Indian team ready for Pakistan

Indian men's hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh is happy with his team's strike rate in converting penalty corners but wants to avoid conceding them easily in the crucial Asian Champions Trophy match against arch-rivals Pakistan on Wednesday. . It will definitely be a very tough match," Harmanpreet told PTI after the 3-2 win against South Korea. We have to play smart hockey and focus on our actual strategy and responsibilities. We have to stick to our original structure and take full advantage of the opportunities.

The whole stadium will be full

He said that the stadium will be full for this match. The stadium was almost full even in the match played on Sunday which is a good sign for Indian hockey. Harmanpreet is happy that the team has found a way to convert penalty corners and score field goals but the defense needs more strength, especially to avoid conceding penalty corners at crucial moments.

Converted penalty corner into goal

As far as converting penalty corners is concerned, India won four penalty corners against South Korea, out of which two were converted. On the lack of consistency in converting penalty corners, Harmanpreet said that the defense of the opposing teams is strong which is good for the game. He said that this is happening not only with us but with every team. The main reason for this is that their defense has become better. If you look at our line of defence, Amit Rohidas and Jarmanpreet Singh are playing very well. Same with opposing teams which is good for the game.
