Hockey Marko Anttila wondered about the Olympic judging line: “Undeniably a little special”

Beijing

Something the same Marko Anttilan the finish for the Latvian net was like Bratislava’s golden spring 2019 final against Canada.

The shot left the feed quickly from roughly the same sector as the Finals Handicap.

“It was a lot like that. I closed my eyes and so on, ”Anttila snapped after the match.

“I don’t know if it hit Björnisen (Hannes) to the club. It hit somewhere, but everything counts. ”

This time the goal wasn’t quite as important as it was in Bratislava in 2019, but that was an easing hit too. Anttila’s goal sealed the Lions’ 3–1 victory.

Anttilan the tournament didn’t get off to a good start, as the lion hero had to start his current Olympic journey from a barren isolation hotel.

“It was [maali] pleasure in itself. Of course, there has been a terrible desire to play here, ”says Anttila.

Anttila tried to maintain his condition in isolation to the best of his ability, but the circumstances limited it.

On the ice, a small training break was hardly visible.

“The leg got up just fine, there’s nothing in it. Of course, there were challenges, too, because there were no awful team trainings below. Well, basically none. ”

Anttila still fluttered the opening match of Thursday’s Lions. He escaped isolation on Tuesday.

Latvia was a disgusting opponent to the Lion: it turned and twisted and slammed the center.

Throughout the match, the Lions gained only three superiorities, although the game was sometimes held tight.

One of the coolers in Latvia still came from the wrong substitution and a penalty for the final moments for delaying the game when the goal challenge didn’t go through.

Anttila was asked if there were any laws in the trough. In between it has seemed to the gallery.

“Well … Undeniably a little special when you don’t really know what to do. And quite a lot can be done. ”

“It suits us just fine. However, the 5vs5 game is our strength. I like this more [tuomarilinjasta] than having coolers all the time. ”

Lions the machine hasn’t spun at full power in the first two matches yet. There may have been excitement in the air.

“There was undeniably a bit of a wait-and-see feeling on the team. That’s how I felt when I joined the team. Of course, everyone was pretty excited about it. ”

“You can still be proud of the atmosphere and focus. There has been all the fuss here. We have been at the heart, even though it was a bad start today. ”

Lions will face Sweden on Sunday. The stake is a block win. Anttila was asked what the significance of the block win would be.

“I don’t know anything,” he admitted.

“I haven’t looked at the situations in the other blocks. To my understanding [lohkovoitolla] should be one game less. That’s the biggest thing. ”

Anttila is right. The group winners and the best group runner-up advance directly to the semi-finals. Others play the qualifying round.
