India lost second consecutive match in Azlan Shah Cup Hockey Tournament to South Korea 2-1. Earlier they lost 3-4 to Australia. India displayed horrible skills today. I guess India is going to lose to all the teams this time. The players were not even able to trap or pass the ball. Rupinder Pal Singh missed 6 Penalty Corners. I think that it is just not happening with Michael Nobbs. Australian style just not gonna work in India if skills are not good.
You are posting inaccurately..Indian team did not have good finishing today but have played really well so far despite coming with 6-7 juniors to get prepared for Junior world cup..we lost to Australia 3-4 and Australia beat Pakistan 6-0!!
@munna21977 i want you to watch south korean match again.... koreans were playing too much of pressing game in this case our team was not having sardara singh or sv sunil to break them easily..
but got malak singh or mandeep singh who are at age of around 20... so they need some more time to reach that level
and also as @ronny said still i feel our players performed much better than what we could imagine... and also for such tournaments where the development counts i wont even care if we lose 3-0,4-0 but still our players are performing in a way which could gain respect from senior players of opponents too

Every team except Malaysia has come with 6-7 Juniors including Australia, Korea. I watched the games and I wrote what I felt-poor skills and speed by Indians.

skills were ok for their age but yea the pace wasnt there which could suit our counter attacking ..

Both India and Pakistan play similar open style of hockey. Winning and losing is more about pressure but India can defeat Pakistan but still lag far behind in the quality of hockey. Hockey is different nowadays. Just think, when was the last time India defeated Holland, Germany, Australia? Even Spain, Korea, New Zealand, Argentina are difficult for Indian team. We know how badly we were hammered in Olympics. We should be playing more with European teams, victory against Pakistan hides our lack of skills and pace.

India defeated Pakistan 3-1 at Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey tournament.
And you still feel we could do this with lack of skills and pace?
