Ilya Vorobyov: "We'll reveal the World Championship roster on May 1"

Interim Russian national team head coach Ilya Vorobyov:

- The overall performance was good, but we didn't play as planned in the second period. Bogdan Kiselevich's penalty? Take a look at how many games he has played this season, tiredness is taking its toll. Pavel Buchnevich convinced me to take him to the World Championship? We will reveal the roster for the competition on May 1, we'll have a couple of sleepness nights to make our decision. In the second break, Artyom Anisimov came and said to me that he didn't have any energy remaining, he's only just arrived from the USA. Lars Johansson's job with us is to do with methodics. Igor Nikitin manages the defensemen and Anvar Gatiyatullin helps him. Alexei Kudashov, Alexei Zhamnov and I work with the attack.
