The goal was all-the-more special for Rohidas with his family in the stands. The Indian team, in fact, thrived off their energy and expectations. Then Hardik Singh added a second in the second quarter, which gave India a winning start. The roads have been spruced up and the hawkers on the sidewalks have been removed. Murals depicting the culture of the city and flashy lights and street lamps have been erected along the length of the long roads leading up to the stadium. Amit Rohidas and Nilam Sanjeep Xess, who hail from the district, are defenders in the Indian team. Just over half the capacity seats are filled up when England and Wales push off at 5 p.m. ‘India jeethega [India will win]’ chants are belted out as fans get the colours of the national flag painted on their faces. A few, though, have braved the logistical strains to experience hockey fever in the middle of nowhere. Families of some of the overseas teams have decided against making the long trip to India. The Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar is awash with the Hockey World Cup buzz. The state government has provided the national teams with the infrastructure, funding and facilities to help recover the sport from its slumber.

India will continue its Men's FIH Hockey World Cup 2023 campaign by facing England after starting with a win against Spain.

The match between England and India will take place at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on Sunday (15 January 2023). He scored a fabulous second goal of the game that put India in a strong position. Both of his goals came from penalty corner situations and the Indian defence must not give England and Ansell chances to strike from the edge of the circle. However, the Indian players will hope to absorb the energy from the fans who will support them wholeheartedly. Defeating India will give them a huge chance of finishing as group winners and directly making it into the quarter-final stage of the tournament. Finishing top of the group will ensure direct qualification into the quarter-final.

Awe-inducing drone-shot aerial photographs of Odisha venues for the Hockey World Cup will look fetching not just on glitzy brochures.

And while Odisha is using hockey to make a political statement, the best hopes are that those stunning drone shot pictures prod other states to support sport in their backyards as well. The truest signs of development, though, are the 17 artificial turfs in Sundergarh district, one in each block, that are training hundreds of potential hockey stars for the future. They are poster frames of the emergence of hockey in a state of India which is branding itself as the reinvigorated sport’s spiritual home.

We need to continue with that in the next game against England," he concluded. Reflecting on his personal performance, the ace drag-flicker said, "Yes, I missed converting the Penalty Corners and a Penalty Stroke, but it is part of the game. We were first with the ball and that makes a lot of difference in these sort of games." Echoing the Chief Coach's remarks, Captain Harmanpreet Singh, said, "We speak daily that we have to be defencively strong because even if you score or not, it is important to be strong in defence and you can't afford to make silly mistakes. He further reflected, "We have been practising playing with 10 men as we thought at some point in the tournament we are going to play with 10 me, and we played with 10 men today. I think that's always the case, you try to keep the ball out of the goals, and we managed to do that, so that part was good."

India's opening World Cup game was the kind of test that most teams are wary of, and pulling out three points against Spain was a definite confidence ...

We are not the worst team in the world because we lost today, we want to grow in the tournament,” Caldas acknowledged. “What happened was that slowly India started eating their way into our game confidence and they were faster than we were, I think we were not as sharp as we would like to be. “The team has to handle things on the pitch and even when communication is not possible players need to know their position, their role and be aware of their surroundings.

England's hockey team has adopted the new ultra-aggression of the Brendon McCullum-coached England men's Test team.

While the win over Spain would be a confidence-booster, Sunday evening’s match in front of another sell-out crowd will be a battle of equals — between the teams ranked fifth (England) and sixth in the world. The winner of Sunday’s match will be the favourite to top the pool, thus ensuring a direct spot in the quarterfinals. “It’s not just the style on the pitch, it’s also the philosophy — removing the fear of failure, just like (captain) Ben (Stokes) and Brendon have done. The fact that India coach Graham Reid swears by attacking hockey as well means the crucial Pool D match between the two sides could once again be a high-scoring, high-stakes thriller. Both play positively, have shown the ability to soak up the pressure and remain patient as well as possess the kind of ruthlessness that was previously not associated with them. But coming into this edition, they have ditched their slightly conservative approach and transformed into one of the fiercest attacking units in world hockey.

On the flip side, England fared worse with its penalty corners — earning 12 but fumbling 10, its main drag-flicker and top-scorer in the last one year Nicholas Bandurak failing to fire. The aggressive game played by England would test India’s defence a lot more but also hopefully allow the Indians to run more freely. The defence, of course, was the star, with players literally putting their bodies on the line and Krishan Pathak pulling off a series of brilliant saves to stake his credentials as Sreejesh’s successor.
