‘There Are No Easy Opponents In The World Cup’: Harmanpreet Wary Of Pakistan, Wales, England
FIH Hockey World Cup: India captain Harmanpreet Singh has urged his team to treat every match in Pool D with equal importance at the FIH Hockey World Cup, with Wales, England and Pakistan standing between the hosts and their ambitions of making a deep run in the tournament.
India have already faced some of the teams in their pool in recent international competitions, giving the side valuable experience of their opponents’ playing styles. Harmanpreet said the coaching staff and players have been studying footage and identifying areas that could prove decisive when the tournament gets underway.
“Playing styles are mostly man-to-man for probably all the teams. Pakistan mostly mixes it up with zone and man-to-man. We played against them in the Pro League and identified elements where we can improve. We played Wales in the Commonwealth Games. We are analysing video footage and discussing key points with everyone,” Harmanpreet told JioStar.
