Pakistan devises controversially-titled '9-11 strategy' for semi-final clash against India
Bhubaneswar: Aiming to outwit India in the Champions Trophy semifinals, the Pakistan hockey team has devised a rather controversially-titled 9-11 strategy which they plan to unleash at the Kalinga Stadium, here tomorrow.
"We will go with our 9-11 strategy against India tomorrow," Pakistan coach Shahnaz Sheikh said, expecting some raised eye brows. "Wait, don't misunderstand me it's not that 9-11 which you are thinking. It's a strategy that we have adopted. By 9-11 I mean we will attack with nine players leaving behind two at the back and defend with 11 players. So I call it 9-11," said the classy center-forward of yesteryears, who was a member of Pakistan's silver-medal winning team in 1972 Munich Olympics team.
