Top quality guys Indian Senior National Team Coach Wim Koevermans yelled almost all throughout the 90 minutes practice session at the Jaypee Greens. This was his first practice session in Delhi/NCR after being based in Bangalore for almost a fortnight.
As the boys sweated it out, the Dutchman was in no mood to compromise. His attitude was infectious enough - from Syed Rahim Nabi to Subrata Pal to Gourmangi Singh to Sunil Chhetri to the U-22 players Milan Singh and Alwyn George amongst others, the boys stayed ever willing to give that extra bit on the lush green field.
"The boys are much better than what they think they are,"Koevermans maintained later. "We are on the right track and the atmosphere in the camp is good. Everyone is working hard," he added.
Speaking on the sidelines of the first day's practice, Nabi stressed, "Wim has been insisting on building up from defence. I have been with the National Camp for long but some of the tips as far as positional sense is concerned have been an education for me."
Alwyn added,"I have been learning a lot. The U-22 stint in Muscat and my experience in the National Camp under Koevermans has helped me immensely."
