India vs Syria: Clash for Intercontinental Cup Glory

Hosts India and Syria will face off in the decisive final game of the Intercontinental Cup. Both teams are preparing to battle for the trophy, with India seeking their second consecutive title. Syrian coach José Lana commends the Indian team's strategy, while India's Manolo Márquez focuses on refining his team's style of play.

India and Syria are set to lock horns in the final showdown of the Intercontinental Cup on Monday. The match will determine who takes home the trophy, with India aiming for their second consecutive title following a goalless draw with Mauritius.

Syria, having defeated Mauritius 2-0, hold a slight advantage as a draw will also see them crowned champions. However, they have a history of near-misses in Indian tournaments, previously losing Nehru Cup finals to India.

Indian coach Manolo Márquez emphasized the importance of their style of play over merely winning, while Syrian coach José Lana highlighted India's strengths. Fitness levels remain a concern for India, but the atmosphere is optimistic as both teams gear up for the match.
