But the aim is to go all the way to the final. Going forward, we will look to create as much pressure as we can in the opponents' D, play short passes and create two-on-ones on the wings and hopefully walk away with a win," said coach Mangal Vaid.Hockey Association of Odisha defeated Manipur Hockey, Hockey Jammu & Kashmir, and Hockey Gujarat in Pool D. They then defeated Hockey Karnataka by a score of 4-2 in the Quarterfinal to advance to the semifinal stage of the tournament."The national championship has been difficult so far because I'm working with a new group, but I enjoy working with them because these boys listen and try to do what we ask of them, so it's been a good journey so far. Hockey Madhya Pradesh is a good team; how we perform against them is determined by how well we capitalise on our strengths, the Penalty Corner conversion, and how well we neutralise their threat from field goals," said coach Kariappa Bollepanda.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
