After suffering back-to-back defeats, India would be keen to earn their first point when they meet Malaysia in their third league match of the Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament here tomorrow.

A new-look Indian team must get the frontline organised and tighten up the defence to have any chance of troubling the hosts, who are looking in good form in the seven-nation tournament.

In the losses against Germany and Pakistan, India conceded all the six goals through penalty corners, which must be a matter of concern for coach Harendra Singh.

Moreover, individualism rather than team effort has been the hallmark of the inexperienced side in competition so far and Harendra felt that a little combination coupled with clever overlapping of the linkmen should fetch them better dividends.

The coach also made clear that his side would be taking an attacking posture in tomorrow’s game. Malaysian coach Paul Lissek, on the otherhand, feels that India’s decision to play agressively would help his side.

“If India play an attacking game then it will definitely suit us as it will provide our forwards so much space,” said Lissek.
