Alexander Zybin: "I am satisfied with the result"

Russia U18 head coach Alexander Zybin:

- This was the first match of a home tournament. The guys were nervous, but we still managed to create a lot of goalscoring chances in the first period. I think that the fans enjoyed the game. We achieved the right result, but the quality of our game in the third period was not good. At the end of the game, all of our defensemen and forwards charged into the attacking zone for more goals, but we ended our conceding ourselves. The doctors are looking at Ruslan Iskhakov, he fell awkwardly into the boards during the first period when trying to beat an opponent.
