Sjoerd Marijne News
Dutch tactician Sjoerd Marijne played a key role in guiding the Rani Rampal-led Indian women's hockey team to a historic fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics recently.
Against Argentina senior side, India played three games, managing a 1-1 draw and losing 0-2 and 2-3 respectively.
India captain Rani’s eyes are already set on the big final as she said on Tuesday that the win over Australia is a thing of the past and their focus is on the remaining two games in the competition.
Shah Rukh Khan portrayed the role of Indian women’s hockey team coach Kabir Khan, in a fictional story for the superhit movie ‘Chak de India!’ and after the India women’s victory on Monday, people started comparing Marijne with SRK but things got interesting when the actor himself commented on Sjoerd Marijne’s post on Twitter.
India women’s hockey team captain Rani Rampal was proud of the Women in Blue as the team executed their plans well against Australia and booked a historic berth in the final four of the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Gurjit Kaur scored the lone goal in the match during the first half through a penalty corner in a very tightly contested match.
Indian women`s hockey team coach, Sjoerd Marijne, is happy that two players from the team are being recognized with National Awards this year.

India's defence was put under huge pressure right from the start as the hosts made successful forays into the striking circle.
Young striker Lalremsiami (20th minute) and Navneet Kaur (40th) scored for India, while Shin Hyejeong (48th) found the net for Korea.
The last time India met Malaysia in a big event was at the 2017 Asia Cup, where it won 2-0 in the round robin league before winning the title in a tense final against China.
In fact, it is Australia against whom India lost in a shoot-out in the final of the last Champions Trophy in London. And that result would definitely be on the Indian players' minds when they take the turf on Wednesday.

Sjoerd Marijne has accepted Hockey India's decision to send him back to the women's camp, but the Dutchman said he was confident of delivering results with men's side in the Asian Games and World Cup despite a poor Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast.

Hockey India's High Performance Director, David John, on Saturday told Zee Media that Sjoerd Marijne's job as the chief coach of India's men's hockey team is safe. However, the findings of a review meeting of the team's performance at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Australia will be made official only on Tuesday.
The Indian men's hockey team's medal-less and rudder-less Commonwealth Games performance has brought chief coach Sjoerd Marijne under the scanner with Hockey India scheduling a performance review meeting later this week.
After a disappointing end to the CWG, some of the players got together and met the coach telling him that "overly focusing on blooding in youngsters" won't help the team win consistently - sources told Zee Media.
Both teams were already through to the semi-finals. But to say that it left nothing at stake would be like somebody caught napping at work.
The Dutchman says he sees all the right signs for a successful CWG in Gold Coast, Australia.
