Upbeat hockey team take on Singapore tomorrow

Bangladesh national hockey team will look to start from where they left off against Indonesia when they take on Singapore in their second match of the AHF Cup tomorrow.

Having beaten the hosts by 7-2 on Friday, the charges of Iman Gobinathan Krishnamurthy have been upbeat yet staying humble and focusing on the next match.

"[We] stay humble, stay focus, focus on our game, take game by game and improve and play according to plan," the coach told The Daily Star today regarding the team's mantra.

"Singapore vs Indonesia match was better indication yesterday (Saturday). They have a good structure but they have many young players. They will become good near future starting from this tournament," evaluated Krishnamurthy.

Even though Bangladesh looked a bit nervous early against Indonesia, they eventually shrugged off the nerves and left with a big victory.

"The pitch is very bumpy. All the teams are having problems. We will have to overcome this if we want to do well in this tournament," said the Bangladesh coach.
