Only aggressive and risky hockey can stop Belgium, says Germany coach

Germany head coach Andre Henning said on Saturday that his team would have to play dangerous hockey with a bold effort to stop Belgium’s rampaging run in Sunday’s World Cup final. Belgium, who won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, went on to win the 2018 World Cup at the same stadium here and then a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Henning said at the press conference held on the eve of the final, “We have played against them in Argentina in the Pro League, winning one and losing one. Played against them here also which resulted in a draw. It is a fight of equals. I respect what Belgium has achieved over the years. Belgium is definitely the best team in the world at the moment. “He said,” So it will be a very tough match, we will have to challenge them. All their players are world class but we will focus on our strengths and skills. ,

Henning feels Belgium has no weaknesses. He said, “It does not seem that his team is weak at the moment. They are strong enough. But we want to challenge them, how long their dominance lasts. We would like to stop this. “He said,” We have to play bold, aggressive and risky hockey. We have to show all our skills on the pitch. Only then can we challenge a team like Belgium. The Germany head coach also said his team would look to repeat the performance they won 4-3 in Sunday’s semi-final against defending champions Australia.
