“Congratulations for Finns, you were better in the finals and you deserve your gold medal and celebration. ”

This was stated by the former chairman of the International Hockey Federation IIHF Rene Fasel after calling Ilta-Sanomat. Fasel wanted to clarify the statements he made after the victorious Olympic final of the Lions.

“Finland plays hockey, which is built on tough defense and block play. It may not be beautiful to watch, but it is effective. Now it brought gold medals to Finland. ”

“I say outright that I am a fan of Russia. I like the way they play, ”Fasel stressed.

“I also said after the tournament that the semi-final match between Russia and Sweden was better hockey. Maybe it was influenced by the fact that a solution had to be sought all the way from the penalty shots. ”

Fasel was already known as the President of the IIHF of Russia and especially the President of Russia Vladimir Putin as a friend.

“Now I am no longer the chairman of the IIHF and I can say what I think,” Fasel laughs.

“Russia has a chance to revenge in the spring at the Tampere World Championships. They will be great competitions, because I know how much hockey is valued in Finland. ”

Fasel reminds that Finland now played a really good tournament.

“You won all your matches and earned gold medals.”

“Finland had an all-time team in Turin in 2006 and you would have already won then. Then you didn’t have luck, now you did, ”Fasel recalls.

Fasel will be happy to discuss the final game and its twists and turns. He wasn’t completely happy with his favorite team’s Russian game either.

“They couldn’t play with their strengths, they couldn’t spin the puck at the attacking head. Finland had such a strong defense, it was like a wall. After all, the Russians didn’t get many shots in the third round until the finish line was blocked so well by your attackers. ”

Rene Fasel is currently the honorary chairman of the International Hockey Federation and will be coming to Tampere to watch the World Cup in spring. He is not afraid of being received by the public, even though he confesses to being a supporter of Russia.

“I was in touch today Kalervo to Kummolaan and I congratulated him on the Olympic gold. I think that with Kalervo, we will excite the events of the World Cup final in the spring in a melted harmony. This is a sport and it’s just great that it arouses emotions in the fans. ”
