"We need to rectify our mistakes and move on, winning and losing are part and parcel of the game. We are all set for the next game and we're rearing to give it a shot," the player from Manipur said. Recollecting the atmosphere in the first match, Suresh echoed they were 'not nervous but excited' before stepping onto the pitch against USA in the first match. "Representing the nation in front of a 55,000-strong crowd is something which you can't explain in words; it's electrifying. It's already history and thankfully, we are part of it," Suresh said.

Meanwhile, the sturdy midfielder felt that there is room for improvement in the offensive areas. "Our final pass was not up to the mark against the USA. We can make it better," the midfielder said. "They are a very physical side. We are expecting a taxing game."
