The coaching staff of the Russian youth team must draw the right conclusions from the discipline problems in the first match of the World Cup with the Swedish team. Alexey Zhamnov, head coach of the main Russian national team, told Sport-Express about this.
“In yesterday's match our guys were let down by discipline. Against an opponent of this level, one cannot retire so much. Holding back the Swedes in a 3v5 game is very difficult. Yesterday they played the majority cool. Our guys had too many unnecessary emotions, ”Zhamnov said.
However, the coach does not consider the situation irreparable. “Nothing terrible happened. Yes, we lost, but the guys don't need to be upset. I think that the coaching staff will draw the right conclusions from yesterday's defeat, ”added Zhamnov.
The best moments of the match of the Russian youth team with the Swedes at the World Cup Ice Hockey The Russian youth team players on Monday night lost to the Swedish team with a score of 3: 6 in the first match at the World Championship in Canada.
In turn, the President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation Vladislav Tretyak said that he was worried about the number of pucks missed by the Russians.
“I am alarmed that in two matches, against the Canadians and the Swedes, we have conceded a lot - 12 goals. This means that there are questions for goalkeepers, defenders and central strikers, and something needs to be corrected. I think the coaches know this, and I think they must urgently, today already, correct these mistakes before the match with the Swiss, "Tretiak TASS said.
He added that before the team left for Canada, he reminded hockey players that "discipline beats the class." “And it is common for young players to make mistakes, especially when something goes wrong. Well, how can you play three against five twice? In the first period there was an equal game, and we had chances, ”said the head of the FHR.
The Russians will play their next match against the Swiss on Tuesday night. The meeting starts at 0:30 Moscow time.
