As the International Hockey Federation (FIH) announced the schedule for the 2018 hockey World Cup, India head coach Sjoerd Marijne emphasised on the importance of winning every single match. 'It is the World Cup and every team will come with the intention of winning. So, we can never say we are in a favorable pool or a tough pool. We need to respect every opponent and World Rankings don't matter in a World Cup. We need to focus on ourselves and ensure we win every single match if we want to win the Cup,' stated Marijne.
