« From the beginning we were a worse team. The opponent had the upper hand. We lost fights, in the defense and attack zone, we lost pucks. We made a lot of mistakes in the defense, deservedly lost, » said Coach Országh.
While he was looking for positives in the match on Thursday, he criticized more a day later. « I expect more commitment and effort. The first half was really bad on our part. I don’t evaluate today’s match, » he continued.
The coach was not the only one who saw a double match against Switzerland in a negative light. « We were looking for the whole match. We scored three goals, but we have to say that we played badly. We have to learn from it, » said the third formation striker Patrik Hrehorčák.
Maxim Čajkovič was also disappointed, who admitted that the hockey player was missing fitness. « We were second in most fights, » he said.
The line -up is waiting for changes
Slovak hockey players will move home on Saturday. On Monday, the preparation for the World Championship will continue in Piešťany.
The second block will end with double -match hockey players against Germany. As coach Országh revealed immediately after the match, the line -up is certainly waiting for changes.
« There will not be many, but they will certainly be. We have to check the health of the guys and we will decide accordingly, » he said.
After the first match, Servác Petrovský dropped out of the roster, and several players were treated in the second match.
« The coaches will have a very hard job. They will have to take into account what players will be available and what they will come from overseas. From the first sudden they have to start creating a game that will eventually go to the championship, » added Konečný.
