Indian hockey team through the semi final in asia cup
Before boarding to Malaysia the question remained that can India perform well against the South Korean's, Pakistan or the host Malaysia. The Indian team has done well in the tournament so far only conceding 1 goal against the Bangladesh team but apart from that the team has improved a lot and can now think of winning the asia cup and securing a place in 2014 world cup. In the matches played by India the drag flicking has been it's strength scoring 19 goals which shows that the in the group stage the Indians has dominated the game.
The pre camp tour has been a help for this team. The main focus in the training was to build stamina, defence and how to cash in the opportunity. I think the team should concatenate on the semi finals and make plans for that is crucial. Trashing Oman 8-0, then beating the toughest team of group South Korea 2-0 and then yesterday defeated the Bangladesh 9-1.
The main aim of this is to win this tournament, on friday the Malaysian will come all guns blazing against the Indians and the men in blue must be careful of that. The ability to put pressure through penalty corner is great quality in this team. Indians needs to play their game and create gaps in the Malaysian penalty area and make the best use this trick. The team who can handle pressure better or score an early goal will decide the outcome of the match.
I think the role of Sardar Singh, Ragunath, Mandeep Singh, Rupinder Pal singh would be great. Lets see who the respective semi finals and hope that India and Pakistan meet in the final. If this happens it would be cracker of a game and the audiences will watch with lot of interest.
