Improving defence and attacking units can make big difference in Asian Games: hockey coach Marijne

BENGALURU: (Sep 5) India women’s hockey team coach Sjoerd Marijne believes that an improved defence and the continuing work on sharpening goal-scoring skills can do wonders for his side in the upcoming Asian Games.

The women’s side had bagged a bronze in the 2022 Asian Games, and it’s eager to clinch a medal of a brighter hue in this edition in Japan.

“I think one of the most important things we have shown is to be a unit and we defended really well. I think that is one of the basics of the game,” Marijne told PTI in an interview facilitated by SAI.
