Indian Women’s Hockey Team Loses 0-3 To Argentina In FIH Pro League

admin — Sun, 26 May 2024 14:31:31 +0000

The Indian women’s hockey team continued its winless streak in the Belgium leg of the FIH Pro League, slumping to 0-3 defeat against Argentina on Sunday. Celina Di Santo (1st minute), Maria Campoy (39th) and Maria Granatto (47th) scored for Argentina in India’s final match of the Belgium leg. Argentina stormed ahead in the very first minute, dissecting the Indian high press and penetrating to the shooting circle, where Di Santo deflected in Granatto’s shot to score their first goal. As India struggled to play out of their half, a period of Argentinian dominance followed, resulting in a penalty corner eight minutes into the game, but they failed to extend their lead.

India began stringing a few passes together and got into the game. They forced Argentine goalkeeper Clara Barberi into action after a low drive into the circle from Udita found Lalremsiami, who failed to score from close range.

Argentina regained control of the proceedings in the second quarter, earning a slurry of penalty corners but an alert duo of Bichu Devi Kharibam and Salima Tete helped keep the ball out of the nets.

A rare Indian foray into the shooting circle resulted in a penalty corner but Deepika’s drag flick was comfortably kept out.

Argentina pressed hard in the rest of the quarter but the Indian defence held firm to keep the scoreline 0-1 heading into the second half.

India earned a penalty corner early in the third quarter but failed to create a goal scoring opportunity.

Argentina made a breakthrough in the 39th minute, as Campoy picked up the ball on the left wing and bulldozed into the circle, dodging a few challenges and slotting it past Savita Punia to double their lead.

India had a chance to score in the last minute of the quarter but Navneet Kaur’s tomahawk was saved by Barberi.

Argentina earned a penalty corner as soon as the final quarter began and Granatto directed Agustina Gorzelany’s flick over Savita into goal to increase their lead.

Argentina stepped up the intensity after the goal and pegged India back, creating multiple chances through Granatto but a resilient Indian backline managed to thwart any further advances.

The Indian women’s hockey team will now take on Germany in its next match at London on June 1.

Indian Women Beat Japan 2-1, Assure Semifinal Berth In Asian Champions Trophy Hockey

admin — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 18:35:39 +0000

An in-form India eked out a narrow 2-1 win over Japan to register their fourth straight win and storm into the semifinals of the women’s Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament on Tuesday. After two goalless quarters, Navneet Kaur (31st minute) and Sangita Kumari (47th) scored for India, while Japan’s lone goal came from the stick of Kana Urata (37th). It was a match between two undefeated sides in the tournament and it lived up to the billing. India had earlier defeated Thailand 7-1 in their opener before getting the better of Malaysia and China 5-0 and 2-1 respectively. The Japanese too were undefeated coming into the match, having registered wins over Malaysia 3-0, South Korea 4-0 and Thailand 4-0 respectively.

It was a battle between Indian attack and Japan’s defence in the first quarter as the hosts relentlessly put pressure on the opposition citadel but failed to produce any result.

The Japanese mostly relied on counter attacks to unsettle the Indians but failed to breach their defence.

Both the teams failed to create any clear cut scoring opportunities from field effort in the first quarter.

However, it was Japan who had the brightest of chances in the form of penalty corner in the 13th minute but Ishika Chaudhary was upto the task to keep the ball away from the net as the first quarter ended goalless.

The Japanese put pressure in the opening moments of the second quarter and created a couple of attacks but all those went in vain. The story was the same as it was in the first quarter as both the teams failed to create any real scoring opportunity.

In the last 4 minutes, the Indians came close to scoring at least thrice but were unable to finish the scoring shots.

India soon secured their first penalty corner but vice-captain Deep Grace Ekka’s threatening shot to the right of Japanese goalie was well defended.

It was Japan’s turn to earn a penalty corner next but the Indian defence was upto the task.

The deadlock was finally broken a minute after the change of ends through Navneet.

A deceptive pass from Salima Tete in the circle area found Navneet, who turned around and fired a powerful backhand shot into the Japanese net.

It took Japan just six minutes to draw level from their third penalty corner. Urata brought her side back into the match, perfectly converting the set piece with a high flick to the top right corner of the Indian goal.

In the 39th minute, India secured another penalty corner, only to be denied by the Japanese goalkeeper.

It was an electrifying performance from both the sides in the fourth and final quarter, which witnessed end-to-end hockey. But it was India, who were the dominant side on display.

Two minutes into the final quarter, India secured a penalty corner and Deepika’s low dragflick was deflected in by Sangita to hand the hosts a 2-1 lead.

India secured another penalty corner in the 53rd minute but the effort was saved by Japanese goalkeeper Akio Tanaka.

From there on, the Japanese pressed hard for the equaliser but the Indians defended bravely to keep their opponents at bay and continue their winning run.

Indian Women’s Hockey Team Beats China In Women’s Asian Champions Trophy

admin — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 18:25:50 +0000

The Indian hockey team survived some anxious moments to avenge its Asian Games loss with a 2-1 win over China and continue its rampaging run at the women’s Asian Champions Trophy in Ranchi on Monday. Deepika (15th) and Salima Tete (26th) sounded the board for the hosts, while Zhong Jiaqi scored in the 41st minute for China. China had spoilt India’s bid to earn a direct qualification for the Tokyo Olympics after beating them in the semifinals of the Asian Games in Hangzhou last month.

But on Monday, India returned the favours in their third group stage match to stay atop the standing.

India started on an attacking note, trying to make inroads from left to right but the Chinese put up a defensive wall to thwart any attempt by the hosts.

India held possession and Jyoti Sonika earned their first PC but squandered it due to a lapse by stopper Monika. Soon the hosts were awarded a penalty stroke and Deepika converted it in style with just 30 seconds left in the first quarter.

China made a circle penetration early in the second quarter but India managed to stave off any threat.

India were one player down after Lalremsiami was suspended for two minutes but China failed to capitalise on the opportunity.

Local star Salima Tete then produced a stunning reverse hit in the 25th minute from near the circle to put India 2-0 ahead.

In the final moments of the second quarter, China earned a PC but Indian defenders were up to the mark to grab a comfortable lead at the halfway stage.

India earned another PC with Vandana Katariya, playing her 299th game, making the injection but the Chinese defence stood firm.

China started putting relentless pressure on India but Savita stood firm, thwarting a threatening move from the left as she kicked the ball away to neutralise the Chinese attack.

However, China eventually earned their second PC with four minutes left in the quarter and went for a variation as Zhong Jiaqi sent the ball past Savita to score their first goal.

Looking for the equaliser, China made an aggressive start to the final quarter and tried to take hold of the midfield.

China soon earned a PC after the ball rose dangerously in the air amidst the scuffle. India asked for a review but the video umpire ruled otherwise.

Soon, there was a brief interruption due to malfunction of the floodlights. On resumption, China couldn’t convert the PC as India held on to the advantage.

Vandana was then handed a yellow card for tripping a Chinese player with her stick while making a tackle, leaving India with 10 players for the remaining five minutes.

Desperate for the equaliser, China replaced the goalkeeper with a field player and earned another PC with five minutes to go but squandered it.

The Asian Games champions mounted another attacking run and almost scored with three minutes to go as India survived a scare.

Coming into the tournament as favourites, a wounded Indian women’s hockey team rose from the shock semifinal loss to edge past defending champions Japan 2-1 and claim the bronze medal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Saturday. The Indians, ranked seventh in the world, were the favourites to win the gold here but one bad match cost them dearly as hosts China thrashed them 4-0 in the semifinal on Thursday.

But the Savita Punia-led side left behind the disappointment and displayed commanding hockey to clinch its seventh Asian Games medal and fourth bronze.

Deepika gave India the lead in the fifth minute from a penalty stroke before Japan equalised through Yuri Nagai from a penalty corner in the 30th minute.

Sushila Chanu, a rare goal scorer, handed India the winning goal in the 50th minute from a set piece that went wrong.

India started brightly and went on the offensive from the onset.

The Indians pressed hard and that resulted in their first goal in the fifth minute through a penalty stroke, which was perfectly converted by Deepika.

India kept on pressing hard and secured a penalty corner but failed to convert the opportunity. The Japanese too threatened the Indians but the Savita-led side was upto to the task.

It was midfield tussle between the two in the second quarter with both sides managing a few circle entries but failed to yield any result.

Japan drew level at the stroke of half time through Nagai who converted a penalty corner.

After the change of ends, there was hardly anything to differentiate between the two sides. Both India and Japan were engaged in midfield battle with occasional entries into each other’s cicrrle.

After the change of ends, India continued to press hard and created a few chances but failed to pounce on them.

With deadlock still intact, the Indians went on full press in the fourth and final quarter and their efforts bore fruit as they managed to earn a few penalty corners.

India secured a penalty corner in the fourth quarter but vice-captain Deep Grace Ekka’s flick was saved by Japanese goalkeeper Eika Nakamura.

Vaisnavi Vitthal Phalke then missed a sitter from the the rebound from the following penalty corner.

India continued to mount constant pressure on the Japanese defence and secured three penalty corners in succession, the last of which resulted in the winner.

A rare goal scorer, Sushila was at the right place at the right time to scoop the ball in above the goalkeeper’s head after receiving a feed from Deep.

India then earned a few more penalty corners but failed to utilise them.

Just three minute from the hooter, India secured another penalty corner but but Deepika’s flick was saved by the Japanese goalkeeper.

admin — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:58:06 +0000

A dominant India defeated Malaysia 6-0 to register their second consecutive win in the women’s hockey competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Friday. The Indians continued from where they left against Singapore in their campaign opener and pumped in four goals in the first quarter of the Pool A match. Monika (7th minute) opened the scoring for India before vice-captain Deep Grace Ekka (8th), Navneet Kaur (11th), Vaishnavi Vitthal Phalke (15th), Sangita Kumari (24th) and Lalremsiami (50th) also found the back of the net.

Brimming with confidence after the 13-0 win over Singapore, the seventh ranked Indians maintained their momentum and completely dominated the play from the word go.

As expected, India took the lead in the seventh minute through Monika’s field strike before Deep Grace doubled the score a minute later, converting their first penalty corner.

In the 20th minute, Lalremsiami’s tomahawk from top of the circle, after getting a loose ball from midfield, went just wide.

But a minute later, Navneet Kaur’s brilliant stick work made it 3-0 in the favour of India. She got the ball inside the circle and converted after Deep Grace failed to score with a reverse tomahawk.

India secured another penalty corner in the 15th minute and Vaishnavi found the net from the chance to hand her side a 4-0 lead.

India extended their lead in the 24th minute through Sangita. Neha got the ball into the D and passed it to Sangita, who found the back of the net with a reverse hit.

India secured a penalty corner in the 27th minute but Deepika’s try was denied by a brilliant save by Malaysia goalkeeper AB Mashitah.

Seconds before half time, Lalremsiami secured another penalty corner for India but it went in vain as the Savita Punia-led side led 5-0 at the break.

Malaysia started on a much better note after the change of ends and looked more compact in defence, while trying for attacking runs in between.

But India got their act together and started to mount raids on the Malaysian goal. In the 38th minute, Deepika’s reverse hit goal from top of the circle was disallowed after the video umpire found out that she was marginally outside the circle when she took the hit.

India secured a few penalty corners but wasted all of them.

In the 50th minute Lalremsiami scored India’s sixth goal from a field play.

In the remaining minutes of the match, India secured two more penalty corners but failed to find the back of the net.

India will next play Korea in their next pool match on Sunday.

admin — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 06:36:18 +0000

The gold medal winning team will directly qualify for next year’s Paris Olympics.

“We have had a long and strenuous National Camp where we worked on all the areas where we need to improve. We have formulated our strategies as per our strengths and we have studied our opponents as well, thoroughly to understand their styles of play,” Savita said in a release.

“We hope to have a good tournament and get positive results.

‘Handling Pressure Will Be Key In Asian Games’: Indian Women’s Hockey Coach Janneke Schopman

admin — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 07:34:36 +0000

Indian women’s hockey coach Janneke Schopman believes handling pressure will be crucial for her team as it will enter the upcoming Asian Games as one of the “favourites”. “I believe the mindset the players have as individuals and as a team will make the difference. Can we perform under pressure and deal with the circumstances handed over to us? “We have talked about this over the past couple of months and what it means to not be the underdogs like we were in Tokyo but being the favourites,” Schopman said on the latest episode of Hockey Te Charcha, a podcast series launched by Hockey India.

“We have spoken about the expectations from this team. We have also addressed what dangers are out there that might cause distraction, and trip us up, and how we can deal with the same.” The Dutch coach said if her team plays to its potential, it can win win the gold in Hangzhou and qualify directly for next year’s Paris Olympics.

“It is important to enjoy the journey as well. I hope we win; I think we can win but it’s life and we might not,” Schopman said.

“As long as we know we were able to control what we can and we were able to play as well as we can as individuals and as a team, then we have to accept the outcome. This is what we are trying to instill in the girls that we just have to play hockey and find a way to work around the pressure.”

India are placed in Pool A of the Asian Games along with South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore, while Japan, China, Thailand, Kazakhstan and Indonesia are clubbed in Pool B.

After their opening game against Singapore on September 27, India will face Malaysia on September 29, followed by South Korea on October 1 and Hong Kong on October 3.

Schopman stressed upon the importance of maintaining communication in the set-up to fix the tiniest of issues.

“We have obviously spoken about our targets from the tournament but eventually it comes down to nerves and pressure. We have no idea what the Games village would be like, what challenges we may face that we cannot influence, how the food and weather would be like. We have to deal with everything that comes our way and our team is good with that,” she said.

“This is why it is important to talk about the smallest of things before each tournament. A player might feel something small but they can be like ‘I am not saying because it is tiny’, but I have to be like ‘just say it, because it might be small now and we can solve it now. But if we don’t address it now, it might become big and then we may have a problem’.”

Schopman, a former Olympic and World Cup gold medal-winning Dutch player, has already guided the Indian women’s team to a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

She was also at the helm of affairs when the Indian team won a gold medal in the inaugural FIH Nations Cup last year.

But Schopman has never experienced the pressure of competing as a player or a coach at the Asian Games and is eager to face the challenge.

“This is going to be my first time competing in an Asian Games as well. I try to emphasise that you can either go into every tournament believing it is the most important one or believing it’s just another tournament.

“It does not matter whether it is your first time in a tournament or the last time – what matters is that you are here now and you have to make the most of the opportunity and make it count. As a team, that is what we will try to do as well,” she said.

Schopman defended the team selection for the Asian Games.

“For selection of the 18 players, we cannot just take the ones with the most caps. I try to look at the team and try to see what each individual can bring in and how they can complement each other,” she said.

“Some of the junior players have developed tremendously in the last couple of months and hence, have become a part of the team.”

admin — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 11:15:13 +0000

The Indian men’s hockey team has climbed to the third spot in the latest world rankings issued by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) on Monday. India (2771) are back into the top-3, after more than year since dropping out in May 2022. The elevation happened due to their undefeated run in the Asian Champions Trophy 2023 in Chennai last month. The Indians have won six and drew one of their seven matches. England (2745), who fell just short of winning the EuroHockey title with a 1-2 loss to the Netherlands in the final, are out of top three.

Despite their strong run to the finals, an earlier loss in the tournament against Belgium and the loss in the final, coupled with India’s run of wins, saw England slip to fourth.

Netherlands (3113) continue to lead the way with a strong defence of their title at the EuroHockey Championships, to add to their FIH Hockey Pro League title and the bronze medal at the FIH Hockey World Cup in 2023.

Netherlands’ dominance has seen them pull off a comfortable lead over Belgium (2989) in second place.

Germany (2689) and Australia (2544) hold on to the fifth and sixth positions respectively, while Argentina (2350) climbed up one spot to seventh ahead of Spain (2347).

In the women’s rankings, Netherlands (3422) are perched at the top spot, remain well clear of the chasing pack, continuing their dominance with a record-extending 12th EuroHockey Championship title. Australia (2818) and Argentina (2767) stay put in the second and third places respectively.

However, Belgium (2609) had a great campaign at the EuroHockey Championships, winning the silver medal that propels them ahead of Germany (2574) as the two teams occupy the fourth and fifth spots in the world rankings.

Indian women (2325) have climbed one spot to the seventh position, at the expense of Spain (2173), who finished sixth in the EuroHockey Championships dropping over 150 world ranking points in losses against Belgium and Scotland.

New Zealand (2001) and Japan (1900) continue to hold their ninth and 10th spots, with China (1894) marginally behind Japan in the 11th spot.
