I am not an expert , only watch matches when India play in major tournaments. Now watching India vs Pak , this is the only match that I have watched in this Asia cup. But I can say that this was not the game that we have played in last few tournaments. There is no speed , no control seriously some thing missing here . That free flowing game that we have been playing is missing . I don't know if this is the main playing eleven. But whatever game that we are playing is below par I reckon.
I will only say that we should play in more such tournaments which provide knockout experience.
Currently our Hockey Association is not planning well. Too much focus on olympics and qualifying by winning asian games
Asian games Gold is not the only way to qualify for olympics. We did not win Gold in 2018 Asian Games but we still qualified for Tokyo olympics If we do not play enough, there will be lot of pressure in next Asian games and olympic games.
Why are we skipping commonwealth games hockey ? To protest against quarantine? Our women's hockey team just missed Asia champion trophy due to corona. Commonwealth games we are boycotting in hockey. And now we want womens team to beat China/ Japan/ Korea in knockout of Asian games and qualify for olympics?
Our players are good but association is not providing them opportunity support like competitive domestic league, more participation in international tournaments
