The general impression that the Indian hockey team concedes late goals has changed with its second successive Olympic bronze medal and the Harmanpreet Singh-led side is one of the best in the world in all aspects, feels the legendary hockey player Zafar Iqbal. Events like the Nehru Gold Cup, Asian Games and other international matches drew a lot of supporters and palpable excitement always followed the huge stadiums we played in.” Talking about the India vs Germany matches to be played at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium in New Delhi on October 23 and 24, he said, “Germany is a tough team, we beat them in the Tokyo Olympics to win bronze medal and lost to them recently in semifinals in Paris, so I’m sure the Indians will be rooting for us to get one over them.” “The facilities are top notch and I am sure the game will be filled with riveting action. They will be witnessing a high-level international match after a decade after all,” added Singh, a gold winner at 1964 Tokyo Olympics gold, and bronze medallist at 1968 Mexico and 1972 Munich Games. The last time India played at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium was during the Hockey World League Final Men’s Round 4 in January 2014.
