Naisleijonat Fighted himself third in the group of the World Cup.

On Monday, a 2-1 victory over Switzerland also made sure that Finland and Sweden meet each other in the semi-finals classic match.

Although Finland decided on two wins, Finland has not been too convinced of playing Finland. On Monday, Switzerland was surprising the female lions, although Alpine played without some of its key players.

Ronja Savolainen underdog and Michelle Karvinen However, the lucky goal settled the victory for the female lions.

In addition, the Finnish paint shone Emilia Kyrkkö21, stretched 27 times in front of the reel.

“Pretty average from Finland. This time it was enough to win. Switzerland was surprisingly good, for them the score,” expert Noora Räty times.

“Finland could continue to hairy much tougher against Europeans. Switzerland has no top holders, but they also got to raise the game due to quite passive hair,” he analyzes.

However, the female lions have clearly improved their game, especially at the defensive end.

Räty also praises the coaching, which has dared to change defense tactics during the tournament.

Finnish Immediately collapsed in the opening round into three cools.

Elisa Holopainen were sent to the ice for a stroke, Sanni Rantala and Jenniina Nylund Again for a whirlwind.

Räty points out that all the penalties taken by Finland were so -called “racket ice”.

“Sometimes they can be damage, but in general, racket ice is lazy. If we go to fight” right “, then they shouldn’t come,” he downloads.

“There were four racket ice in the whole match, it’s far too much. They must definitely be cleaned against Sweden.”

Finnish captain Michelle Karvinen He became the most powerful player in the World Cup history of the Lions.

Karvinen scored a 2-0 lead against Switzerland in the second round, and alone became Finland’s all-time queen of Finland. Before the start of the tournament Riikka Sallinen mixed Jenni Hiirikoski with.

35-year-old Karvinen has now scored a total of 61 (21+37) power points in his World Cup career.

“When he was younger, he was the Finnish star striker who was expecting goals and points. Now his profile is slowly becoming more a general player and a work mole who can always expect a steady performance,” Räty says.

He was pleased with the achievement of his good friend.

“I couldn’t imagine a better player who could have that record. He is such a stunning person, a player and a teammate.”

If Finland’s proposals have not been particularly convinced, so they are not Swedish.

In pre-expectations The women’s crowns It was the most challenging opponent for Finland to the quarterfinals. However, Sweden was in trouble against two underdogs against Hungary and Japan.

Nonetheless, female lions must be alert.

“The opponent’s top places often come from counterattacks. Finnish attackers have often doubled the same player that the defender has already caught. Communication while counterattack would be important to develop,” says Räty.

“Now let’s easily start pressureing the reel player on the edge, leaving the opponent from the other wave free in the middle.”

Räty is waiting for the Swedish match.

“Finland is a better -moving team than Sweden, so the pressure must be put on their head right from the start of the match. Probably the game will be low, so the cliché goalkeeper will play a big role,” he estimates.

“Swedish goalkeeper Emma Söderberg I have not convinced myself, so Finland should have an advantage in this department. Played with the goal then Sanni Ahola Or Kyrkkö, ”Räty says.

Finland and Sweden will meet in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
