India Women Vs Italy Women FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers 2024 Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch IND Vs ITA Match Live Telecast On Mobile APPS, TV And Laptop
The Indian women’s hockey team today take on Italy in their last group game ofthe FIH Women’s Hockey Olympic Qualifiers and they cannot afford a loss or a tie. India got off to a shocking start in the tournament, losing to USA in the opening group clash. India’s Olympics qualification chances received a big jolt but the team regrouped in time to deliver the punch in the 2nd game vs New Zealand.
The Savita Punia-led side won 3-1 against New Zealand to stay afloat in the race to Paris Olympics 2024. Coach Janneke Schopman said that she had told the team to go all guns blazing and play for their pride against New Zealand and it worked. “I think it was just a shift in mindset. Yesterday, we were not good, we struggled as a team, we fought and tried but couldn’t make it click. More than me, the girls had a meeting, and then we prepared for NZ. It was just about figuring out how to play hockey again, and I think we did that today,” Schopman admitted after Sunday’s game.
Schopman told the girls, “If you think of pressure (against the USA), today there was way more than that because we knew that we can’t lose and even a tie is probably not enough. Everyone knew what was at stake. I just told them, ‘You owe it to yourself to play hockey today, let’s just do it, and then we will see what happens.”
