President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (FHR) Vladislav Tretyak explained the defeat of the Russian youth team in the game with the Czech Republic at the World Championship. RIA Novosti reports.
In his opinion, the team hoped to win with little blood and was not well-tuned for the match. The head of the FHR also noted that the Russians have problems with playing in the majority. At the same time, Tretyak added that the defeat from the Czech Republic would “shake up” the Russian national team, which should play more confidently in the next matches.
