The number one chain shining against Slovakia remained in the dark in the game of Latvia.
11.2. 18:47
Lions the number one chain loaded goals against Slovakia, but in the game in Latvia the blanks were low, not counting Teemu Hartikainen swaying pole shot.
One reason was Markus Granlundin injury in the first round, but the biggest reason seems to be in the remaining players.
“It wasn’t as good as yesterday [Slovakiaa vastaan]. It doesn’t go away that one was missing now, but there were two other players playing in that chain. It wasn’t because it lacked Granlund, ”the head coach Jukka Jalonen said.
Manninen scored three goals against Slovakia, but it’s hard to hope for that every night. Not necessarily goals. The worst part was that the situations were missing.
“Latvia was a good team, a really strong team especially at the beginning of the match. Luckily, the goal was not to score and then the game was pretty well controlled. ”
Jalonen emphasized that the Lions played quite much better against Latvia than the day before when they faced Slovakia.
“Yes, these are all games that require patience and perseverance. Fortunately, it was found in us. Thanks in part to that, we won today. ”
“Today, no goals were scored, but that’s what the game is about.”
There were a lot of elements in the game of lions that are counted as virtues, even if their puck wanted goals until it got cold.
When Latvia defended, the players periodically believed in a solution sooner or later.
Niklas Friman was sick on the sidelines and the defender roulette was spinning seven.
“We’ve been playing for quite a few years with eight Packs and it would be nice to continue playing.”
Niko Ojamäki was healthy on the sidelines and had to be recycled by the team.
The initial block In the final match, Finland will face Sweden on Sunday.
The winner will certainly go straight to the semi-finals and the loser may have to pick up momentum from the pre-qualifying round. The place to go is not in danger when everyone goes on.
“Yes, as Sweden probably wants, one flute day and one game less. That is probably important. If it doesn’t, then you have to play one more game. ”
The best second in the block will go straight ahead, as in Finland in Vancouver in 2010, but in the first block of China, the red light will be burned properly to mark the goals. There is a good chance that the best block second will come from there.
Finland and Sweden will face off in the final match of the starting block on Sunday at 10.40. Discovery and TV5 show the game live.
