U20 World Cup: The Azzurri want to use the home advantage

The Italian national team has been in the World Cup venue on the high plateau of Asiago since Monday. Next week she will compete against Norway, Belarus, Austria, Latvia and Slovenia. Before that, however, the squad must be reduced from the current 28 players to 22. “These will be very difficult decisions. Because the team has grown close together and in this form has enormous potential,” said Val Gardena selection coach Erwin Kostner on the homepage of the Italian Ice Sports Association. Im At the moment the squad also includes eleven South Tyroleans, namely Daniel Morandell, Philipp Beber, Daniel Costa, Ivan Tauferer, Maximilian Ploner, Ivan Seeber, Gregor Lanziner, Alex Lambacher, Joachim Ramoser, Michael Purdeller and Markus Spinell. They are all hoping for a place in the World Cup squad, which will be officially announced on Friday.

Two days later, the Azzurri's opening match against Norway is on the agenda. Italy will play its games at 20.30:XNUMX p.m. Coach Kostner's official goal is to stay in the league, but secretly the Blue Team is hoping for a top spot. After all, Italy recently made people sit up and take second place at the four-nation tournament, providing a clear test of talent.
