Paris Olympics: Our Finishing Needs To Be Better, Says Harmanpreet After Draw Against Argentina
Harmanpreet Singh: Harmanpreet Singh, captain of the Indian men's hockey team, on Monday admitted that his players need to hone their finishing skills after a 1-1 draw against Argentina in a Pool B match at the 33rd Olympic Games here on Monday. Harmanpreet scored the all-important equaliser on the penalty corner in the dying minutes as India and Argentina shared one point each. India conceded in the 22nd minute of the match and failed to find the back of the net till the 58th minute.
"The team is playing really well. We're strong defensively, with or without the ball. With the ball, we're creating a lot of chances and getting into the opponent's circle. We can improve the outcome and the finishing in the upcoming games. We have a plan, we're creating chances, but our finishing needs to be better," Harmanpreet said in an exclusive interview with JioCinema.
The ace drag-flicker also acknowledged the team's poor penalty corner conversion against New Zealand and Argentina and said they have to come up with better planning after the team only scored one out of ten penalty corners against the 2016 Rio Olympics gold medallist on Monday.
