a year and a lot depends on how far you can go in major tournaments.

"Here, you have around four times of that. So I hope we have a really good chance to develop the team and have a good tournament."
"To help a country like India to have a successful World Cup would be very exciting."
"The mental part is one of the things we need to work. The girls haven't played a championship before. Whatever you do the first game of the World Cup will be the first for these girls and we can't change that."
