In fact, in the film, the Indian team lost to Australia in the World Cup and then went on to beat the same team in the final, which had the reel-keeper star.
In real life, even though Gurjeet Kaur scored the winning goal, it was keeper Savita Punia who became the nation’s go-to on social media, with many dubbing her the ‘Wall of India’. Savita kept Hockey Russia out of eight penalty corners.
marijane revealed that watching a film on self-confidence after three consecutive defeats broke the morale of the Indian women’s hockey team.
“The difference is in believing in yourself and believing in their dreams and then it is about going back to reality, focusing on your past. I think that’s the main thing and that’s what we did,” Marijne said after the match.
He pointed out weaknesses in India’s game.
“Defending was not good enough especially defending in the circle. So we focused on that. It also helps to keep your mind away from winning and losing.
“It’s all about mindset. I told the girls that we have nothing to lose, so play for free and that’s what we did today. It’s like a dream come true. I think it’s really Chuck Give India.”
