Eight years is a short time. The world has moved miles ahead, and India managed to take a step ahead of qualifying for the London Games!
Years of neglect and infighting that has cost the National Party wanted and expecting an immediate result would be asking too much of this bunch of players. Even coach Michael Nobbs, who made a huge contribution in putting Indian hockey on the world map again admits that he is not expecting any great results in London.
"My goal is not to London. I've looked at five years after the next Olympics," Nobbs said DNA after Indian men had finished his task No. 1. "If we continue to train and play like the way we have been doing during the last months, I can certainly say that we can surprise a lot of teams in the Olympic Games. But then that does not mean that you would expect us to win Olympic gold. We have to take a step at the same time, "Nobbs made candid confession.
Nobbs has a point. He knows that defense and midfield is a problem area that can not be fixed at night. Hockey India has announced the list of 48 probables for London, ignoring again the likes of midfielder Arjun Halappa, to openly speak against Hockey India.
Well, you could say that was on the expected lines, but after staying with Sardara Singh in the midfield could be dangerous.
Even during the Olympic qualifying, the future looked a class apart. Neutralising France, Canada or Poland attack is one thing, and it will be a different proposition containing the strikers from Australia and Germany.
However, there was a big pluses too much for the hosts. Drag flicker Sandeep Singh looked completely different player, and can now boast to be a pillar in defense. Considering Sardara belongs to a different class altogether and plays an important role in team planning.
"I want Indian players to look as fit as the Australians or any other players in the world. And I am working towards this goal," Nobbs said. The way Indian team, especially the forward line, attacking the opponents in his 70-minute stay on the lawn, you have to keep faith Nobbs and give him time, space and respect to take his vision before.
Some, including the 1975 World Cup winning team captain Ajit Pal Singh, gives a different perspective to all the hockey scene. "We are well on our way to becoming a strong hockey power. And without us, or Pakistan, hockey is nothing. You can have a strong European teams, but it is the Asian style that makes the game what it is," said the former Skipper.
Indian-style or European style?
This debate is decades old now, but the way Nobbs was trying to mix the best of Desi with a European is proving fruitful for Indian hockey. One can only hope he was able to continue!
