Incheon (South Korea), September 17, 2014: Keeping in mind the magnitude of
the upcoming 17th Asian Games at Incheon, South Korea, which will secure
both Indian men’s and women’s hockey team a spot in the Rio Olympics 2016,
both the teams are giving the final touch-up to their preparations during their
training sessions here.
Speaking on Sreejesh’s comments on him being one of the key
players for Asian Games, SV Sunil said, “It is purely a team effort at
that moment and I will aim to create sufficient tension in the opposite
camp so as to sneak the ball in the goal. I will strive to create a strategic
game play to make the winning strike. Speedy passing and possession of the
ball within the forward line-up is going to help us create more opportunities
and currently our practice sessions are focusing on the same.”
S V Sunil further added, “Our Goalkeeper P R Sreejesh
is like the pillar of our fort. Sreejesh has always given me tips on how to go
through the opponents defence and which I have applied in my games. I have
always taken his guidance seriously and it has helped me better myself as a
player. ”
On the other hand the women camp is also gearing up for
their first clash against Thailand ,
Mid-fielder Navjot Kaur said “The team is high on morale and we
are confident to top our Pool in the group phase. Our training session
today was more on speed, coordination and passes. We are confident of starting
the tournament on a winning note. The weather is good and we have
acclimatized to the conditions here.”
She further added, “Playing with experienced players at
the midfield position including our Captain Ritu Rani, Vandana Katariya and
Sushila Chanu, I have gained a lot of experience which is helping me grow
as a player each day. With a synchronized combination of young and experienced
players, I am confident that the team will generate desirable results.”
