With two draws against The Netherlands and New Zealand, they maintained their top position on the points-table.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of their fifth match, India U-21 Captain Harjeet Singh said, “The last two matches were disappointing for us as we lost the matches in a manner which was not very good. We played well and dominated the matches, but failed to materialise on our opportunities. We are upset but not demoralised and we will come-back with more wins. We are working on our attacks and penalty corners, looking for positive results in the remaining matches. England is a good team and unbeatable till now. But we have some good players who have the abilities to stun the opponents. We are ready and will play for the win against England.<\/p>\n
Aiming for another victory, Coach Harendra Singh stated, “The last two defeats exposed our weaknesses in the forward line and we are now focussing on resolving the issues. The boys are working harder and looking for out-of-the-box strategies for better finishing. Tomorrow’s match will be crucial for us as a win will give us confidence and take us up the points-table. England is a good team and we are well-prepared to face them. I am looking forward to a good clash tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
