On Monday, August 2, the Indian women's hockey team beat Australia at the Tokyo Olympics to reach the final four, becoming one of the few teams in India to have a medal in the Olympic Games. To celebrate, Shold Marion, head coach of the Indian hockey team, posted a photo of him on the bus with the players on his profile. In the photo, the coach and his players are grinning and laughing, and the whole car is filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The coach also wrote next to the photo: "My family, I'm sorry for you, I'll be back later." "It means that I still have to take the team to complete the rest of the games, and I don't have to go home so early." It seems that this time the Indian women's hockey team was able to break into the final four, which also exceeded the expectations of coach Shold Marion himself.
Shold Marion's update received many responses from hockey fans, and many Indian fans expressed their excitement, anticipation and blessings. Among them, there is a senior fan who has attracted everyone's attention.
This fan is one of India's "Three Khans", the national treasure actor Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh Khan left a message: "Hahn, no problem. Bring some gold (alluding to gold) on the way home... To a billion family members... From former coach Kabir Khan. ”
Shold Marion replied to Shah Rukh Khan: "Thank you for all your support and love. We will give everything again. From: (In reality) real coaches. The interaction between the two people is full of playfulness.
Why does Shah Rukh Khan call himself a "former coach"? Speaking of which, he has a lot of ties to hockey. He was featured in the 2007 film Come On! Chak de India plays a hockey coach named Kabir Khan.
In the plot, Kabir Khan, who was the captain of the Indian men's hockey team, lost a key blow in a match against Pakistan, and because he shook hands with the opposing player after the game, he was regarded as a traitor by fans and spectators, and was forced to leave the team and leave his favorite profession. Later, 7 years later, when forming the women's hockey team, he was recommended to become the coach of this team, relying on his strength and personality to put the team on the right track, leading the women's hockey team to overcome difficulties and fight for the dream of winning the World Cup.
The film is based on the greatest women's hockey team in Indian history, which has won eight consecutive international hockey leagues. At the same time, as a relatively scarce sports film in the Indian film market, "Come on! "India" rarely does not insert song and dance into the plot, and you know how rare this is in Indian movies!
The film achieved a good box office and is considered by some fans to be one of the best sports films of all time in India, and one of the films to which Shah Rukh Khan contributed best acting, and it is very popular in India, and has been the first box office for three consecutive weeks.
Coincidentally, in the film, the first game of this hockey team is also against the Australian women's hockey team, which is a former hockey World Cup champion team.
However, according to the latest news, in Wednesday's semifinals, despite tenacious efforts, the Indian women's hockey team still lost 1-2 to Argentina due to the gap in strength, regrettably stopping the semifinals. They will face The British in Friday's bronze medal battle.
