Talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri on Saturday said despite a little bit of superiority India enjoy over the South Asian countries, all the opponents in the ongoing SAFF Championships will be tough and his side will play each match like a war to fight.

India, who have won the regional football tournament seven times out of the 12 editions, open their campaign against Bangladesh on Monday.

"All the matches will be tough. Despite a little bit of superiority we may have, every game will be like a war to fight. We have to fight to the last minute. We cannot play 90 per cent," Chhetri said.
