Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: It's Team's Failure Not Coach's, Says HI Prez Dilip Tirkey After India Miss Olympics Ticket
Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: Despite doubts over the future of women's hockey team head coach Janneke Schopman following India's failure to qualify for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris later this year, Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey expressed confidence in her performance.
"I am quite happy with the performance of the coach. The team has played very well for some time. If the team fails to capitalise on a 2-0 advantage in the shoot-out, doesn't convert PCs and fails to take advantage of the lead, then we can't blame the coach. This is the team's performance. If they had failed to earn any PCs, that would have been another matter. Germany is one of the best teams in the world, so holding them to a draw is a creditable result," said the Hockey India president after India's 1-0 defeat to Japan here on Friday.
Tirkey said the team had performed well in the last year or so under Schopman's guidance and Friday's 1-0 defeat to Japan in the Hockey Olympic Qualifiers here was just an aberration.
