Harri Säteri fought off 28 discs in the semi-finals against Slovakia and thanked the Lions for their defense.
Beijing
Keeper Harri Säteri got a light knock on his mattress Juho from Olkinuorawho walked through the interview area of the Beijing National Indoor Sports Center.
At the same time, Säteri shared comments on the top-tight semi-final against Slovakia. A small nod started from the speech in the direction of Olkinuora, who had remained second guard.
The Lions won 2-0 and will play in the Olympic final. A big thank you goes to Säteri, who played the zero game.
“Quite a fight,” Säteri said after thinking for a moment.
“Slovakia was really good today. There is nothing in it. We were that much better. Tough game. ”
Sakari Manninen scored a winning goal in the first set in 15.58, and Harri Pesonen transported the puck to an empty finish 39 seconds before the end.
“The guys played really well in front of me today, helped me, defended the center really well and liked the guys [vastustajat] outside. It was really nice to play again. ”
Although The lions defended excellently, accumulating 28 puck for Säter to fight. Many of them very important, although it was precisely the finishing efficiency of Slovakia that collapsed.
That’s what happened in the first encounter at the start of the Olympic tournament, and so did the recent game between Slovakia and Sweden. There was a lot of effort, long pressure, finish points, but the cynically precise finisher was missing.
“There were a few difficult situations, but not the hardest to get out of there. That’s how well it was defended and you have to give the whole team a prop. ”
Mirroring the entire tournament, Säteri said the match had come to a difficult end.
“Overall, semi-finals and pressures. It was definitely the hardest game like that. ”
Säteri said he was able to channel the worst of the excitement out and into the right places. The result was shown on the light board as zero scored.

Slovakia longed for a solver and powers. Was not Juraj Slafkoski as a solver, although the teenager had time to score five goals during the tournament before the semi-finals and the second match against Finland.
At the start of the tournament, Slafkovsky played in the quadruple and did not get the lead. Now he pushed in the first field, but there was no superiority when the Lions did not take any cool in the whole match. A rare game.
“Yes, I paid more attention if I once scored a couple (five) goals,” Säteri admitted to watching Slafkoski every time he came on the ice.
Säteri made one wish from the Lions game to the Olympic finals.
“Yes we need to be able to play a little more on the puck and play long attacks. Let’s think about them tomorrow and Sunday. ”
