I have personally watched the match on ground, in HOng Kong and sorry to say poor girls played nice. But the Indian team management was on picnic tour. The one madam ( About 60 ) was in sari and came on ground and sited on bench and literally enjoying her tour and passing the time. Never clap a single time during the match and never got up from bench in half time. Before match ? an hour warm up session players were doing themselves and coach and 2 assistant coaches were talking to each other and roaming on the like they were in garden. In half time when India was behind 3 nil the girl came and sited on side railing and drinking plain water the coach never bother to come and give tips. On other hand Chinese coach all the time giving tips to players and in half time explaining the new strategy on board even though they were leading by 3. The India coach Mr. G S Bhangu was not able to walk properly. The players were not having popper kit. This is clear showing that the Hockey federation has sent team without any proper preparation and commitment. All players were nice but need proper coaching and fund. The Chinese team was having staff of 11 people and with good equipment.
Any one please forward this to Hockey federation , who are just enjoying lif in AC sitting in delhi.
