In the semi-finals of the first hockey World Cup in Barcelona in 1971, Pakistan had a huge edge against India, but the team's most experienced and most successful fullback Tanvir Dar turned against India in this World Cup.
The focus of all flights was on the 20-year-old left-back, including captain Khalid Mehmood, who is now hitting the corner of the plane. The young player made his international debut in the same tournament. He does not disappoint his colleagues. Their decisive goal led the Pakistan hockey team to the World Cup final.
Manor Alzman made this goal a hero and became an integral part of the Pakistan hockey team for the next nine years.
When the Pakistan hockey team was banned at the 1972 Munich Olympics, it was also influenced by Jagir.
For the 1973 World Cup, Pakistan had to form a new team and Khalid Mehmood retired and the leadership was once again handed over. Pakistan also got a new fullback in the form of Manzoor Al Hasan during this World Cup. After lifting the ban on players, Munawarulzman returned to the team and Munawar Manzoor became the star of Pakistan hockey.
Manzoor al-Hasan and Munawar al-Zaman were in the golden age of Pakistan hockey. During this period, Pakistan has won all international tournaments more than once except the Olympics. The 1980 Moscow Olympics were not banned, so it is certain that the Olympic gold medal belongs to Pakistan.
A pair of strong walls
Speaking to BBC Urdu, Munawar al-Zaman and Manzoor al-Hasan first captain Khalid Mahmood said, "They are both peaceful players. In spite of both, the Pakistan team promised to move on easily with their opponent D but could not go because they covered each other beautifully." One of the great traits of both of them is that they control their senses even under the most difficult of circumstances.
One life, two forms
Manzoor al-Hasan considers spending time with his departed partner a valuable asset. After Tanveer Dar, Munavarulzaman gave me a lot of guidance as a senior. I learned so much from him. He is technically a complete player. Over time, we both developed great synergy, which enabled us to put on our best performance against rival teams.
"Usually they score in the first penalty corner. If they score a goal, they score a second. Similarly, if I score in the penalty corner, the next penalty corner is mine," said Manzoor Al Hasan. "Before the match against Australia in Lahore, I asked if I could take the first penalty corner in today's match. Why did he not answer it. That is also a question to ask. I am very happy with that first penalty corner."
Manzoor al-Hasan said, "We have never been angry on the ground." If he ever gets angry, he sits outside the earth and expresses himself in a very low voice. Other players join the conversation and the conversation ends with jokes.
We call each other ‘Aga’. When one of us made a mistake on the field, we decided how to express it. We addressed each other that way. Aga Manzoor Aga Munawar "We understand each other's eyes," he said. Both we and center-half Akhtar Rasool formulated their strategy against rival teams over a cup of tea outside the field.
One of his most memorable matches was the Manzoor al-Hasan against India at the 1974 Asian Games. Pakistan won by two wickets in this decisive match for the gold medal, which was achieved by Munawarul Jaman and Manzoor Al Hasan.
Munwarzman has a habit of scoring goals against India. His decisive goal in the semi-finals of the 1971 World Cup and the final after the 1974 Asian Games brought Pakistan a gold medal.
Stopping the opposing player with the shirt number
Goalkeeper Salim Sherwani has a close relationship with both players. “There is a lot of sense in our sacrum,” he says. All three knew each other's health. If I go to the opponent above D, I know that Manzoor and Munawwar will be behind me to cover me. All three of us have complete confidence in each other.
Salim Sherwani said: "When the European teams play in front of us, I call Munawwar and Manzoor through their players' shirt numbers and ask them to take off such shirts." Says. ".
Salim Sherwani did not forget India's gold medal in the 1975 World Cup final due to Ashok Kumar's controversial goal. "In this match the injury of Samuilla has put a lot of pressure on our forward line and he has not played his traditional game," he said. Manzoor and Munawar are under intense pressure because of their personal game. At half time, he said, "Whatever we do, we try to give up. They can't take it."
Salim Sherwani says, "When I was captain, I wanted to make Air Marshal Noor Khan Akhtar Rasool vice-captain. I thought he was very senior after me, but I told him that he was the vice-captain over Munawar no al-Zaman in seniority." He became a captain.
Impressions are obtained in a fluid, global, diffused manner
Samiyullah, popularly known as Flying Horse, said Brigadier Atif was in the past. سبیداربشیر. Great fullbacks such as Riaz-ud-Din, Munir Dar and Tanveer Dar have come, but the game we saw in Munawavarul Jaman and Manzoor Al Hasan is no different.
It has been a common belief in the past that any player who is tall and strong will be a fullback, but Manorulzmann has misunderstood this concept. With normal height and body, he proved to be a world-class fullback. His check ball is worth pulling away from the opponent, just like Manzoor Al Hasan. He was instrumental in Pakistan's success in the 1982 Asian Games.
“They both played clean hockey,” Samilla said. Never ided with anyone, never clashed, never played tough game. On the field, we never heard the noise of the manor. "They were not fullbacks with strong hits, but they measured their hits and they scored on them."
"We have seen some very experienced fullbacks in India, Surjit Singh, Kroos and Paul Litjens in the Netherlands and many other teams, but I can honestly say that Munawar and Manzoor are some of the best doubles in the world," Samilla said.
It is not easy to control them
Speaking to BBC Urdu, Ajit Pal Singh, the captain of the 1975 World Cup winning Indian hockey team, recalled the days when it was the golden age of hockey, with many finals and semifinals between Pakistan and India. Var. Used to stay between India. The Pakistan team has a world class player in every situation. Among them were Manzoor al-Hasan and Munawar al-Zaman. The former India skipper said that after the start of the Pac-India match in this era, both the thrill and the conventional stick skills were so high that no one could close their eyes.
Ajit Pal Singh said Manzoor Al Hasan and Munawavarul Jaman are very disciplined players. His game is consistent and hard to beat. Then there was only the goalkeeper, so both tried to keep the goalkeeper in check. Not all of them are easy players to control.
Ajit Pal Singh still remembers Manzoor, Munawar, Isla, Rashid Jr., Shahnaz Shaikh, Akhtar Rasool and Samilla, with whom he played hockey with a keen eye on the field. The former Indian hockey captain said it was hot on the field, but we huddled outside the field and made friends, ate together and had fun.
