New Delhi: The Indian men hockey team for Rabobank Hockey World Cup 2014 resumed their training session in The Hague on Saturday evening. The entire unit was seen enjoying and pepped up for the challenge ahead. Indian Team had their two hour rigorous training session at Klein Zwitserland Club.

Post practice session, Roelant Oltmans, Director, High Performance said, “With just six days left for the World Cup, we started our training sessions on Saturday and the focus was to get used to surface, defence in own 25 yards, decision making, goal scoring and attacking during penalty corners. The atmosphere in the group is good and everyone is fully focused. We all feel the competition is close now but we will stay relaxed and focused on the first match without the pressure getting on to us”.

Defender V R Raghunath said, “The weather is very good in The Hague and looks ideal for the World Cup. We all are excited for the World Cup to start and the team is shaping up very nicely in the last few practice sessions. We all are trying to relax and concentrate on the first game. We will go game by game in this tournament. We have worked a lot in improving our defence and penalty corner conversions in the past few training sessions and I am sure that we will deliver better results. I think our meeting with Sachin Tendulkar has added the extra excitement in all of us. We all are feeling that change since we met him. I will thank him for taking out time for us”.
