Wow it seems this packed-defence system is working for Sultans.Sultans are going to apply same tactics in the future games too.So where is free-flowing hockey? Which is hallmark of Asian style of play. We should not copy European style , it will only create confusion in our players mind. Long pass, man-to-man-marking and fast circulation of ball are something that we are still struggling to learn. We only need to make few minor adjustments in Asian style, completely switching over from Asian style to European one will be a disastrous. Its not done, just get back to your natural flavor and stop searching for the fast food.Time has come for both Pakistan and India to jointly start searching for the last glory.At the moment we are just good for each other, but we always struggle to cope with super-fit and pensive Europeans. PHL is good beginning and it should be based on home and away concept. Well done India. Azlan Khan,
