00:00You must be wondering where Pakistan's hockey has come from.
00:04Pakistan's hockey from independence till 2005-06
00:10and if we look at it now, there is only disappointment.
00:15In this event, I felt that Pakistan played better.
00:18Our young boys showed a good performance.
00:22We cannot blame the players.
00:24Because I feel that the kind of money they get,
00:27the kind of facilities they have,
00:28the way the boys play hockey, this is the big thing.
00:30So, where are the mistakes that we are not able to move forward?
00:34There are a lot of mistakes.
00:36You know that for the last 8-10 years,
00:39we have been in trouble.
00:43The foundation is not standing in one place.
00:45Politics has come in.
00:47We don't know where the money is going.
00:49Now the thing is that if you want to do good and better,
00:53then everyone will have to be one.
00:54And the positive nature that you have to walk on is the boys.
00:58If the boys play, your foundation will win,
01:00the people will win, the government will win.
01:02If the boys don't play well, then you won't get anything.
01:05The thing is that if you break the team again and again,
01:08then a new coach comes,
01:09takes his favorite team,
01:10and breaks it again,
01:11then the confidence level of the kid goes down.
01:15So, let the kid play.
01:16Keep one coach.
01:17Now Tahir Dhaman has come.
01:19See, I am a Pakistani.
01:21First tell me,
01:22you bring a coach on such short notice,
01:25then what will you expect?
01:26Just now you took care of the team and had to go to the event.
01:29See, the thing is that we took the team on short notice.
01:32Okay?
01:33You have to play with the minds of the players too.
01:35You have to see their fitness too.
01:36The team goes after analyzing everything.
01:39Now in Asian Champions Trophy,
01:40you know that your top teams,
01:43like China,
01:44Pakistan, which was at 4th or 5th in Asia,
01:48now it is 3rd.
01:49So, the team has come.
01:50It is good that you played well.
01:52And Tahir played positively.
01:53The second thing is that India,
01:55you know that they have won the bronze medal in the Olympics.
01:58And they are in the ranking in the world.
02:00India is at 5th and Pakistan is at 16th.
02:03So, you have a team at 5th,
02:05and a team at 16th,
02:07and still you fought with them.
02:09And you lost 2-1.
02:10But India did not play their full strength in that match.
02:13They knew that against Pakistan,
02:15this is a dead rubber.
02:18They had already qualified in the semi-final.
02:20They gave rest to their main players.
02:22You know that China also did not play their full strength.
02:25Pakistan won 5-1 on the pool.
02:27And when China came in the semi-final,
02:30they defeated Pakistan on the stoke.
02:33They played with full strength.
02:35They also had a home crowd.
02:36And they had marked them
02:38as to what their weakness was
02:39and what their strong point was.
02:41Did we get overconfident?
02:43We thought that our final was with India.
02:45I think the boys were overconfident.
02:47They were overconfident,
02:48and they lacked fitness.
02:49They should have the fitness
02:51that is required in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
02:54In the 3rd quarter,
02:55you show your full strength.
02:57You show your worth.
02:59I think I saw that worth in the patches.
03:02As far as patches are concerned,
03:04I would like to mention
03:07that the 2-1 match we played against Japan,
03:09in the 3rd quarter,
03:11the force we used...
03:12In the last 5 minutes?
03:13Yes.
03:14The force we used.
03:15Yes.
03:16Ghanan Shahid scored 2 goals.
03:17And in the last second,
03:18you scored a goal.
03:19You won that match.
03:20And in the last second,
03:21you scored a goal.
03:22If we had played like that,
03:23I think we would have been
03:24way ahead in this event.
03:25Look,
03:26it's about fitness.
03:28You had 3 ace players.
03:30One was Ghanan Shahid.
03:32The other was your runner,
03:34Naveed.
03:35And these 2 boys
03:37used to penetrate you.
03:39They used to attack you.
03:41The rest of the team was fine.
03:43Sufiyan was attacking well.
03:44Sufiyan also attacked well.
03:45All I can say is that
03:47you got the bronze medal in Asia.
03:50You got the 3rd position medal.
03:52And you came to the victory stand.
03:54You came to the 3rd position.
03:55Otherwise, you would have played
03:56in the 4th or 5th position.
03:57Right?
03:58And now you are losing in Azlan Shah.
04:00I don't understand one thing.
04:01It's the same thing.
04:02Tell me,
04:03are we not working on this?
04:05Don't we read the opposition's goalkeeper?
04:08Why is there a penalty shootout problem?
04:11It happened with us in Azlan Shah.
04:13It happened here as well.
04:14It seems like we don't know
04:16how to take a new penalty shootout.
04:19The thing is,
04:20one is a penalty corner
04:22and the other is a penalty shootout.
04:23Both are different fields.
04:25And we have failed in both.
04:26We have failed in both.
04:27I think,
04:28the penalty corners we missed in this event,
04:30if we take out the stats,
04:32it will also be recorded.
04:33I told myself,
04:35I spoke to Rana Mujahid.
04:37Tahir Nawan should also think about this.
04:39You have a world record holder,
04:41Sohail Abbas.
04:42Yes, Sohail Abbas.
04:43Take care of him.
04:44For example,
04:45when you give a lot of money,
04:46to the government,
04:47they are asking for money from you, right?
04:49You have so much money,
04:50you lose it.
04:51You don't know where your money goes.
04:53You call that kid from Holland,
04:55call him with respect and say,
04:57we will give you 10 pairs.
04:59You will get at least 5 world class.
05:01You will get it, right?
05:02Absolutely right.
05:03He will throw 100 push-ups.
05:04He will do 100 jack-flips.
05:07He will give 2-2 hours to the kid.
05:09If he gets a scar on his hand,
05:10his strength will increase.
05:11Because if you keep throwing,
05:13you will get scars on your hands.
05:15I have seen blood on Khalid Bashir's hands.
05:17So the thing is,
05:18if you call Sohail Abbas,
05:20and strengthen that division,
05:22you will get every victory.
05:23Secondly,
05:24when you spoke about penalty shootout,
05:26we are continuously losing on penalty shootout.
05:28You saw,
05:29we lost to Japan 5 times.
05:30Then we lost to China on stoke.
05:33So,
05:34that division,
05:35Usman,
05:36you will have to give 2 hours
05:37on penalty shootout.
05:38When there is a training session.
05:40In the training session,
05:41you need to throw special jack-flips.
05:46And on the penalty shootout,
05:48you need to get 5 good guys.
05:50So that you can build up your confidence.
05:51This is not rocket science.
05:54These are basic things.
05:55Why is it not working?
05:57Why are we ignoring these issues?
05:58See,
05:59you and I are talking here.
06:01Maybe he will understand.
06:03If you don't do this,
06:04you still have tournaments left.
06:06You are still doing it.
06:07Now,
06:08for Olympics,
06:09World Cup,
06:10you will go for qualifying.
06:11And if this issue comes up again,
06:12then we will lose.
06:13Then we won't be talking.
06:14What did I tell you in the beginning?
06:15We are used to it now.
06:16Pakistan plays well now.
06:18So,
06:19we get a little worried.
06:20What happened?
06:21Tell me,
06:22if we look at everyone's scores one by one.
06:25We should have won the Malaysian match too.
06:27In 2-2,
06:28the game was in our hands.
06:29The draw in Korea too,
06:31in the beginning,
06:32that was also in our hands.
06:33In Japan,
06:34in the end,
06:35the goal was scored by them.
06:36That was also in our hands.
06:37So,
06:38China,
06:39we played very well against India.
06:41We played very well.
06:42We kept the third quarter in their hands.
06:45So,
06:46I don't understand this.
06:48One step forward,
06:49then two steps back.
06:51Where we feel that hockey is improving,
06:53there the work gets spoiled.
06:54See,
06:55there are dependable players.
06:56Dependable.
06:57They give an average game.
06:58Like,
06:59in our time,
07:00Shahbaz Senior used to do the gun down.
07:01Farhad Khan used to do it.
07:02Zahir Zaman used to do the gun down.
07:03Kamal Ibrahim.
07:04We used to do the gun down individually.
07:06And we knew,
07:07that we will give an average game.
07:09If we have an off fuller today,
07:10we will give an average.
07:11We won't give 100%,
07:12but we will give an average.
07:13So,
07:14from this,
07:15the kids give an average,
07:16and then come down to the blue.
07:17They come down from the average too.
07:18In the average,
07:19you can see it in one or two matches.
07:20In which one?
07:21In the average match,
07:22you scored 5 goals against China.
07:23In the pool match.
07:24You can see that in the average game.
07:26100% wasn't even a shootout.
07:27That you played very well.
07:29To give you 100%,
07:31listen,
07:32if you have an off fuller,
07:33you will at least be able to play the average.
07:35The average is actually winning.
07:37You will go down to the blue.
07:39Like you lost to China.
07:40This was it.
07:41You lost to China in the semi-final.
07:43This was the blue.
07:44I will say this later.
07:45You understand hockey.
07:46You have been commenting on it for a long time.
07:49You have been telling us.
07:50The thing is,
07:51this is a new coach.
07:52The war is going on inside.
07:54Whatever is going on,
07:55it is an internal war.
07:56But don't let it affect the boys.
07:57See,
07:58today,
07:59the community has shown a lot of interest.
08:00You have also shown a lot of interest.
