Head coach of the Russia 25 team Romain Rotenberg said that in a series of matches with the Belarusian national team, his team wants to show the best hockey in the world, worthy of the largest international tournaments.
On Saturday, the Russian team defeated the Belarusian team at the Qazaqstan Hockey Open in Astana with a score of 6-0 and became the winner of the tournament.
— We were seriously preparing for the match. We understood that the opponent played well in defense and that we had to overcome it. In the first half they couldn’t keep up with us, so there were a lot of penalties, we created a lot of them, but we played in the attacking zone, so there was only one aim. It’s good that we scored shorthanded after the break. Although the best minority is the game without removals. The series has only just started, I think we can play even better. It will become more and more difficult with each new game. We play for the whole world, not just our fans. “We want to show the world the best hockey to prove that we deserve to play in both the World Championships and the Olympics,” reports a correspondent, according to Rotenberg.
After the meeting in Kazakhstan, the Russia 25 team will play three more matches with the Belarusians as part of the Betting League Big Team Tour tournament: May 6 in Omsk, May 9 in Tula, May 11 in Minsk.
