Maybe he wants to encourage our hockey because it’s not so bad, but we just don’t have the top five teams. Today, of course, Germany is approaching us.

In the basic group, the Czech team caught two debacles (1: 7 with Sweden and 0: 7 with the USA), but again they defeated Russia 2: 0, Austria 7: 0, is the psyche to blame?
The fact is that when you lose 0: 3, young players find it difficult to cope with this situation and the fighting spirit and self-confidence are lost. In the match with America, we played good hockey halfway through, but when we got the goal, we completely fell apart and America clearly won. We lasted half. We played well with the Swedes in the first period, but then we dropped out, the opponents were able to play for sixty minutes.
I am extremely proud of the boys, of my whole second family, the captain said goodbye to the MS

And the match with Russia?
It was a little different there, the Russians scored two sticks in the first period, if one goal fell there, the match would get a different picture. We know the Russians mentioned, it’s the same for men that when they are favorites and don’t lead, they lose track, get nervous, start panicking and are able to lose the match, even if they are higher on the hockey side.
How do you see the future of Czech hockey?
That’s hard, we’re not good enough at hockey skills. This has been the case for a long time. Last year we had perfect individuals, but overall we did not succeed in the tournament, this year it was similar.
As a mark, would you give the Czech team for the whole tournament?
About three, when we weren’t enough for the first teams, maybe two minus.
