Hulunbuir, China: Craig Fulton was full of praise for the young Indian team that retained the Hero Asian Champions Trophy. The chief coach was happy with the unbeaten run in the tournament, but said the campaign was not easy for the young side.

Harmanpreet Singh, the captain, who led India to a bronze medal in Paris, was named the Hero of the Tournament. He scored at crucial stages and also set up the winning goal in the final.

Chief coach Fulton said, “It was tough for us, a good one in the end. We had to work hard, it was a really good fight. Seven games and we played some good hockey but we just couldn’t score tonight but we got the result in the end.”

Fulton added, “It has been a roller-coaster, Paris and what happened there and just eight days with the family.

“To come here with a young group and some new players, they boys were tired but we found a way and that’s always the sign of a good team.”

Fulton added that this team could go a long way and there was enough talent to build a solid unit for the future.

Skipper Harmanpreet was also thrilled with the result as it showed the next lot was ready to take on the responsibility as India prepares for bigger challenges.
