Hockey world cup berth on the line in the asia cup 2013
The dreams should be realized a chance for the Indian hockey team to qualify in hockey world cup to be held in 2014, they have to fight against 8 asian teams to make into the prestigious tournament. This tournament is chance for the youngsters to show their talent. Going to the back to olden days when the Indians hockey was at his peak wining medals for the country but nowadays the situation has changed.Now India has to fight and compete with , come and put up a spirited performance to gain the confidence of the people who are just watching and following cricket
The problem with indian team in hcokey has been their finishing to score goals and their fitness. The ability to handle pressure situation in recent times has resulted in the exit of Micheal Nobbs. New players have been included in the asia cup squad and i think the fresh faces will energize the team and can win the trophy. The times when the indian hockey was at it's highest point with Dhanraj Pillay and Dhyanchand making the opponents dance around with their skills and make the people astonish with stick work but for the past 5 to 10 years it has taken a beaten.
I think the main problem in the recent years has been their defence which looks weak as they concede soft goals at the dieing moment against the fitter teams. The Asia cup provides a chance for this team to play well and book a place in the World cup 2014 to be held in Hague and if they qualify for the world cup stronger teams will test them.
The Indians have a good talent but they have to make use of this talent giving the youngsters more chance. Hockey which is national game has to gain the support of audience and the govt must take care that hockey popularity does not go down further. From the Asian teams Pakistan, Malaysia, Korea will test India in this asia cup. Lets hope that the like Sandeep Singh, Ragunath, Sardar Singh performs well in the tournament.
I think the Indian team has a talent to peform well against the international teams but the focus sometimes misses and costs the matches. India's dragfilicking in the penalty corner has quality and the power they put is great. The misses from post has to taken care. The pre tournament camp which is held before a major tournament the indian hockey federation must provide a best possible opportunity to build their stamina and concentrates on their negatives
