He questioned team preparations, including the women's coach Sjoerd Marijne's absence before the tournament, and challenged the focus on the upcoming Asian Games as a consolation. Sreejesh emphasized the need to build a team capable of winning against top global opponents rather than settling for good performances or learning experiences.
