BIRMINGHAM: "Be angry, be frustrated, you have every right but move on and settle down before the crucial bronze medal match," was chief coach Janneke Schopman's mantra after the Indian women's hockey team lost in a controversial shoot-out against Australia in the Commonwealth Games semi-final.
And her words of wisdom seemed to have worked like magic as a wounded India beat New Zealand 2-1 in the shoot-out after 1-1 in regulation time to clinch a CWG medal -- a bronze -- after a hiatus of 16 years.
