Nepal coach Johan Kalin said they fully respect strong Kuwaiti side but don't fear against them.

Speaking in pre-match conference held in Kuwait City, coach Kalin said, "We respect all teams. They are stronger than us but we don't fear against them. We will give our best. Honestly, we are not playing for results. We are playing for good performance.

"We know we are underdogs in the group. The most important thing is that this qualifiers is very good experience for us", he added.

Kalin also added that harsh weather shouldn't be an excuse for the team.

"We have to go all out and play our best. It shouldn't be an excuse for us", he further added.

Nepal had played two match friendly series against Kuwait in March. They had played 0-0 in the first match and lost 1-0 in the second.

"Boys had played well in two matches that we played against Kuwait. Mainly, defenders did their best. Hopefully we have improved our game", he added.

He also highlighted the resources that Kuwait have and how their players have benefitted from the choices.

"We prepared on what we have. We don't have as many good resources as Kuwait have. My players have worked hard under limited resources. We know Kuwait is strong team so we will fight hard against them", he concluded.
