It has already been reported that Latvia lost to Kazakhstan or 2: 3 (0: 0, 1: 1, 1: 1, 0: 0, 0: 1). Lauris Dārziņš and Rihards Bukarts scored for Latvia.

“There was a good and emotional game. The guys showed character and heroism, played for their homeland. From the first minute we played actively, we tried to make it difficult for our opponents, because we knew they had a tough match against Canada yesterday,” Kazakhstan head coach Yuri said Mikhail.

“One hundred percent justified the plan to play actively from the first minutes, because Latvia gave a lot of strength and especially emotion in the victory against Canada,” said Mihailis about the game plan, emphasizing that the Latvian game has been studied, but the coach thinks that Kazakhs simply it was better that the team on the field was as one and that he did not want to single out anyone in particular. He hoped that every game would work better.

The majority brigade, which is the strong side of the Kazakh unit, scored only one goal today. “They know everything about how to play. Maybe there was a lack of practice, because we only played one test match with Belarus, but the second game did not take place,” the coach of the majority team commented.

Kazakhstan’s team includes a number of naturalized players from both the other side of the Atlantic and from Sweden. Mikhail, like the whole coaching staff, was very happy with them, because “they played great and beat for their country”.

On the other hand, goalkeeper Nikita Boyarkin, who had his debut in the national team at the world championships, remembered the “bulls” the most, because there were not many dangerous moments in the game at his goal. He also emphasized that the players of the field did not allow many discs to reach his goal at all.

Meanwhile, the team captain Romans Starčenko confirmed that the coaches gave the task to play actively and pressing, because the opponents gave a lot of strength and emotion the day before. “We were fresher, and that played its part,” he summed up.

In subgroup B, six points in two games are for Germany, four points in two matches – for Latvia, three points in one game – for Finland, two – for Kazakhstan, but Canada, Norway, the USA and Italy are in one match.
