KPS Gill rates Azlan Shah victory of little consequence

KPS Gill, the ousted Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) President who is fighting a court case after his Federation was suspended by IOA, last year, never ceases to be in news.
For larger section of newspapers, it doesn't matter what he says. For some, it still does.
Recently KPS Gill said, "This win is not worth much. There was no formidable team in competition. This win will neither help the team psychologically against top teams nor for regional competitions like the upcoming Asia Cup."

I can agree to one fact that there were not many top ranked teams in the competition. Pakistan team is already struggling with it's quality of the team. Black Sticks were the only team which have a World Hockey presence but they still are lower ranked.
However, this fact cannot undermine another fact, i.e. India won the Azlan Shah Cup. One cannot take away that credit from them. A win, be it against the minnows, is always a confidence booster. Yes, a win against some top ranked teams can give you a different level of confidence.

Had India lost the tournament (although being a fan, I never wanted that), I would be keen to hear what the critics would have to say? If they would have had criticism at that time, they can't have the same on a win! :)

Apart from that, I feel that Mr. KPS Gill ruled Hockey for more than ?13? years, he should give minimum 1+3=4 years to really assess that another administration is actually spoiling it or doing it better than him!
You can't comment on someone's performance in just a year! .. Come on, Gill saheb, let's stand by our team and, for one moment, leaving aside everything and congratulate them! :)
