Today a real fear opponent is waiting for the Graz 99ers with Fehervar, because the Hungarians won all games last year.
“In the previous year they pulled our tooth every time. They didn’t change much, get a few new players. In principle, it is the same troop,” explains Coach Harry Lange before the new showdown to the “Kronen Zeitung”.
The trainer knows the strengths of the Hungarians: “With the puck you like to slow down the game in the neutral zone and then have good technicians.” But a recipe has already had a long time: “We have to get at speed, you must not double and not too much in the empty space.
After the 3: 4 after extension against Laibach, the coach is optimistic about the front: “We have to get more pucks behind the defense, bring consistency. And use our pressing better – this is guaranteed to be our trademark this season.”
