Expert opinions
“Russia and Sweden are accessible rivals. But this is the semi-finals, so we need to get closer. The Swedes have practically no weaknesses, just like us. Everything will be fine if Russia does not run out of the gate, ”said two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov.
“As for our chances of reaching the final, there are always chances. The Swedes are a tough opponent for Russia. I think it will be difficult to beat them, so you need to come up with something. In our team game is not yet glued. The victory over Denmark does not inspire confidence, because in terms of the game – when compared with previous matches – nothing has changed.
We have low efficiency, if we do not take the match with the Czech Republic. Therefore, it is not necessary to say that we will be able to beat the Swedes to score attacking actions. There will be a tactical fight here: you need to choose a smart plan to neutralize the Swedish drag,” said Olympic champion Alexander Pashkov.
“Our chances in the match with Sweden are approximately equal: in some ways we are superior to the Swedes, in some ways they are us. We can beat the Swedes through character and fighting ability. The main thing is that this does not develop into a distance, otherwise we have separate individuals in which muscles meet, and then any team is found. We have one such representative from Kazan.
I’m not giving away anything in this tournament. We do not work the rest, and this is an important factor in these games. The implementation of one or two removals is already a serious advantage, especially since the Swedes know how to build. Let’s wait, when the smell of medals, our guys wake up appetite. Coaches, in turn, are essentially not systemic hockey, which we fail to do, but something else.
How did we get to the semi-finals with such a game? We had an easy group, but we suffered with it very seriously. In the quarterfinals there was a butt with the same Danes, and Denmark has never been in the top five of the team, ”said Vladimir Plushev, Honored Coach of Russia.
