New India coach Michael Nobbs is determined on delivering results despite administrative conflicts that have hampered Indian hockey. "There are some conflicts in Indian Hockey, but as a coach, I am not bothered. My job is to get the best out of my players and I am concentrating on that only," Nobbs told PTI. The Australian said that working on the players' fitness was his top priority. "Fitness is a major worry. We are working on that. David John (physical trainer) is a bio-mechanics expert and players are following his fitness programme now. He is doing an elaborate analysis and I am sure that he will make this team fitter," he said. "Apart from fitness, change in style is also a major factor. We have to adopt the European and Indian style. European Hockey can not be ignored as it is dominant in international Hockey nowadays," he explained. Nobbs insisted he cannot perform miracles. "Give me time, I can promise you results. There will be no overnight miracles. I have been given a five-year contract and I will deliver results," he said. Nobbs admitted it would be tough to qualify for the London Olympics 2012."It will be very tough as we have such a short time for preparation. Other countries are 5-6 years ahead of us in terms of preparations. "But these boys are capable of qualifyin," said Nobbs. Olympic qualifiers will be held in Delhi from February 15 to 26 next year.
