“It’s the way we have been playing.”
P.R. Sreejesh and Krishan Pathak move to one side of the goal of the practice ground at the Birsa Munda Stadium after the Saturdayexercises. Shivendra Singh, an assistant coach, and goalkeeping consultant Dennis van de Pol line up to take shots at the goal from the perimeter of the circle, surrounded by a cluster of balls. Sreejesh and Pathak alternate in front of the goal and make save after save.PR Sreejesh, the one who speaks up more and revels in his saves. Pathak’s style is more modest.
Sreejesh and Pathak alternate in the goal for field play and penalty corner routines for another 30 minutes while the practice with both goalkeepers continues. The 34-year-old seasoned player Sreejesh is often shouting instructions to his colleagues, but Pathak is selective in how he gives orders yet still gets them heard.
India has used the “rotating goalkeeper’s policy” by alternating between the two each quarter for the better part of the last 18 months, with some degree of success. Incredibly, they have stuck to the strategy throughout the World Cup.P.R didn’t even attempt a single save in the opening-night victory over Spain, while Pathak was kept busy and required to make four key stops. Van de Pol was so ecstatic with how well they played that he neglected to even bring up the game.
“It’s the way we have been playing,” Indian team coach Graham Reid said in defense of the selection. The play of both goalies has been outstanding. Both of them shove one another. In the event that something was to happen to one of them, having both of them as live choices would make it much simpler to replace them.With four World Cup victories under his belt, P.R is a seasoned Olympic bronze medalist.
Van de Pol stated, “Sree is getting older, and we need a competent goalie in case he decides to stop. There are some teams with good backup goalies who never get the chance to play, so when they do, it’s brand-new to them.”
