'Winning Bronze Was Better Than Coming Home Empty Handed', Says Jr. Men's Hockey Skipper Amir Ali
FIH Junior World Cup: After their bronze medal-winning campaign at the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia, the Indian Junior Men's Team have had some time to reflect on their performance at the marquee event where they beat New Zealand in a thrilling play-off match to win the bronze.
Echoing the team's sentiments, Skipper Amir Ali said, "We were very disappointed after missing out on the final due to goal difference. But as a team, we decided there was no point looking back at what we could have done better. We decided to focus on the bronze medal match and told ourselves that we can't go back home empty handed."
The Indian team remained on top of the points table throughout the tournament with strong performances against Japan (4-2), Great Britain (6-4), Malaysia (4-2), and New Zealand (3-3). However, it was the 0-4 loss against Australia, which went on to win the tournament, that cost India dearly. It was by a mere one-goal difference that GB made the final ahead of India.
