Technique and speed of thought are behind India scoring 28 goals in five matches during their triumphant campaign in the SAFF U-15 Championship, according to its head coach Bibiano Fernandes.
"Every team-building process must start with scouting," said Fernandes.
"We started before February in the Subroto Cup. Then there was the Hero Junior League, and along with that, we had open trials in many states. I personally oversaw some of the trials, while (assistant coach) Kanan (Priolkar) also scouted in some states."
"I am sure in another 5-6 years, we will have a much better team than what we have right now."
