Team India’s Next Stop; Rio Olympic
Team India may not have one the champions trophy by losing to the great Australian tem in a tough encounter hours ago, but the way they performed in the whole tournament is something that every Indian hockey fan should be proud off, so is this the new emergence of our hockey team and how far the team will go .Here is a look to that.
The last real class event that Indian team won was the Olympic Gold in Moscow, way back in 1980, and from then the team ,so how the team looks now and what it was before. Is the Indian team really ready to hit at medal at the Rio Olympic this year.
Fitness
Talking about the fitness team India looks great, and more then fitness the one thing that matters is the confidence and self belief which can be seen in Indian team at this point. physically the boys are fit and two names that goes to my mind when we talk about fitness is Raghunath and Rupinder Pal Singh, the twin tower of India who are two of the fittest and fastest man in the team, so on a whole fitness is not a problem for the team and they can take any European team at any time.
Goalkeeping
What is important in a game like hockey, scoring goals or saving goals, I think both, if teams have a strong goalkeeper it adds to its team and team India has always lacked in this area. But at the present time the man PR Sreejesh,is doing a great job, acting like a wall and saving the team.
The Hockey India League
This thing is something that has help team India a lot, from playing with the foreign players and finding new talents is something that hockey India league has helped us in.
So on a hole the team looks good and is ready to take any top team of the world ,all we need to do is to work on our passing and trapping techniques and be consistence
