COACHES´ REACTIONS
Vít Čapek (CZE): "I think that every game should be played to the fullest, there was nothing to save energy for. We are satisfied with the result, but we have two injured players, which saddens me greatly. I hope that in the bronze medal match against the Slovaks it will be better than in the group stage. We have something to repay them for and we definitely want to win the bronze medal."
Callum Wilson (GBR): "We started
well, we wanted to try and get at them as much as we could and disrupt them,
and we did that. We know that they absolutely love to score from the backdoor,
so we tried our best to stop that where we could. But they’re a very good team,
so they were still able to do that at times. Our aggressive play cost us a bit too
many penalties, so we have to try and find the right balance of aggression
without taking penalties which is something we’ll look to do going forward.”
