Once chance can decide a game and I wanted to have Prince as an attacking player with speed at the end of the match. I also thought that Cleiton is a little bit tired and there was a chance to bring a fresh striker. Sunil (Chhetri) had an opportunity to score. If it is a goal then everything is right and the coach makes the right decision," he said during the post-match press conference that you can watch above.
