Little fake

After the match in Latvia, the head coach of the Lions Jukka Jalonen described in detail one of the team’s challenges.

Latvia defended itself on its own territory with a so-called dice formation. The name dice sign describes how Latvian players settled into their own territory when the puck was on the Lions player stage.

– We didn’t get a puck for the goal. We may not have always dared to shoot, which is quite understandable, as Latvia is a very good counter-attack team. Even their only goal came from a counterattack, Jalonen said.

– When you shoot at your opponent’s knee pads, you go the other way. Then it’s understandable that defenders need to think a little about where to deliver the puck.

Also an attacker Jere Sallinen talked about the same thing after the game in Latvia. According to Sallinen, the Norwegian players also knew how to settle well in the draw line. Sallis also had a fairly simple cure for the problem.

– We have to be better, more skilled! You have to get fired from the place. Little fake and puck to the finish, Sallinen rolled.

Skills
