voice

Alain Vigneault (Canada coach): "It was essential that we could create opportunities and score goals quickly, the Czechs had several opportunities to take a break, but we had a goalkeeper on our side who made a difference in the match. in important moments, we tried to put the Czechs under pressure because they were opposed to all the opponents.We formed a training around Sean Couturier against the three best Czechs and did a very good job. we were not going so well because we only had a pre-game training or four or five training sessions, but our cooperation improved over time. "

Pierre-Luc Dubois (Canadian forward, goalkeeper): "We played just as well for sixty minutes, respecting the important details and, more importantly, we always found a way to put the puck in. Last year in Denmark, we were disappointed because we we lost in the semifinals with Switzerland and we did not even manage to fight for bronze with the US We certainly learned from this failure, but there is still a match in which we have to repeat the reliable performance for sixty minutes The Finns have strong and fast teams, they play cautiously on the defensive and especially in the cap, they are uncomfortable.It will certainly be a good match for fans and fans. players on ice.

Darnell Nurse (Canadian defenseman, scorer of goal): "I am happy to have managed to score in the semifinals and my goal was different.In particular, I try to work reliably on the defensive and, if possible, to support the attack. the puck on the other side of the rink Now there is a battle for gold that we want to control.It will certainly not be easy against the Finns. team who work responsibly, players sacrifice themselves, it will be difficult and we have to work hard to succeed. "

Miloš Říha (coach of the Czech Republic): "Congratulations to the opponent because he deserves a win. The Canadians were stronger, they seemed lighter on the ice than us and they took their chances. We were lagging behind in the basic things. We played a duel, we could not win the keys and we could not use the power play. This also resulted in a final result. We sent Patrik Bartošák to the goal because Pavel Frenchman was unwell. Whoever will be in goal Sunday will decide before the match.

Ondřej Palát (Czech striker): "We did not score, although we had a lot of opportunities. You can not win aimlessly. On the contrary, the opponent changed his chances and that was the difference. I do not know where the error occurred, it just did not collapse. In addition, the goalkeeper captured them perfectly. We made some mistakes that Canadians have punished. After the first period, it was good, but during the first substitution, we scored a goal. Now we are sad, but we can still get a medal. We look forward to the match for third place, it will be a great duel. "

Tomáš Zohorna (Czech striker, goalkeeper): "The game was balanced, we were even better in some sections, it was decided that we had made some blatant mistakes, leaving Canadians alone in front of our goal, we went to the second third to reach goals and get the shots. money immediately It was hard for us.The mistake is that we have not pushed in front of the goal, we have not tipped the goalkeeper of our opponent, we are not sure. We did not launch our missiles, then it was easier for the goalkeeper to catch him, I'm not happy with the goal at 1: 5, I'll replace him for the final, and on Sunday we'll have a Another tough match, but it's the last duel of the tournament and we'll do it all We really want the medal We have prepared for the Russians once in this championship and it will be the same now. because they are very dangerous in advantage The Russians certainly wanted gold, but I do not think they are content to give us the bronze.

Jakub Voráček (Czech striker): "Even though we were losing three goals, we were still going forward and we wanted to score a goal in the second period, and in the third quarter, the Canadians scored from the break and it was difficult. I do not think he put a goal to 0: 2 in the second half, we still had forty minutes to score twice, but unfortunately we did not use a good chance. Motivation is a medal that we have not won in the last seven years, of course it will be difficult, but we have to attack the Russians and make the game light and we have to regenerate and play well. a chance for the final, we're sorry.
