The ice hockey world championship in Switzerland continues today against the hosts. The ÖEHV selection also wants to present itself well against the medal favorites. With three wins in three games, they have certainly boosted their self-confidence.
At 4:20 p.m., red-white-red will face host Switzerland in the Swiss Life Arena in Zurich, which has a capacity of more than 10,000 spectators. The “Nati” is one of the favorites for the title and, like Austria, was able to win its first three games. A 3:1 over the USA was followed by a 4:2 over Latvia and a clear 6:1 success over Germany.
After staying in the league you can play without pressure
Of course, head coach Roger Bader’s team already has relegation in the bag, and now the focus is on the next goal – a place in the quarter-finals. Of course you are an outsider against Switzerland, but perhaps you can also surprise against the Swiss: “I expect a defensive battle on our part. But who says that we can’t score one or two goals at the front and the same thing will happen as against Latvia,” said Benjamin Nissner to the “Crown newspaper“.
The team boss says Switzerland is an “absolute top favorite”, and Austria could also be feeling something in the last few days: “It’s the fourth game in five days, we’ll feel it. But we don’t want to be led to the slaughter like the Germans.”
David Kickert is in the box
After Atte Tolvanen delivered an outstanding performance against Latvia, David Kickert is preferred today. His teammate Peter Schneider before the duel with the Swiss: “They will come full force, we have to counter them.” In any case, Austria has nothing to lose: “We will try the best, let’s see what comes out,” said Vinzenz Rohrer, for whom the World Cup in Zurich is almost like a “homecoming”, as the Vorarlberger has been on the ice for the Lions from Lake Zurich for the last three years.
