A lacklustre India today slumped to their second defeat at the Hockey World League (HWL) Final here and chief coach Sjoerd Marijne was livid with the execution skills of his boys. Despite having the better share of chances in their final Pool B match against Germany, the hosts could not execute them and went down 0-2. Summing up the performance of his players at the end of the pool stage, coach Marijne said better match statistics doesn't have any significance if a team can't win. "If you look at the match statistics, we have more circle entries, more penalty corners, more ball possession but eventually it is about scoring. The chances we get we have to make use of them," the Dutchman said at the post-match press conference.
