India hockey team coach reckons defending champions are eager to become country's first side to win back-to-back gold in the Asian Games

The Indian hockey team finished runners-up in the recently concluded Champions Trophy
India's hockey coach Harendra Singh yesterday asserted that his boys are here to create a legacy by winning back-to-back Asian Games gold medals. "We are here to create a legacy by winning the gold for the second successive time," Harendra said. "No Indian men's hockey team has won back-to-back gold and we want to do that," the coach said.
No complacency, please
Asked about the competition, the coach said, "We are confident, but not over-confident. We know that we cannot afford to take any opposition lightly. In fact, no team at such level can do so." On his team's preparation, Harendra said, "We are doing well. The players are fit and eagerly looking to defend the title." The Indian men's team are grouped in Pool A along with South Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong China and Indonesia.
