National Hockey team players are focusing on the upcoming matches and are hoping for a Gold. Indian men’s hockey team have raised hopes after their silver medal effort at the recent Champions Trophy, and the Sreejesh P.R.-led squad will look to take that confidence into the Asian Games next month. Come August 22, the defending champions will look to continue in the same vein. Coach Harendra Singh has made it clear that they are not going to take any team lightly.
Hockey team coach Harendra Singh during an interaction with the media says that “I expect the team to be hungry to win the Gold again and get direct qualification for the 2020 Olympic Games and I want to make it clear that there will be no room for complacency.”
Speaking highly of the Korean team who rely heavily on defense, Harendra said they watched the, closely in the five-match practice match series held at the Sports Authority of India, Bangalore, last week.
“It is important to be highly cautious against each of the teams as we have not played against teams like Hong Kong China and Sri Lanka. Korea is a strong team.”
Coach Sjoerd Marijne said that the focus should be on the current tournament. The women’s team too will be eyeing a gold in order to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games.
