Four years ago when Neil Hawgood took charge as the chief coach of the Indian womens national hockey team, he had set a target for his side, then ranked fourth in Asia.I said that our goal would be to become the best side in Asia. That would be the clearest way to show we have made progress. Tomorrow we will get a chance to be just that. We have the chance to hold the Asian Champions Trophy,?Hagwood said from Singapore, where India made the final of the Asian Champions Trophy despite a 3-2 defeat to China in the last group game.?As the team gears up to play China once again, here are four takeaways from Indias run to the final.Self beliefIndia have played the Asian Champions Trophy final before. In 2013, they lost 1-0 to Japan. That scoreline masked the actual gulf between the two sides with goalkeeper Savita Punia having a great game. We were a goal down within seven minutes and we never really looked like we would cover that gap, Hawgood recalls of that game.That has changed in the 2016 edition. India were trailing 1-0 against South Korea before recovering to win 2-1. Against China, the side leveled from 2-0 down before China scored the winner from a penalty corner with just over two minutes to go. The girls showed plenty of character to keep pressing despite trailing. They have a lot more self belief that they can fight back than they once did, Hawgood says.Targeting consistency?While India made the final, it was apparent that they could have maintained an unbeaten run going into Saturdays game. I was really frustrated, Hawgood admits.India had done well against China to recover from 2-0 down through a penalty corner conversion from Poonam Rani and a field goal from captain Vandana Kataria in the space of three minutes late in the game. Then, in an effort to run down the clock, defender Sunita Lakra tried to shoot long along the sidelines instead of finding a teammate. A turnover was conceded and in the subsequent run of play, China scored the winner. Lakras brain-freeze following a phase where her side had dominated had been symptomatic of Indias run so far in the tournament.We are chasing consistency. We still havent been able to string together four good quarters. We started well, then had a bad patch. We then managed to play eight or nine minutes of really good hockey but then we gave it away in the final few minutes.Missed chancesLakras mistake shouldnt have been as costly as it turned out to be. Before Poonam scored off a penalty corner in the 50th minute, India had won six, missing all. Captain Katariya admitted as much. We had to work a lot harder than we should have. We had a lot of chances and we missed a lot of them. We cant do that in the final, she said.Edge in experienceKatariya will know that India have a very strong chance in the final against the same opponents. While there are world ranking points up for grabs at the Asian Champions Trophy, China, perhaps keeping next months Junior World Cup in mind, have sent essentially their junior squad for the tournament with no player older than 21 in their team.While India are missing senior players themselves, most notably former skipper Sushila Chanu, they have the clear edge in experience. Coach Hawgood remains cautious however. This is a young Chinese team but it remains a very strong squad. This is after all the same squad to have beaten Netherlands (at the Volvo U-21 tournament last year). We are probably seeing the future of the Chinese team in this tournament. Stitched Jerseys .

City lie nine points behind Leicester in fourth place - with a game in hand - ahead of their trip to Liverpool on Wednesday evening.With 36 points still to play for, Pellegrini is adamant all is not lost despite the medias title focus being trained primarily on Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal. Pellegrini, who takes his side to Anfield just three days after their Capital One Cup success over Jurgen Klopps side at Wembley, said: It was a very long game in the final. Vincent Kompany and team-mates savour their Wembley success Both teams will have had the same rest, but it is easier when you have won.
