India men’s hockey team chief coach Graham Reid has told his players to keep their emotions in check and avoid cards against a strong opponent like Belgium in the Tokyo Olympics semi-finals on Tuesday.


India have made the Olympics semis after 41 years. While Reid expressed that he was happy with the 3-1 victory against Great Britain in the quarter-final on Sunday, he highlighted that getting two green cards and one yellow card in the game is something they must avoid against Belgium.


“Looking forward, the things we can learn from last night  [Sunday] is that there is a difference between passion and emotion. Sometimes, we let our emotions take over. We need to keep 11 players on the pitch. The problem is that we played a lot of our game against Great Britain with 10 men. We can’t do that against Belgium and think that we can be victorious,” said Reid.
