4 Nations: Raimo Summanen Download Direct Words from the Lions Tournament

Expert Raimo Summanen was disappointed with the Lions’ performance in 4 Nations. Finland remained jumbo in the opening series with two points.

One win in three matches is not a complete disaster, but according to Summanen, Finland’s basic gaming was not at a sufficient level.

“For this team, the performance was much worse than could have expected. The performance was so weak that this has to be made with a bigger analysis, ”he says.

Although the Finnish defense suffered from injuries, especially Miro Heiskanen Absence, it doesn’t change the big picture.

“We have a huge amount of improvement in five against five against five. We played nine rounds and about two rounds were okay and one round. Six rounds were quite shockingly weak. ”

”

“Finland all the time passively reversed in the middle area, and when we got the reel, it was tried to get somewhere.”

Lions He fell Swedish, but Canada and the United States were clearly better.

The US crushed Finland 6-1. Canada settled the match against Finland in the first round, even though Finland was close to the sensational rise in the rest of Kir. After 25 minutes, the situation was 4-0.

Although Finland has always been an underdog for the best players against the United States and Canada, after 4 Nations will inevitably arise: Is the level of different levels of Finnish and North American national teams as the latest results show?

Summanen thinks it is not.

“Finland is much better against Canada and the US when that performance is repaired,” he outlines.

Now the performance was badly left in the barrel.

“Finland seemed to be risky, even though it has been said for 15 years that Finland has grown to a winning generation. How did this go this way now? Who is responsible for it? There’s something bigger there, ”Summanen spins.

”

“The fields were exchanged, but it is cosmetics if the game or the terrain of the game is not changed.”

What Antti Pennanen The coaching team then went wrong?

Summanen is going to dismantle the gaming problems that Finland gave the opponent “quite a bit of a shocking”.

“The distance to the disc was quite shocking. In defense, it’s a constant problem because it makes the opponent look good. ”

Summanen’s attention also caught the attention of Summanen.

“When I started, most of the openings were transplant or glory hockey. No one can explain it. ”

“In the attack, the puck was thrown at the end and gave away.”

Summanen According to the game, the team’s members did not respect each other sufficiently.

“The problems of Finland cannot be set off by saying that everyone was doing things and everyone in the team respects each other. It cannot be if the performance on the ice is like that. Many players play much better at club level. ”

The former national team coach hoped that the Lions would have changed their game plan when the game did not start rolling.

“It was not changed at all. The fields were exchanged, but it is cosmetics if the game’s passage or the associated terrain is not changed. ”

According to Summanen, compliance with the way of playing is the responsibility of the individual, but if the original game plan does not work, coaching must have a backup plan.

“At no time did I see that the game method was changed. Finland all the time passively reversed in the middle area, and when we got the reel, it was tried to get somewhere. It was Finland’s destruction all the time. ”

“Has the coach decided that the game plan would not be changed, or haven’t the players done what has been sought? Have the coaches dare to coach and demand things from the players? Summanen ponders. ”

Sum does not want to scroll to anyone’s neck at this stage. It requires a deeper analysis.

However, he calls for someone to take responsibility.

“I went to a convenience store and there was one older couple. Pappa said [Leijonien peliin viitaten]”Yes it is that shared responsibility is not the responsibility of anyone.”

“I thought maybe there is a point.”
