How Harmanpreet Singh and Co were punished by Argentina in a 0-8 Pro League thrashing

How Harmanpreet Singh and Co were punished by Argentina in a 0-8 Pro League thrashing

The key takeaway from Craig Fulton’s first interaction with the media after becoming India’s head coach was that his philosophy is ‘defend to win’. He has insisted that he has always tried to instil defensive structure into his players, and it has reaped rewards. He reiterated the same when assessing the 1-3 defeat against Belgium a day earlier: “We normally pride ourselves on defence, but it wasn’t how we like it.” Precisely for this reason, what unfolded in front of his eyes at the Birsa Munda Stadium would have frustrated him. India’s defence went missing in a barely believable first half where they conceded seven goals before eventually losing 0-8 against Argentina. The Pro League isn’t always treated as the most important event in the calendar by the world’s best teams, but a nightmare performance at the start of a massive year for Indian hockey is a serious cause for concern. While Argentina were indeed clinical with their finishing – with Tomas Domene smashing four goals in a stellar display – almost every single goal …
