Insam calls for the attack: “Now it counts!”

After the clear defeats against the Switzerland and Canada knew how to convince, of all things, it was the tightest possible thing 1:2 against Denmark for shaking heads in the Blue Team. Defiant and with their heads bowed, the Azzurri stalked into the dressing room after the game.

One of the first to answer the questions of journalists in the mixed zone in the belly of the “Helsinki Ice Hall” was Marco Insam. After the game against the Danes he drew the following conclusion: “We played well again. However, we were already better at this tournament, but today we were missing a bit. We made life difficult for ourselves with a lot of punishments. In the last third we finally really stepped on the gas, it’s a shame we didn’t take advantage of our chances.”

In conversation with SportNews Insam's anger at the defeat was clearly noticeable: “Of course a defeat like that bothers you. We have been preparing very hard for two months to achieve at least one success here. We would have been so close.” At the same time, the man from Val Gardena adds: “But from now on it counts! France is one of those opponents that we can beat. I've already watched the French at this tournament and clearly, I have to say, they've got something. But the same applies to our troops, so we don’t have to hide at all.”

On Wednesday from 15.20:XNUMX p.m. (CEST) it will be seen whether Insam's declaration of war has an effect, then there will be a duel with the French, who are also in danger of relegation and who have so far only been able to score points against Kazakhstan in this tournament. With a win, Ireland's protégés would be aiming to stay in the league and at the same time quench the emerging hangover mood in no time.
