Indian women's hockey team head coach Yankee Shopman on Monday said that the team should end matches within the stipulated time rather than go for a shoot-out, but that they should not miss the goals scored by their players in the ongoing FIH Pro League matches. Was very happy Both India's recent matches against Germany in the Pro League ended in shoot-outs with the home team losing the first match while making a comeback to win the second match here on Sunday. India had lost 1-2 in the shoot-out in the first match while in the second they took a 3-0 win.
After India's victory in the second match, Shopman said that we did not start well in Saturday's match but our start in the next match is very special. I think we created a lot of opportunities. Just one thing to say that we should win in stipulated time and not in shoot-out. In the 9-team league table, the Indian team is second with 12 points from six matches and Shopman wants his player to improve in each subsequent match in the FIH Pro League.
"Our focus is on improving and doing better in every match which I think we are doing," he said. I am quite happy with the performance but there is a lot to learn. The next opponent of the Indian women's team is England, against whom the matches are going to be played on April 2 and 3 at the Kalinga Stadium here.
