Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: USA Coach To Use Experience Of Chile To Tackle Crowd Pressure In India
Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: Having played against hosts Chile during the Pan-Am Games in Chile, the United States women's team has gained some experience in tackling partisan crows and are planning to use that experience when they take on hosts India at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro Turf Hockey Stadium here on Saturday.
The stadium is expected to be jam-packed for all the matches the Indian team will play and their opponents are wary of the pressure that would create on their players. But USA coach David Passmore said the experience they gained in Chile could come in handy in India.
"Well, we'll have one fan in the crowd actually! But yeah, we got to play Chile in Chile during the Pan-Am Game. So kind of using that experience in our favour to kind of lean on that. And I think our team is well prepared in a lot of different ways from our preparation to handle a match like that and to handle, you know, the crowd excitement," said Passmore in his pre-tournament press conference here.
