Chief hockey coach Joaquim Carvalho believes that intensive training sessions and practice matches will help the Indian think-tank to find the best possible combination for the Olympic qualifiers beginning in Santiago, Chile, on March 1.
"Matches against the Western Australian side will provide us with competition, which is vital at this stage. We aim to achieve a better understanding among the players. We need to be at our best but without laying bare all our ideas,'' Carvalho said on Friday ahead of the team's departure for Perth.
The 24-member squad together with an eight-member support staff will leave for Perth on Friday night for a training-cum-competition stint to prepare for the qualifiers.
