Ilya Vorobyov: "Our overall performance was fine"
22.04.2018
Interim head coach of the senior Russian national team Ilya Vorobyov spoke about the 1:2 Euro Hockey Tour defeat to the Czech Republic.
- Our overall performance was fine, but we can't expect to win if we don't take advantage of our goalscoring opportunities. Tiredness and nerves? Everything had a role to play. Some are tired because they hadn't skated for a while and only had a couple of training sessions with us.
- Who impressed you today?
- Our line combinations were experimental. We haven't seen some of these players play at this level for a very long time because they play abroad.
- How did Vasily Koshechkin perform?
- He trained twice and came here. Vasily played well.
- Can Alexei Byvaltsev go to the World Championship?
- It's too early to speak about that, there is another Euro Hockey Tour stage coming. We will see how the players coming from the KHL Gagarin Cup final feel.
- Will Pavel Datsyuk travel to Sweden?
- He is sticking to his own program. When we return, we'll find out how he feels.
- Which players from this roster will play the Swedish tournament of the Euro Hockey Tour?
- It depends on who joins us.
- Does it depend on the KHL Gagarin Cup final?
- And on the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
- Who are you waiting for from the NHL?
- We're speaking. Let's wait and see.
