Swedish In the opening round of the World Floorball Women’s Championship, on Tuesday, Finland offered a steamer that, according to the players, has not been haunted by the back of the head.

“Our way of thinking is that we live in the moment. That was not the match we had to win in Sweden. Sweden is the only loser in the tournament, and we have the role of underdog, ” Veera Kauppi said Wednesday.

If Finland wants to be number one in the Uppsala World Cup, it will most likely be able to defeat Sweden in the final.

“We’ve beaten them once this fall. We know what is required of us, Kauppi sums up and reminds us that “in addition to Sweden, the Czech Republic and Switzerland are bad opponents.

Before semi-finals and possible finals Finland must advance from its semi-finals on Thursday. It will be met by a Russian team or Poland who will meet late Wednesday night.

“We’re pre-favorites in the semi-finals, but it won’t be a go-to. Everyone must be awake from the beginning. It’s not a World Cup final yet, but we’re leaving with the idea that it’s our main match. It’s damn cool to be able to play real games, ”says Kauppi.

Finland left some of their trump cards hidden in the Swedish match in the first round, where they lost 3–9 goals. Finland’s biggest star Kauppi only played superiority.

“I know our gaming has gone under the skin there, maybe they weren’t terribly happy with the way we played,” Kauppi clicks.

Finland prepared for the semi-finals in a relaxed atmosphere by organizing, among other things, a table tennis tournament.

“In the intervening days, we try to get the thoughts out of the game. In the evening we will start preparing for tomorrow. With video clips, you probably can’t do anything but mess your head, ”says the head coach of Finland Lasse Kurronen said Wednesday during the day.

In its initial block Finland, which finished second, opened the tournament with clear wins from Germany and Slovakia. Against Sweden, Finland had great difficulty in starting any kind of ball game in the two opening rounds. Personal mistakes also paid off.

“All five have had good successes. The Swedish match was not a button game, but it was not yet intended. We tried things out and played all the players. We got confirmation of what kind of things need to work if we still face it, ”Kurronen summed up the first block.

In the semi-finals, Finland will hold a lot of balls, as in the matches between Germany and Slovakia.

“The trend has been for other countries to emerge from a very low point and strike against the top four countries,” Kurronen predicts.
