Nikita Zaitsev: "We played well as a team"

Russian national team defenseman Nikita Zaitsev shared his opinions on the 2019 IIHF World Championship victory against the Czech Republic:

- The Czech Republic have plenty of good players. We expected them to wait for counterattack opportunities and play in an aggressive manner. I can say that we played well as a team. I feel that we're progressing with every match. The Czechs had lots of break aways in the third period? I don't know, we will have to analyse the video footage. I didn't feel that they had more attacks.
