After touring and surveying various rural and urban households regarding their consumption pattern, Soham, Kavita and Krishna were invited to watch international hockey championship. The match started with higher ranked team dominating and scoring goals in first half. The lower ranked team fought back and equalized but in ten minutes before the full time, higher ranked team scored the goal and won the match.
Â
Kavita asked Krishna that why lower ranked team could not win the match. Krishna explained that victory and defeat is not only a matter of skills, game strategy but it is also a question of attitude. The lower ranked team was overwhelmed by the higher ranking of other team and conceded goals in first half. Though lower ranked team fought back in second half, but never had the belief and confidence that they can beat higher ranked team. This is the reason of their defeat.
Â
Krishna himself was an excellent hockey player and played as a center half. Krishna further elaborated to Kavita that hockey is a game of high level fitness, skills, strategy and is also very much physical game. The winning strategy of his team used to be 4-4-2 formation with solid defense. Krishna's team was fast on moves; they can attack rival goal post and defend their goal post in tandem. Players had good understanding and had superb hockey skills. Krishna said that their team was never dependent on few players; rather they had a bunch of excellent players who were fit and had superb hockey skills.Â
