India women set to take on depleted Netherlands in FIH Pro League tie

Netherlands have arrived with their second-string side but the Indian women's hockey team still faces a stern test when it clashes with the world number one rival in the double-leg FIH Pro League tie, starting here on Friday. None of the players, that competed for the Netherlands during their successful Olympic campaign, features in the visiting side but the Indians can't breath easy, going by the standard of the sport in the Dutch land. The last time, the two teams clashed during the Tokyo Olympics, the Netherlands had hammered India 5-1. However, the Indian women so far have done well in their debut season. They are placed fourth in the standings with 12 points from six games. Netherlands, on the other hand, are sitting atop the table with 17 points from six matches. India captain Savita is aware of Netherlands' strengths but since they are playing at home and have a Dutch coach to guide in Janneke Schopman, it might help them in some way. "Netherlands is of course the world no. 1 team but if we recollect our last match against them -- first match in Olympics, we held them 1-1 till first half. In the second half we committed mistakes. "Now the team is quite excited that again we are getting a chance to play Netherlands and that too at home, so we will give our best," Savita said at the virtual pre-match press conference.

Graham Reid - We have a habit of not finishing games when we are in control, says India's hockey coach Graham Reid - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Germany - India

We have a habit of not finishing games when we are in control, says India's hockey coach Graham Reid

hockey team might have won its FIH Pro League double-header against England but head coach Graham Reid is not completely pleased with its performance, especially the tendency of allowing opponents to come back into the game. India pulled off wins in both the games against England, winning the first one in the shootout after being locked 3-3 in the regulation time before registering a 4-3 victory in the second on Sunday. With the twin wins, India climbed to the top of the Pro League table, with 21 points in 10 games so far. "We seem to have a habit of not finishing those games when we have control of them. We let the other team get back into it. But I suppose that's hockey nowadays. In the third quarter (of the second match against England on Sunday), we lost control a bit and we need to look into that," Reid said. "The corners went in tonight and we had opportunities to try some variations. It was a really good fight with them, and our boys showed a good heart and good spirits. Games like these help in building characters, and it's always good to come out on top," the coach added. India next play against Germany at the same Kalinga Stadium in another two-legged tie on April 14 and 15. "It's good to win and reach top of the table, but now we have to prepare for Germany, who are also a very tough team. They will always bring a competitive team. They are a great hockey nation. So we can look forward to some good games coming up in two weeks," Reid said.

Pakistan hockey coach, Dutchman Siegfried Aikman, joins players in Ramzan fasting - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Japan - Pakistan

Pakistan hockey coach, Dutchman Siegfried Aikman, joins players in Ramzan fasting

Siegfried Aikman is doing is perhaps something very new. Aikman, acclimatising to his surroundings in his role as the coach of the Pakistan men's hockey team, decided to join the players in something that is very significant to them. It's the month of Ramzan, leading up to Eid al-Fitr in less than 30 days. Amid the month-long day-time fasting, meals can only be had before and after sunset. Members of the Islamic community, including top-flight sportspersons, follow the Ramzan rituals, which could be a very difficult thing to do alongside training for high-performance sports. Schedules can go for a toss, diet plans demand a break and training programs are required to be re-drawn. It is Aikman's first such experience. As the Pakistan players were allowed a break from the national camp to be with their families for the first day of Ramzan, Aikman made a decision: he started fasting as well.
