Ramsay had a pressure of over 200
Craig Ramsay’s charges were sent into the lead by championship debut Andrej Kollár in the 13th minute. “They should have deployed it before,” he said in the studio RTVS Marián Gáborík.
Kristián Pospíšil, with two unnecessary exclusions, allowed Kazakhstan to turn around. “He made two huge and unnecessary mistakes. It was selfish to the team, he just couldn’t do it. We saw the facial expressions of Craig Ramsay, the pressure was over 200. I think there will be hockey sticks and baskets in the cabin, ”said Marián Gáborík after the introductory part.
“Craig may not be such an extreme, but his voice has certainly increased. Such an experienced coach and a good psychologist knows when to lift the team and when to push. This will be the moment when he really presses the boys, “Boris Valábik continued.
Sit down and don’t hide!
Kristián Pospíšil sat on the guardrail instead of the substitute at the beginning of the 2nd period, he smiled. “I have to say. He can’t sit on the substitute and draw attention to himself in this way. It doesn’t look good for him or the team.
If you’ve already made two mistakes that the coach put you down, sit down, don’t block your teammates. On the one hand, he may be asking about the game in this way, but this is not the moment. He has to sit in the corner and deal with it, “said Boris Valábik.
They hurried under the bus
“We gave them the first two goals, they were vulgar exclusions,” surprisingly openly Andrej Kollár pointed out Kristián Pospíšil’s shorts. Bori Valábik did not like it: “These are statements on the edge, two have already mentioned them. ‘Fehi’ (Fehérváry) no, overseas players are taught not to throw teammates under the bus in this way.
It doesn’t work well in the team for guys to act on each other in front of the cameras. It must stay in the cabin, let them shout at each other. They didn’t name Kristián Pospíšil, but I can’t imagine that it will improve the atmosphere in the team. And they need her to be good. ”

Kollár could refrain from commenting
“Andrej Kollár is inexperienced and may not yet be able to communicate with the media. But he could refrain from that comment, “said Marián Gáborík. After the 1st period, he correctly predicted that Kristián Pospíšil would no longer intervene in the match: “I believe that he will enter the conscience. I’m not saying this was his last third in the championship, but let him pray we win. ”
He does not expect his deployment even in Saturday’s duel against Italy: “I don’t think he will start in the basic line-up. I hope he will sit on the switch and not on the guardrail. ”
Boris Valábik did not break the striker: “I understand that 99.7% of fans and experts would sit him down today. But if you talk to a player like that after a match like this, you let him know he can’t afford it, and you give him another chance, he’ll break the ice for you. ”

A tougher opponent than Kazakhstan awaits us
Although the Slovaks entered the 3rd period with a collected goal, they kept a close lead until the end. “At times, it seemed that we were afraid of the result,” said Marián Gáborík, and Boris Valábik jumped into his speech: “No, we were afraid. Everyone. I’m aged 3-4 years. ”
“A hardened, well-deserved victory, the guys will have confidence. Three points required tomorrow! ” Marián Gáborík roared before the confrontation with Italy.
“We have a tough, tough opponent ahead of us, definitely tougher than Kazakhstan. But less technical, we can expect more physical hockey. When it comes to self-confidence, it’s on the edge. We did not play perfectly by far. We have made a lot of mistakes, we are not relieved by self-confidence or exclusions. On the other hand, we scored four goals and won. It will be very difficult to set up well, ”concluded Boris Valábik.
