Paris Olympics 2024: Harmanpreet Singh has been on a tear in the Olympics so far. He has been the strong link and the best performer of the Indian hockey team so far. His performance has allowed India to sit on top of the Pool B table with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 matches.
Meanwhile, Harmanpreet himself has scored 4 goals in 3 matches and two of those goals came in the final moments of the game. His goal was also the reason why India was able to draw against Argentina after 12 years in the Olympics.
But the skipper also knows about the glaring weakness in the gameplay of Blues. It has been visible that India has not been able to score an open-play goal and their defense has also been open so far. The skipper talked about those glaring issues and opened up about the plans.
‘Improve Our Defense’
India is going to face the World Champions Belgium and the mighty Australia in the next two matches. These two matches are going to be the toughest for the team and even Harmanpreet knows that.
He addressed the fact that the team has a weak defense and stated that the team will work on it. He also knows that teams like Australia and Belgium will punish the Blues if their defense is open.
Paris Olympics 2024: No Open Goal
Harmanpreet Singh was also asked about the fact that India has not scored any open-play goals in the three matches. The skipper stated that they were attacking and would work on their efficiency but was not so worried about that fact.
He stated that the team is making attacks from both sides and it does not matter where the goals come from. They have their plan and will attack with everything they have. The hero of the Indian team also stated that the team was tired in the second half because of a lack of rest. That is why the team is going to rest on one off day and will retrieve their energy.
