Will try converting more chances in future: Skipper Harmanpreet

Indian men’s hockey team skipper Harmanpreet Singh said on Monday that his side will try to convert more chances into goals in their upcoming FIH Pro League matches.
The Indian Men’s Hockey Team started their campaign at the FIH Men’s Hockey Pro League 2022/23 with mixed results, as they picked up a thrilling 4-3 win over New Zealand in their first game, and then went down 2-3 against Spain on Sunday at the iconic Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. In their first game of the season, India went past the Kiwis with Mandeep Singh (52’, 57’) scoring a brace, while Mandeep Mor (14’) and skipper Harmanpreet Singh (42’) scoring a goal each as well. On Sunday, Captain Harmanpreet Singh (27’) and Abhishek (55’) scored a goal each for India, but Eduard de Ignacio-Simo (17’), Captain Marc Miralles (27’), and Marc Reyne (57’) scored three goals for Spain to help their team pick up the win.
Speaking on the team’s performance after the match against Spain, Indian Men’s Hockey Team captain Harmanpreet Singh said that they will work upon improving their finishing before the next round of matches.
“We were creating a lot of chances. We received a lot of penalty corners. We were trying for different variations and combinations. But sometimes, they do not work out,” the Indian defender said, as per a press release from Hockey India.
