10 March Sohail Abbas Pakistan needs foreign coach
Interview Date : 2010-03-10
Interview By: PTI News
Description :
Star drag-flicker Sohail Abbas feels that Pakistan need a foreign coach to revive their past glory by blending Asian style with European structure.
Sohail, who failed to live up to his reputation as a dreaded penalty corner specialist in this World Cup, said hockey has changed a lot in recent times and the teams cannot afford weakness in any area.
"A team will have to be good in everything - defending, attacking, distributing or penalty corner conversion. The players now have multiple roles. I say the forwards are the first line of defence. We are known for our skills. But not only the skills, the structure (of how to play) is also important," Sohail said.
"We (India and Pakistan) need to play in Asian style but in European structure. You have to be fit and able to play at the same intensity for 70 minutes.
