CWG 2022: Penalty corner execution requires improvement, says Schopman

The Hindu  

Women’s hockey team coach Janneke Schopman on Tuesday said India’s penalty corner execution requires massive improvements if they are to not repeat their World Cup debacle in the Commonwealth Games. It has to do with perfecting your execution which we will look to focus on in the next couple of weeks.” India struggled badly in converting their penalty corners in the World Cup. We did focus on these areas already, it’s about fine-tuning it individually.” “We’re on the right track” However, the 45-year-old also remarked that their team is no more looked down upon in world hockey with the opponents often preferring to taking defensive approach against them. “I was very pleased with the team at the World Cup and they performed to the best of their ability.” Promising Indian forward Sharmila Devi, who has been on a steady rise since her debut at the age of 17, also had a lacklustre campaign in the World Cup but the coach backed the youngster.
