This bankruptcy hits Peter Spornberger particularly hard

The 23-year-old Rittner is under contract with the Schwenninger Wild Wings and will enter his second season in the top German ice hockey league in the fall. A good performance against his teammates and opponents from the DEL would have been particularly important to him.

“Yes, that really hurts,” said Peter Spornberger immediately after the game in conversation with SportNews . “Alexander Karachun ( two-time goalscorer, editor's note ) plays with me in Schwenningen, I know others from previous years," said the Italy defender, who received encouragement after the game, "after a result like that you don't talk about the game for long, but they have already said: ' Come on, keep your head up.”

We have played well so far in this tournament and we will get back on track.” “The goals in the final third showed that the attitude was right.” Italy striker Alex Petan There is a similar direction of travel Alex Petan who scored his second goal of the tournament against Germany. “Sure, that was our worst game. But the goals in the final third showed that the attitude was right. “I’m going into the final two games against Slovakia and Kazakhstan with a lot of confidence,” said the Italian-Canadian. Seider is already thinking about Switzerland Germany's star player Moritz Seider After the game, he spoke of a “compulsory win” but also admitted that “Italy showed morale toward the end” and coldly punished German mistakes. “We know where we still need to improve. Reaching the quarter-finals is all well and good, but against Switzerland we now have to master a benchmark properly,” said the NHL defender. In fact, Germany already has the ticket for the next round in its pocket. For Spornberger, Petan and Co., from Saturday onwards it will be about sporting survival in the world group.
