New Delhi: Indian hearts were crushed as the menโs hockey team lost in the final step to hand the Germans a ticket to the finals of the menโs hockey at the Paris Olympics 2024. The German team got their redemption from the Tokyo Olympics where the Indian team defeated the former to win the first bronze medal after a long wait of nearly 40 years.
India played nearly a perfect game which had the right balance of defence and offence against the waves of German attacks. Even without an important player like Amit Rohidas, the Indian team had managed to thwart the German attacks. However, it was a matter of time before the German team managed to break free. Subsequently, the German team managed to score at will against the Indian team due to a lack of a capable first rusher like that of India.
