Russia U18 have trained before the World Championship semi-final

In Slovakia, the under 18 Russian national team have been preparing for tomorrow's World Championship match against Finland.

Russia U18 head coach Sergei Golubovich:

- We asked for a specific training time today. Why? The players need to recover after yesterday's match against Slovakia. We need the players to have strength. Finland are a very organised team, they stick to their tactics and have strong players. All Finnish teams play the same way. Their quarter-final against the Czech Republic? I think that they relaxed after they scored the fifth goal.
