Ilya Vorobyov: "We played well as a team against Switzerland"

Head coach of the senior Russian national team, Ilya Vorobyov, shared his opinions after the 3:0 triumph over Switzerland at the 2019 IIHF World Championship:

- Switzerland have a good, organised team. We played well and took advantage of our opportunities. The opponents didn't surprise us. Alexander Georgiev's penalty? Yes, it's a penalty according to the rules, but the referees need to keep up with what's happening on the ice. Nikita Kucherov and Nikita Gusev are playing great together. The Swiss tried to provoke Nikita Kucherov? He's a world star, so that's why they did that. We have told him to keep his cool.
