As Indian men’s hockey team seeks to better its silver-winning 2014 show in CWG, head coach Sjoerd Marijne talks to Rutvick Mehta about importance of doing well in Gold Coast
What are the goals you've set for the team from the Commonwealth Games (CWG)?

As Team India, we want to go into every tournament looking to win a gold medal, and that is going to be our endeavour from now on. It starts with the first match at the Commonwealth Games, which is against Pakistan. For us it's most important that we play that match well, and from there build on it. We're not watching the semifinals or finals. Of course, we know the teams that are in fray, and we know their strengths and weaknesses. But again, it's all about focussing on doing our things right.
