Yes.. He's not a magician !!!!

Our national game, which is not cricket but hockey has made some heads turning towards it after winning the Azlan Shah cup after nearly 14 long years. Hockey which is always overpowered by cricket in India has lost its importance after their dismal show in Olympic qualifiers. Gaining momentum these days, the Indian Hockey has appointed a new coach, Jose Brasa who is a spaniard. First foreign coach !!!! (forgive me if i am wrong). This sounds good, since teams like spain, netherlands etc have gone a level up in hockey and we, the founders of the game are yet to prove something due to the lack of expertise and technology. Brasa has said that "He's not a magician" and he can give results slowly. I truly agree with that since a coach from a different country will find it difficult to get in sync with the team mainly due to the language barrier.Overall, this new move has been refreshing and will do good to Indian Hockey. Hope the hockey team goes up from here, get back to the winning ways and earn the gold in next olympics.
