India, who lost their away match against North Korea, have no option but to go all out for a win against their formidable rivals when the two sides meet here tomorrow in the return match of the group G preliminary round qualifying Asian Cup football match at the Nehru Stadium.With the experienced striker Baichung Bhutia, reliable defender Debjit Ghosh and promising striker Ashim Biswas being ruled out for tomorrow’s tie, the Indian young turks will have to depend on the experience of I M Vijayan and in-form captain Jo Paul Ancheri to deliver the goods.Having lost 0-2 in their away match, the Indians are aware that they will have to beat the Koreans by at least 2-0 margin and see that they don’t concede any goal as according to tournament guidelines issued by the Asian Football Confederation, an away goal counts for two in the ultimate goal analysis.“It will definitely be a tough game and it will be difficult to beat the Koreans, who only need a draw to move into the next round. We will adopt a defensive game (5-4-1) with only one striker in front and try to pin us on the backfoot on counter attack and we are ready for that.” A confident Indian coach Stephen Constantine said.For the Koreans, stamina would be a crucial factor as they are not accustomed to the sultry heat. “If our boys are able to get them tired in the first half and get an early goal, we stand a good chance to snatch a victory,” Constantine added.
