Indian eves to meet Germany at the Volvo Event 2015
Breda (The Netherlands), 20 July 2015: The Indian Junior girls will meet Germany today, as action resumes after a rest day at Breda in the Volva invitational U-21 cup.
The Indians who lost narrowly to The Netherlands in their opening tie, will be looking at registering a win today.
The German team lost their first match against China 1-3 which means they too will step on the field with the same intent of opening their account in the tournament.
Chief Coach Mathias Ahrens says: “The tournament has just started and the loss against The Netherlands will not deter the girls determination to go up the points ladder. Our defence is strong which we proved in the last match. What is now needed is converting the chances that we create in their D. The key I think will be to get the penalty corners in our name and converting them. We are confident of a win tomorrow against Germany.”
Captain Rani Ramphal adds: “We were very strong yesterday and this needs to continue in our game against Germany. We have to ensure good ball possession and keep the pressure on them. Our breaking their defence chain and creating scoring opportunities will be important and if we stick to plan we have a good chance for a win”
The Volvo Invitational U-21 Tournament 2015 is being played at Breda, The Netherlands and will go on till 26 July 2015. India Vs Germany today 20:45 IST.
