India skipper Sunil Chhetri has appreciated Nepal but has also warned saying that their job is not done yet.
Nepal is locking horns against a higher ranked team, India tomorrow in the final match of SAFF in Male city, Maldives.
Chhetri said Nepal may not have extraordinary players (like Ali Ashfaq) but they fight as a team.
"They may not have an extraordinary player in their ranks like an Ali Ashfaq in their ranks. But as far as attacking and defending are concerned, they do it as a team. They have been the best team that plays as a team in this Championship – they fight as a team.
"We have played them thrice since September and they are extremely compact as a team and it’s not going to be easy. But we have become better and better as games have gone by, and in the final we have to be at our best.
"We pulled our socks up after the first two games and now it is time to finish the job. But the job is not yet done", he told AIFF mouthpiece.
