However, coach Saintfiet, when explained about his squad of including some new players and not to consider others, who were in the last match against Bhutan said, “The last few weeks we analysed the 0-0 result, what was good what was bad. We saw some league matches. It is not an easy task to select final 23.” 
“I followed three criteria to select players – number one, performance on club level – I have watched 36 league matches which are quite a lot, two, performance in national team level and training sessions and three, tactical choice of our game, climate, altitude and everything.” 
“It is a must win game. If we draw 1-1 we will be satisfied. But we must qualify, it is do or die match.”
