If coach is replaced, players face difficulty; admits Sardar

New Delhi, July 30:
Indian hockey captain Sardar Singh today conceded that constant changing of coaches is never easy to deal with but insisted that his team’s prospects in the upcoming foreign assignments and next year’s Olympics won’t be affected by the recent developments.
Indian hockey has been going through turbulent times with Paul van Ass becoming the fourth foreign coach in recent times to be unceremoniously sacked following differences with the national federation.
Sardar admitted that the rhythm of the team is affected by such changes.
“When a coach is replaced, the players face difficulty. The team’s strategy also changes with the change in coach and it takes time in building the side. But we are positive about the Olympics and the upcoming tours,” said Sardar. (PTI)
