coach Jacek Płachta:
After two defeats from the start of the tournament was for us a very tough game, but the team came out on the ice for 100 per cent mobilized. In these moments, in which we should score goals, we scored the goal. Our weakness were very good, although it is known that we do not want these penalties, there were a little too much. “Radzik” upheld us in difficult moments.
The shift Patrick Wronki top five: We wanted to change something, to give the team a boost. In this statement the boys played in December and there it looked really good, so little – you could say – ventured, because there were a lot of changes, but you can see that it paid off.
You can really thank the guys for the nature of that They show, because it was not an easy game for us – getting after two defeats on the best team in the tournament. The boys played with determination, commitment – and were rewarded with the fact that we won this game.
Nicholas Łopuski:
After the first two matches talked coldly, analyzed the situation, after which we lost the goal. At the training we worked on the efficacy, potrenowaliśmy little fives. But all the time we believed and we were ready mentally for this match.
We had really a knife at his throat. It’s like a double-motivated us to work hard, everyone played with great dedication, Raphael (Radziszewski) upheld on the back, the effectiveness of worked, so it dropped us some pressure, because we started to score goals and returned to his game – it’s us nakręcało it was the flywheel.
Exclude need punishment, there are too many. The coach points out, to do less penalties in the attacking zone.
about his goal: puck bounced off the bands, I saw that the goalkeeper is not until the end moved to the post, I tried to surprise him – I knew the puck or fall into the goal, or will be reflected from the goalkeeper, and then he could fall. It’s nice that fell, but today many of the guys played supermecz. Patrick Wronka Rafal Radziszewski, Patryk Wajda, who sacrificed himself for the team, he threw himself at the shot
We focus now on the match with the Austrians. This is just one victory on Wednesday, waiting for us the next tough game. I think it will be a meeting similar to that of Slovenia. We will have to play consistently in defense, to implement tactical assumptions, play your game and use the situations that will nadarzały.
We are counting on the support of the fans, for us are very important. They give us MegaPower.
Thomas Malasiński:
The beginning was not easy. We scored the first goal, but łapaliśmy a lot of penalties cost us a lot of strength. But I also think that these weakening strengthened our belief that we can win – and we won. We broke the losing streak.
We trained very hard before the championships and believed in our abilities, we believed that we really can play with the best. Unfortunately came as came out, a false start. But this is a tournament – here, every game is important and every game we play just to win.
We need to work on the exclusion of penalties. Perhaps this is due to some kind of nervous at the beginning.
I am pleased with the hat-trick. A lot of guys have helped me, excellent application for a second goal, and later found the puck in front of goal. I am very happy because of this, but the fact that we won is important.
(After the first two games) coach firmly letter came, he said, gentlemen, we learned something else – Let’s play something else, and it must end somehow zatrybić. At the training really well we went. Unfortunately, this false start, perhaps the nerves, maybe just were weaker. We have not had too much luck – this time luck was on our side.
We play for the fans, playing for Polish, with the eagle on his chest. Well, that fans of us doubted, because really in every game – even if we lose – we give everything. I hope that in the match with Austria fans will be even more, and on Friday will be full hall.
Rafal Radziszewski:
We wish that it was the first match of the tournament, so we would like to start this championship. Unfortunately, the reality is different, we have the three points from three games. But we do not give up, you can see it after the game, we all left heart on ice. We maintained the first third of where we were doing a little too much punishment, but the second period was evident that the team should play. I think that the next two games and we play like we can still count in the tournament.
The previous matches approached in the same way – you can not say that the Italians neglected or Korea. Just the first two games did not work out our way, we had to chase the result, it failed and gained points. This time, coach pozmieniał some Fridays – you can see that the work probably better, because they shoot the goal. With one goal – as in the first two games – it’s hard to win the encounter. Slovenia scored four goals and immediately three points.
Any win is very uplifting. Against the Austrian team should come out with even greater commitment and show what we are really capable of. You will not przestraszymy and we played as equals.
Patrick Wronka:
We wanted to rehabilitate himself for the first two lost matches. Obviously, someone has to lose, but we played below their level, and now wanted to prove to the fans, myself, the coach that we can better.
We knew that we can play hockey, we can compete with these teams, but something jammed and (to match with Slovenia) we need better approaches, more consistently play defense, because we are losing stupid goals, the stupid mistakes. And in this meeting it looked great, the whole team played with dedication. Here, too, respect for Patrick Wajda, who did not finish the game, because he got the puck in the face – and this victory is dedicated also to him.
(in the third period) not looked at that, 4-1 run, because it lost to us. We wanted to continue what we played by two thirds. Not looking at the clock. We just wanted to consistently play their home and knew that it maintain.
About match with Austria: First of all, consistent game in defense, few penalties. We can not allow a situation as in the first third of Slovenia, because we know that 5 on 5 we can play with them a normal hockey and even dominate.
