Youth Team Russia at the World Cup is on unusual for Mentor Graphics. Is there a reason to worry of brilliant victories at the start?
On yesterday’s brilliant victory in the junior match with the hosts all of our media wrote in superlatives, spared no epithets. Lovers of MCM with the experience may well have the impression that New Year’s Eve has passed, and in the court of the beginning of January – the games right through. Still, three of his previous trip to the finals MCM Valery Bragin taught all these “miracle”, “magic” and other “kings comeback” against his teams appeared in the playoffs, when many of his charges have long been buried.
Good or bad, that the Russians have gone on an unfamiliar path of his mentor? Speaking specifically about this team is closer to the truth is still the first option. Players 96-year birthday, forming the basis of the current convocation of the youth, never achieved any high-profile successes at youth or junior at an international level. Even this season, we have twice ranks last on both “Tournament Four Nations” in competition with the Swedes, Czechs and Finns. In the traditional Super Series with teams from the Canadian junior leagues produced just one win in six attempts. It is clear that there was verification of candidates, and in the strongest part of the Russians in these tournaments are not played, but the lack of success still somehow impact on believing in yourself.
Therefore, neither of which self-confidence after a decent 14 for passing the test thousandth the Finnish sauna is not out of the question. But in its ability to cling to the opponent’s grip bull terrier, famous than the previous teams Bragin, the guys found themselves in. Make no mistake, the team informed performances of their predecessors, and now realize that nothing is worse. So, for the decisive battles of the Russians fit in the proper mental state.
Today’s game against Belarus to such does not, with all due respect to our former compatriots. And indeed the fraternal team seems to realistically assess their strength and is already preparing for the play-offs for the right to stay in the top flight with the worst team of the parallel group. Otherwise, what would explain the absence of the application only truly poshumevshego Helsinki player – goalkeeper Kulbakova. Overseas media have recognized it one of the heroes of the recent game of the day, despite the defeat of the team and the coaching staff has already made it possible to break the key moment of the tournament. The task for a first grader.
It is clear that, despite not having the status of the enemy, waiting for fireworks attack on our team is not worth it. Still, the game with the Finns took away too much emotion, and the recovery time was just nothing. The surroundings, too, did not have injectable adrenaline: gathered in the stands on the strength of a half thousand spectators. In such circumstances, to realize their advantage in the classroom do not always get a little blood, but nervous on Tuesday it was not possible. While the majority of our (knock on wood) exceeds the most optimistic expectations: the completion of the first two attempts. Along with the revamped scoring Kamenev and Piglet removed all questions to the first break.
The Belarusians have not raised their heads, but for us the main thing was that the neighbors began a rampage of impotent rage in bodily injury or disqualification. Fortunately, the war games on the ice no play has not begun, and the junior can calmly prepare for the final match of the group stage with Slovakia, a victory which guaranteed first place in the group. With such a position bragintsy the playoffs never left. However, the previous three tournaments under his leadership junior held in North America.
