Hockey and distinction of entities

In general, everything is already good: in two to three hours after the final Russia against Canada, the leadership of the national team and sports of the Russian Federation as a whole calmed down and came to the conclusion that the second place was also good. Only specially oriented citizens recall the geopolitical side of the case.

Actually, the problem with sadness about 1: 6 in the final is simply resolved. One simple point: if at 1/4 Russia would not be released on Fins, but to Canada, then what would it be? Presumably, I would also lose. Question: Would this option be more pleasant for fans? Yes, it is unlikely. That's all. In general, for the 24-year-old Russian national team in the World Cup there used to be 5 first places and 3 second ones. Is it really trouble?

The game is stated online , the morning has come, everyone calmed down, so we must fix this with reasoning about what is needed, all the same, to share different stories. Because the sport is. Here, Bavaria lost 0: 3 in the first semifinals of Barcelona and what ceased to be great? She even won the return match. Or Brazil - Germany 1: 7 (also to football) and even at the World Cup. Yes, even at home for Brazilians. In the city of Belu-Orizonti. In the semifinals. And what? Life. And suffering is normal. How not to load if you lost? A normal thing, for that, we need it - won - rejoice, lost - sad. It is only better to immediately load seriously in order to close the topic, and not extend it to everything.

Russian national team players after the final match with Canadians

In general, the reaction was normal and human. The coach of the Znarok : "Well done, they gathered, showed character and reached the final. We defeated the Swedes and Americans, went to the final, where we did not have enough. We would have been scored one or two pucks, everything would be different. In the third period, we beat to the end for the sake of the fans."

The ex-head coach of the national team V. Bykov : “Firstly, despite the final score, the match was very tense. If the game went to the goal with the Americans, ours were the first to score, caught the courage and broke the opponent, then everything happened exactly the opposite in the final. If ours were the first to be the first, most likely, the score would be like that, only in our favor.”

President of the FCR V. Tretyak : “Everyone wants the first place, and we want, but today it didn’t work out. 1: 6 - this is a lot. I think now the coaches will draw conclusions for the future. We had chances in the final if we immediately scored when Ovechkin and Mozyakin had. As a result, we received two stupid goals.”

That is, here the topic of what could be different, but something completely undeservedly went wrong. But in the same blitz interview, Znarok already made generalizing conclusions: “It is always unpleasant to lose. A little strength was not enough for us. Silver is also a medal. After the match, I congratulated the guys on the medal ... We have a very young defense, this also turned out to be a problem. Canadians always play one system. How to solve problems? We need players, we need to pay attention to children's hockey. "Yes, and justified more than systematically :" We generally have a very young defense, as you know. 1990, 1991, 1992, born in 1994 ... Of the six defenders, we have five from 1990. They gained invaluable experience at this world championship ... The locker room was like a infirmary. A lot of injuries. The children were injured. They went out, beat. We had only six defenders. Nowhere to go. "

Yes, in fact, what the topic is to certainly win something, and if not, then the AP wall is killed. If such a logic dominated, then how would every next championship take place? Yes, and no one is preparing for the World Cup on purpose, they come, who arrived. Russian exhausts in ahemist in ahemist, in the NHL conferences of conferences are only played. And the United States generally had a semi-young composition-many of the universities, and D. Aikel, striker from Boston University , even requested the university to pass annual exams remotely and planned to do this between games. This is all to the fact that there is no need to produce tragedies here, and even more so, geopolitics (a little later there will be an example).

Well, later the prospects have become visible. V. Tretyak spoke about the World Cup: “The World Cup will be in September, not all hockey players will be in shape yet. I am very highly appreciated. Of course, this is a very strong tournament of professionals, high quality. We will go there with high tasks. We have become champions of the world, this year - silver. We are stable for so much time. We have problems, but, sorry, there are a result. Do you want the result, you don’t want the Swedes at all. The strongest team was, Czechs too, generally played at home. "

He managed to say that "there are no questions to the coaching staff after the defeat in the final of the World Cup. I congratulated everyone, the Minister of Sports Congratulated everyone on silver. They gave a good rating, no one will throw the stone in the garden. Silver is normal. There is no need to live Soviet times, when only gold was recognized. Do not forget that we have no hockey players who could not play in the Czech Republic, although, at least, at least, at least, at least, at least, at least, at least. Of course, there are more in Canada. "

And the minister actually congratulated. According to V. Mutko, the national team successfully spoke at the World Cup, "the team played in the final of the World Cup. In general, this is a successful performance. Of course, I would like the final to be a little different, but the Canadian team looked very strong today, defeated us with dignity."

Canadian team

Of course, their words are then given that the prospect is visible, moreover, such reasoning the authorities always calm down on their own. Purely due to rhythm, at least. But it is possible from the nasty, as if even a shock method of exacerbation of sadness - so that it is aggravated, acutely experienced, well, hesitation. Here's how Athlet.ru : "The Russian team completed the world hockey championship, having received a sonorous slap in Canada." Well, fine, I received it and got it - it is. Everyone gets, Bem-Bemz. Received - stated - forgot. The day before they wrote that they broke the Americans like a tuzik a heating pad, and the other way around.

Even the same method, the wedge of the wedge: “ The 13 most high -profile defeats of Russian hockey”: “The Znark team shocked everyone with a devastating defeat from Canadians, and Sports.ru recalled all similar cases in Russian history.” Well, they still understand that if this is a story, then it is a) ended, but b) will continue. In a good way. Well, yes, such a stylistics, all this happens then to worry, and then, if desired, to go into the reasoning how and why it happened. But it would be better to do this without symbolism, like S. Markov (political scientist) in his FB .

Is it real who needs all these wrappers? And then it turns out that after the game the team somehow does not bother to listen to the Canadian anthem, having left the site . Moreover, obviously not according to plan and not in the format of protest, but somehow it turned out ... they had overflowed. Well, symmetrically : "The Russian Hockey team, which returned from the World Cup in the Czech Republic, did not meet a single fan in the capital's airport.

Well, why all this? Moreover, the prospects have already been named absolutely specifically : “Today they have become known as the participants of the World Cup in Russia in 2016 (2nd place in the IIHF rating) entered group B, where it will meet with Sweden (3), Switzerland (7), Norway (11), Denmark (15) and Kazakhstani and Kazakhstani and Kazakhstani and Kazakhstani and Kazakhstani will be distributed. (17) ".

However, it can begin again - how can you not win the World Cup at home? But the Czechs are now fourth, so what? Sport is sport.
