When asked about the importance of the tournament after having landed in Bhubaneswar, Spain\u2019s captain Marc Miralles said, \u201cIt is a crucial tournament for us.

When asked about the toughest side, Miralles said, \u201cWe played a really tough game against Ireland in the Olympic qualifiers. The Netherlands are the defending champions, and India is playing at home, so I think we\u2019re going to have some fun games.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He signed off by saying, \"We are in good shape having played the Olympic qualifiers recently. We\u2019ve trained well in the gym and are ready for the challenge.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fih-mens-pro-league-spain-mens-hockey-team-arrives-in-bhubaneswar.jpg", "alt_img": "FIH Men's Pro League: Spain men's hockey team arrives in Bhubaneswar", "alt_title": "FIH Men's Pro League: Spain men's hockey team arrives in Bhubaneswar ", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "FIH Men's Pro League: Spain Men's Hockey Team Arrives In Bhubaneswar On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "FIH Men's Pro League: Spain Men's Hockey Team Arrives In Bhubaneswar, The FIH Hockey Pro League: The World No.8 Spain men's hockey team reached India on Monday ahead of their FIH.", "seo_keywords": "FIH Hockey Pro League, Hockey India, The World No, The Spani, Marc Miralles, Biju Patnaik International Airport, Kalinga Stadium, The FIH Hockey Pro League, Kalinga Hockey Stadium, Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, The Netherlands, World No", "tag": "", "tagging": "FIH Hockey Pro League, Hockey India, The World No, The Spani, Marc Miralles, Biju Patnaik International Airport, Kalinga Stadium, Kalinga Hockey Stadium, Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, The Netherlands, World No", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "fih-mens-pro-league-spain-mens-hockey-team-arrives-in-bhubaneswar", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "529", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-02-05 22:30:04", "updated": "2024-02-05 22:30:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "FIH Hockey Pro League, Hockey India, The World No, The Spani, Marc Miralles, Biju Patnaik International Airport, Kalinga Stadium, The FIH Hockey Pro League, Kalinga Hockey Stadium, Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, The Netherlands, World No", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-05 22:30:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "hockey", "cnmid": "862289", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/fih-mens-pro-league-spain-mens-hockey-team-arrives-in-bhubaneswar-12949" }
