Alexander Zybin: "We will change the lines in the next match"

Russia U18 head coach Alexander Zybin:
- The Finns are an excellent opponent, but they did have one more day's rest. Today, they were faster than us and we couldn't adapt accordingly. Our poor errors allowed Finland to score cheap goals on our part. Unfortunately, tiredness takes its toll sometimes, and the players struggled when fighting for the puck behind the net. In all three matches the opponents have been stronger in the third period? At previous tournaments, this wasn't a problem for us. When the opponents see space open up at neutral ice because we are attacking, they take advantage. Amir Miftakhov could have rested? Our main goalkeeper should play, the defensemen and players didn't help him today.
