Our Focus Is On Hockey World Cup And We've A Year To Prepare: Harmanpreet Singh
India entered the tournament as the highest-ranked team and the sole motive of securing the World Cup berth by winning the title. India not only accomplished their main goal but also remained unbeaten in the home tournament in Rajgir. The only resistance faced by the Indian team was against defending champions South Korea when they held the host to 2-2 draw in Super 4s but the former remained focused on their goal and outclassed them in the final to lift their fourth Asian title.
Putting things in perspective, Harmanpreet said, "All players were very focused, we knew we wanted to win this and told ourselves this is the only way for us to qualify for the World Cup. Coming to the tournament as Asia's No.1 side, we wanted to live up to our own expectations. Although we didn't start the way we wanted to, the last three matches in particular, we brought our A game and that is the standard of our performance. It reinstated what we can do as a team. I am very happy with how we performed."
