Goal spoke to India U-19 coach Floyd Pinto after his side's 7-2 win over Singapore U-19 at the Bambolim stadium in Goa.

Edmund Lalringka and Roshan Singh scored hat-tricks to calm the nerves in the dug-out and ensure a comfortable evening for the home side.

The coach was vary about the quality of opposition his team had to face going ahead. "[Singapore] are miles apart [from Saudi Arabia in terms of quality] but hopefully we can control the game in the second half. We can be much more effective in the final third and score more goals. We usually don't concede more than two goals against any side. So that's something we can work on" said Pinto.

Pinto also said that he wishes to assemble a core team of 13 or 14 players before the crucial fixtures that are coming up for his young team.

"Don't expect too many changes for the second game. If we're going to play Saudi Arabia, we need that core of 13 or 14 players." he signed off.
