India head coach Igor Stimac lauded his boys for the sheer heart they showed at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Doha, Qatar, despite the 0-2 defeat against Australia in their opening Group B Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup match on Saturday. "I am proud of my boys. They showed that they are a bunch of honest, hard-working people who are committed to whatever we ask of them. They are ready to keep working without sleep, and I must praise them for it," said Stimac after the game, as quoted by an All India Football Federation (AIFF) press release.
