A lot was expected from the Indian women`s hockey team at the Asia Cup in Muscat, Oman, recently given their impressive fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics last year. However, all they could manage was a bronze medal and coach Janneke Schopman admitted that it was a disappointing result.
"I hate losing, so I`ll be lying if I say I was not disappointed [at the Asia Cup]. We lost two games [0-2 to Japan and 2-3 to Korea], but in both we created a lot of opportunities. Also, our ultimate goal was to qualify for the World Cup [July 1-17in Spain and Netherlands] and we achieved that so that`s also a positive sign," Netherlands-born Schopman, who took over the reins from Sjoerd Marijne after the Tokyo Olympics, said during a virtual media interaction on Tuesday.
