Vityaz is once again one size too big: Italy is facing another bankruptcy

In contrast to the first meeting on Friday, coach Stefan Mair put Vallini in place of Bernard in the Azzurri goal. The new additions Markus Spinell, Raphael Andergassen and Stefano Marchetti were also available to the head coach for the first time. Italy started the game well and initially gained a visual advantage. Despite initial field superiority, it was the team from Vityaz that took the lead: after just under ten minutes, Davydov scored to make it 0-1. Just over five minutes later, Vyglazov made it 2-0. Instead of reacting to the deficit, the “Azzurri” - like in Cortina - completely disappeared in the middle third. The guests from Russia increased to 3-0 and 4-0 (26th and 33rd respectively) through Makeyev before Gander was able to at least reduce the score to 1-4. But double packer Makeyev wasn't enough with his two goals and scored his personal hat-trick before the second third siren - 5:1. In the final period, when Cloutier came on as a substitute for Vallini, there were no more goals on either side. For Bernard and Co., the defeat means the third friendly defeat in the third game. With the test of strength against Vityaz, the second training camp for the Blue team with a view to qualifying for the Olympics in Oslo came to an end. Before the showdown for an Olympic ticket takes place in the Norwegian capital from September 1st to 4th, the “Azzurri” will prepare for the four-man tournament together one last time from August 27th. At the tournament in Oslo, the Italians will face Norway, France and Kazakhstan.
