India vs Malaysia Hockey Asia Cup 2025: The Indian Men's Hockey Team missed a lot of chances in their match against defending champions Korea, which resulted in a 2-2 draw in their opening Super 4s game at the Men's Asia Cup in Rajgir, Bihar 2025. Hardik Singh (8') and Mandeep Singh (53') were the goal scorers for India while Jihun Yang (12') and Hyeonhong Kim (14') scored for Korea.
However, the Indian side was subjected to a lot of criticism. Even the head coach, Peter Fulton, acknowledged the shortcomings.
"We just had to deal with the moment a bit better. The crowd is here for blood, they just want goals and when the noise is high everyone thinks we need to hit a bit harder or do more. Like I said, we just have to live in the moment and then play to the space."
Fulton stressed that it is up to the players to reflect individually on how to stay calm under pressure.

"It's individual reflection, how you work with Paddy (mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton), how you work with what we are trying to do. It's just not for this tournament; it's all the way for your career. It's how you manage these moments," he emphasised.
The South African reiterated that his side created enough chances to win the game.
"We played well in the first quarter, created a few chances and obviously missed those PCs. But we then conceded two. We had enough chances throughout the game to win the game," Fulton said.
