#1 Attacking intent
There is a hunger in this Indian team, a desire to get on the ball, and that was a welcome change. After thumping Thailand, India faced a real challenge against UAE, who were a far stronger opposition. However, India looked unperturbed on the night, and showed courage, grit and determination that should make every fan proud.
After weathering the storm in the first 10 minutes, India embarked on an adventure of their own. Even though UAE won the game in the end, it was not a walk in the park for them. India's attacking intent and desire to go forward kept UAE occupied and gave them a lot of headaches. It is this desire, this attacking intent of the whole team that is the biggest positive of the night.
The Men in Blue wasted little time on the ball, keeping it moving continuously. They had their sights on goal throughout the game and relentlessly attacked the opposition. India put together wave after wave of attack and some of the intricate exchange of passes were a treat to the eyes.
India might have lost the game, but their desire to play attacking football won the hearts of the millions of fans and this is the biggest positive from the night.
