I slutningen af april 2015 , er der U19 VM, det finder faktisk sted i Helsingborg, så kommer vi ikke meget tættere på dansk grund.
IFF, har just afsluttet kval til U19 VM, her er Danmark med, efter nedrykning fra A-gruppen, står den på B-gruppen i 2015.
De overståede kvalkampe, var til just B-gruppen.
Her måtte jeg høre lidt om det ukrainske hold, som tog den lange rejse til Spanien, hvor de deltog med et hold, bestående af 10 markspillere og 2 målmænd, så noget af en udfordring med 4 kampe på få dage!
Jeg har fulgt Ukraine lidt på afstand og snakket med dem i ny og næ, og det ser positivt ud dernede (udover det som sker just nu politisk), men floorball spiller faktisk blot 2×20 min, så 3×20 min, mod skrappere modstandere, det er hårdt.
Jeg fik en snak med deres træner Tamuz Hidir efter de to første kamp
1) You have lost two times and conceeded many goals, what was the aim for your team at WFC?
The aim was an still is to win the first game on international level. The goal did not change because we lost with many goals against the two best teams in the group. We are preparing very well to in order to win against Great Britain today.
2) How is it for the players to participate?
For the players is s lot of new information since they are forced to play more tactical in order to compensate for the advantages that more technical nations have. And this is new for the players but they are doing it very good. And we had good feeling after the first two games despite the score on the scoreboard.
3) What have been a succes for you at the WFC so far?
That all our 12 players feels that they belong to the team and are important plus that we managed to score 5 goals.
4) The future for floorball in Ukraine, how does it look?
We hade very good growth in Ukrainian floorball for many years now. This year of course the political and economical situation is affecting us. But despite this we managed to send 3 National Teams to IFF competitions that a progress in it selfs.
