#parisolympics2024 #indianhockeyteam #hockey Indian Hockey Players on August 06 hoped to win the semi-final match against Germany which will be going to held today. “This is the second Olympics in which we have reached semi-finals. This match could be similar to the match we played in Tokyo against Germany for the bronze medal...the passion with which they (Indian team) won against Britain, they need similar passion to win this match...,” said Dhananjay Mahadik. “Last time, we played for the bronze medal in Tokyo 2020 against Germany and won the match. Now, today is a semi-final match. This match will be great. We will definitely be winning and reaching the final. We will reach the semi-final and take the medal. Their thinking will also be the same as ours. They will be looking to take advantage of Amit not playing…But, I hope that Manpreet Singh will defend well and play Amit's role well,” said Lazarus Barla. “We gave different performances in all previous matches. We know that Germany plays very defensively. They forced the other teams to make a mistake. Our plus point is penalty corner conversions and goalkeeping. From these four teams, one will win a gold medal and one is going to come in fourth. But, the winning combination is with us,” said Pargat Singh. “Today we have our semi-final with Germany and this is going to be a crucial match. Germany is a strong side and our team is also playing in a good flow. We need to win this match and enter the finals...if we play with the same confidence then we can definitely beat Germany...,” said Simranjeet Singh. “We have a lot of faith because the way they played the last 2 matches against Australia and UK, the way they played the defence, if they play the same way, then the performance will be very good...our goalkeeper is very good and the whole team is very good...,” said Harjeet Singh. #parisolympics2024 #indiahockey #indianhockeyteam
