Significance of IND vs GER games
For Indian Men’s Hockey Team Chief Coach Craig Fulton, this series carries special significance as the South African made his international debut as a 21-year-old at the 1995 Indira Gandhi Gold Cup, held at the same stadium.
“It’s a special feeling to be back at this iconic venue, where my international journey began nearly three decades ago. To return here, but this time as the coach of the Indian national team, is truly remarkable. Life has indeed come full circle for me,” Fulton said. “From the point of view of an opposition, Germany poses a lot of threats, they are very good tactically, they are good in man-to-man marking. So, our strategy will have to adapt. You know you can play one way for 10 minutes and then totally different way. They are a good team, smart team and we like playing Germany.”
Indian Men’s Hockey Team Captain Harmanpreet Singh also expressed his excitement of playing his first international match in the capital, “I’m really excited to be playing in Delhi again,” he said. “I have a lot of fond memories of this city and the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium. Back in 2013, I was part of the junior camp held here, and I spent countless hours training and honing my skills at this very stadium. It played an important role in my development as a player, so returning here to play an international match feels like a special homecoming.”
