Former Nepal skipper and defender, Rakesh Shrestha thinks that the group in which Nepal is pitted is wide open to progress into the semifinals.
Speaking exclusively with GoalNepal.com, Shrestha said, "I think this group is wide open. All the four teams have equal chance to progress to the semifinals. The Russian block is always superior but since Nepal is playing at home, we have a very good chance to progress to the semifinals".
"It is always morale boosting to play in front of home supporters", Shrestha said, "The support gives the power. The players want to show their best, which results in the good performance".
"We should concentrate more on the matches against Palestine and Maldives", Shrestha added, "Turkmenistan is strong but they can be beaten. So I think this group is wide open".
