Congrats ... but
by Nigel Menezes on May 07, 2007 09:26 AM

Congrats team India by beating china and exacting revenge. But dont we all think the the 5-4 scoreline was a bit too close. being a social hockey player, i have some comments.

what can improve
1. There were a fair amount of individual play in our style and times when a pass was needed, but our players tried to dribble around 3 or more chinese players.

2. The long pass is an effective pass if you know eho you are passing too. at times our playesr just hit the ball which went to a chinese players. we can improve on that.

3. Watching malaysia play against pakistan, we can learn from how ther moved the ball around the field betwen the LB, Stopper, RB to draw the opposition forwards.

4. the chinese penalty corner variations were good. we can try and get some deceptiveness into how we take penalty corners.

5. and lastly our attitude, we have this unhealthy way of opposing any decision given by the referee. this is the indian style of making a hue and cry about any decision. its not healthy and its not good to see how we recact to refrees decision although he was clearly right. please stop it. its bad.

overall. thanks for the win. now go get argentina
