India’s High Performance Director Roelant Oltmans said that his team is well-prepared to take on Olympic champions Germany in the Champions opener, on Saturday.
“The mood in the team is upbeat. I think this is what we have been practicing for the last couple of weeks. The last days are always difficult because you want the tournament to start,” said Oltmans.
“I think we are well prepared but still you never know because I am sure all eight teams are very well prepared. I am pleased with our boys training. The team is ready for the tournament,” he added.
Even though Germany have fielded a relatively young side in the tournament, Oltmans warned against taking their opponents lightly. “Germany are the Olympic champions and European champions. They are very strong team.”
