After this, the Indian team will play against Germany on 21 and 22 February and the Netherlands on 24 and 25 February.
Salima said on the eve of the first match, “We will focus on our game. There are some players who will play in their first Pro League matches after the Olympics. “He said,” Jeet and defeat are part of the game but the most important is to perform the best. This is a big chance for us but we are not thinking about the result. We will try to perform our best and our focus is on each match. ,
Salima said that Harendra Singh, the head coach, who joined the team in April last year, left a wide impact on the team. He said, “There has been a strength in mutual relations between team culture and players. If the culture of the team is good, then its effect is also seen on the field. We have good relations with our own coach. ”
Salima said, “Being an Indian, it becomes easy to work with Harendra sir. Every player understands what he wants to say. Dialogue is not a problem. If we do not agree with anything, then we say to Harendra sir and he listens to us with full patience. We can convey our point to them and they can explain to us well.
