Looking ahead, says Raghunath

Ace defender and drag-flicker V.R. Raghunath said the Indian hockey team had worked on the mistakes it committed in its Pool B match against Argentina, and looked forward to perform better in its last league match against the Netherlands.

“We had a good meeting where we made sure not to repeat our mistakes. Good that the mistakes happened during the league phase and not in the knockout stage,” said Raghunath on Monday. “We have forgotten the negative things and our target is to do well against the Netherlands and then in the quarterfinals.”

Raghunath denied that the team was under pressure because of the packed houses during the first two matches.

Young forward Akashdeep Singh said the forwards worked on finishing off moves.
