The Indian women’s hockey team made a poor start by losing two matches to Australia in the European phase of the FIH Pro League. The Indian team will now face the world second team Argentina and the team led by Salima Tate will have to face this tough challenge. However, the team has very little time to adjust itself.
Argentina is second in the table
Argentina has so far won seven of her 12 league matches. India, ranked seventh with nine points, is on the vision of India. The Argentina is at number two in the table and he will try to score full points to maintain pressure on the Netherlands at the top. India will play their first match with Argentina on Tuesday and the second match after one day.
Before the match, Salima said, Argentina is the second team in the world and has so far won seven of his 12 FIH Pro league matches. As soon as we came to this stage of the league, we knew that it would not be easy to defeat them. But we will not give up without fighting. We will perform our best in both matches. The team is training well to compete with them and is working on various strategies to score important points against them.
Vice-captain Navneet Kaur said, “As you have seen, the team has given a tough competition to Australia in the last two matches and we are planning to do the same against Argentina. We will perform our best and go aim to win. Victory against Argentina will not only help us score points, but it will also increase the morale of the team because we will play the entry of the team and then the Belgium and then Belgium and then Belgia.
