Ahmed said he had to admit Europeans have improved vastly.
“The worst part is that we don’t accept our downfall and I remember that officials were saying that we will finish on the victory stand which was an illusion. We must admit we are at the lowest ebb of our hockey,” Ahmed said.
Fellow former Olympian Sohail Abbas said Asian nations must join hands to counter the European “onslaught.”
“Why don’t the Asian nations unite and counter the European onslaught?” Abbas asked.
Abbas, who plays for Rotterdam in the Dutch League, said the Europeans were beatable.
“Asian teams can beat Europeans because we have the skills but now after the Beijing Olympics we need to improve in all forms of the game,” he said.
