The Germans took a break. Lavrov, taking the opportunity, shouted to the field players: "Guys, they are afraid of us." Probably Lavrov knew what he was shouting. Lavrov played in Germany - for Niederwürzbach and Nettelstedt, he learned German. By the time Lavrov shouted, ours were constantly leading 1-2 goals, but it was clear that the frightened Germans were not satisfied with this. The Germans increasingly went out with Lavrov one on one. And either they were really afraid of Lavrov, or they were not afraid, but they threw it as best they could (and they can), but Lavrov interfered.

He saved 21 shots out of 42. And four penalties (out of seven). No one else would have beaten back. But the Germans, who were so afraid, took it and won. With a terrible score of 21:15. Because they had a good goalkeeper, and they also threw. And Lavrov was abandoned by the field. It hurt to look at Lavrov. What a courageous and at the same time tactful person. He fought back - the field lost, he fought back - they lost, beat back - they lost. But he didn't say a word to them. Probably endured until the locker room.

PS Before the match, he said: “There is only one place on the podium. That's it," he smiled sadly. Now really everything.
