Graham Roberts: Jordan Coach Says Easy Game But I'd Say It Will Be A Good Match Tomorrow

Nepal National Team Coach, Graham Roberts remained confident almost 24 hours before the clash against Jordan and laughed off at Jordan's head Coach's earlier statement, who said it was going to be an easy match for Jordan.



Roberts, in the press conference which was attended by just five journalists, three from Nepal, said, "You will see it after tomorrow's match. Jordan coach said : It is going to be easy match for them . But, I am saying it is going to be a good match ".

"Jordan is a good side", Roberts reacted on Jordan's journalist question, appearing angrily for no one coming to pick him and skipper Sagar Thapa up for the press conference venue, which is 10 minutes by car from the official hotel.

"This is mind game. I can understand. I have been in football for 35 years and this is mind game from Jordan FA for making us wait for an hour in the hotel lobby", Roberts said.

Later, Motasim Faris Al Hunaity apologized to Coach Roberts.

"Our intention wasn't to play foul. We are extremly sorry for inconvenience caused to you and the skipper. Please call me anytime if you need any help", Motasim consoled Roberts giving his contact details.

At the same press conference, when one Jordan scribe asked about the National team managing experience of Roberts, Roberts smartly answered, "It's been a year but I have been in English football for 35 years. Good English football".

Jordan scribe was then speechless!
