«knew how to play the Swedes. The most important question – to allow smaller deletions. Five by five, they did not create anything – we played tactically competently. I am very glad that the responsible attitude to this match. At this tournament we play on the rise.

nezaschitanny goal Dergacheva? I think that it was, but the judges invent something “- quoted Bragin” R-Sport ».

Also, our instructor said that has not yet decided who will be the main goalkeeper in the final match, Ilya Sorokin or Igor Shesterkin.

«I do not know. We will think to look. It is difficult to say who will play. Sorokin good friendly match played against them (2: 1 in overtime) – 50 shots reflected. The choice is, it is more fresh, more emotion. Still a lot of work to be, especially at the beginning of the match. Preparing for both, and there decide. Final – a great event in the life of children. We talked to them, they are well aware that in hockey there is one place.

We have more time to rest. Final, it is final. The quarter-finals at me. The chances of 50 to 50, something should go. No, do not worry to him. It is necessary to properly play selflessly. Who feels that there is a team. In any situation, the players support each other, “- added the coach of the Russian team.

Goalkeeper youth team of Russia Igor Shesterkin thanked his partners for the quality of the game in defense.

«I must say thank you to partners who have caught a lot of goals and acted selflessly. They had more work than I have. All done, all fought, was a team.

On the final force, of course, will be. Emotions need to be protected. Canada or Slovakia? Canada – all about this dream finals. With them will be very difficult, but they can be beat “- confessed Shesterkin.

That’s Russian striker Ivan Barbashev said before the finale of our team, it is important to have rest:

“We were ready for 100%, they knew how to play against them. Understand that we have no room for error. Now everything has calmed down as a team, stopped shouting. To arrive at the hotel, have a good rest, sleep and just tune in tomorrow’s game. Immediately go to the hotel, very few people will look the other semifinal game ».

All normally perceived, no hard feelings can not be ».

Another striker youth team of Russia Ivan Fischenko summarized the semifinals MCM and shared expectations for the final:

«Swedes turned tough match. We were not easy, especially in the first period. Swedes always good to start the game. We had to play well on defense and realize moments in attack. When we stood in the minority, this has become a key point in the game. It was not easy, but we withstood the onslaught of the opponent.

Why match was very different from the previous meeting with the Swedes in the group? I think it’s about attitude. We went as a team and one fist fought, worked out for each other. We were given full play in every moment, ready to come out and charged to victory.

Somewhere we underestimated the opponent, but we were determined as the last battle, and were ready to give their all. In the third period, the Swedes began to play more individually, trying to do something for one.

We organized game in the middle zone, and its area has done a much simpler met opponent did not give the Swedes enter the zone. Of course, we put the emphasis on defense and waited for opportunities to counterattack. The main thing was not to miss the chance to score and will always be.

At the end of the main thing – to go out and fight to the last minute, laid out all 60 minutes. We do not propose rival – took to the on who came out. In the semifinals, the whole arena supported the Swedes. We just need to ignore the podium, especially because there are Russian fans, but simply impose their game and Canadians think about it ».

At the end of the World Youth Championship Russian team 6 January to meet with Team Canada, Slovakia won with a score of 5: 1. Kick-off – at 4.00 Moscow time.
