And here are India men’s hockey team coach Craig Fulton’s words ahead of the clash against Netherlands:
Fulton: “We’ve already played some top teams in the Pro League—Spain, Germany, England, and Ireland—and are sitting in third place. Now in Europe, we will face Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Argentina. We have good plans in place for each team and are taking it one game at a time. Our aim is to get maximum points from every single game.”
Here’s what India men’s hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh said on the eve of the encounter:
Harmanpreet: “Craig (Fulton) has always told us before every match that scoring three or more goals works in our favour, and we should always aim for that. For this, we need at least two penalty corners (PCs) per quarter, which we must look to convert. We will be trying to create those PC opportunities and also look to score as many field goals as possible. In this phase of the Pro League, our focus is on field goals, and wherever that’s not possible, we will try to convert PCs to gain that three-plus goal advantage.”
