A final note: USA demands Italy

If the World Cup were to take place as originally planned, Italy, who are at the bottom of Group B with 0 points, would have already been relegated at this point. However, that is not the case because the World Cup in the second division was not held and therefore there is no promoted team. Given the starting position against the overpowering Americans, a carefree appearance is possible, and a courageous performance is the goal. However, the Azzurri are confronted with a great loss of strength: While Angelo Miceli & Co. were able to keep up with the opponent's pace throughout the entire game in the first few games, the Blue Team's tiredness against Kazakhstan and Canada was clearly visible in all of their actions. This led to long periods of pressure from the opponent and at the same time to few relief attacks. The result? 18 goals conceded in 120 minutes. Hold on for one more game Coach Giorgio De Bettin spoke about this physical condition in the press conference after the Canada game. “We were only on the ice four times in the 18 days before the tournament. In the first few games I was surprised that we were able to keep up so well. “We are now paying for this insufficient preparation,” explains De Bettin. Despite all the circumstances, he wanted to emphasize the courage, the willingness to sacrifice and the passion. When it comes to the game against the USA, the man from Cortina isn't leaning too far out of the window - not even when it comes to the goalkeeper position. Davide Fadani, who came on for Justin Fazio, put in an excellent performance against Canada - and earned another chance. “We will assess it with the coaching team and then decide.” The game in Riga starts at 15.15:XNUMX p.m. and will be played as usual SportNews -Live ticker accompanied.
