Striker of the Slovak “twenties” SERVÁC PETROVSKý collected three points each time in the last two world championships in this category.
Already in the first two meetings at the 2024 World Cup, he increased this maximum. He contributed to the 6:2 win over the Czech Republic with two goals and an assist, thanks to which he was named the player of the match.
He then helped beat the Swiss 3:0 with a goal into an empty net.
He doesn’t like to brag about his numbers. He is a team player. He prefers to transfer the credit to his teammates, especially Filip Mešár, with whom he forms a dangerous duo.
In an interview after Thursday’s practice, he revealed what he wants to improve on before the game with the Norwegians, what his fight for a contract with the Minnesota Wild looks like, and revealed some tidbits about his unique first and last name.
After the opening double match at the U20 WC, you are the best scorer and the most productive player in Slovakia. What is it?
I think it’s thanks to my teammates. Filip (Mešár) scored twice into an empty net for me, I scored another goal into an empty net against the Swiss, so it’s also about luck. I try to do things honestly, and the goals also come from that.
Have you had chemistry with Filip Mešár for a long time or were you looking for it anew before the tournament?
We played together from the age of ten or eleven. We have known each other for a very long time. It’s thanks to that.
Which aspect of the game would you like to improve on an individual basis before the next matches?
