The head coach of the Indian football team, Igor Stymak, believes that failure to score goal is a big problem and his team will have to overcome soon to win the match. India lost rhythm after making a good start to the World Cup qualifying 2022 campaign and could not make it to the third round by playing draws from teams like Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The Indian team, however, remained competitive in all five matches and also prevented Asian champions Qatar on the draw. Stimak told the official website of the world football body FIFA that failure to score goals is our biggest problem right now. We are playing and trying well but doing mistakes in the last moments. We need to find a solution to this.

He said that we have to find a solution to this. We have also changed the team's style of play. Now we are giving long passes short and I have really seen progress in this area. The figures also witness that there has been an improvement in terms of ball control. India have three points from five matches and are fourth in their group, ending their chances of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. Stimak, who was a member of Croatia's third-place team in the 1998 World Cup, said, "I only hope for better results."

Stimak said that he enjoyed every moment as the coach of the Indian team after assuming office six months ago. He said, I have enjoyed every moment till now. It is an honor to lead the national team of such a big and great country. There is passion here. People may not consider India as a football lover but it depends on which area you have been. Cricket is dominant in some areas but football is important for people in other areas as it was for me in Croatia. '
