Johansson of pure dynamite. Hat trick for Henri
Blast 2772 king series player Henri Johansson was dominating agains Sweden.
Finland´s 9-2 win is the biggest victory ever for Finland against Sweden.
Henri Johansson, who replaced the injured Juha Kivilehto in the Finnish team played a great tournament and proved his effectiveness by scoring three goals against Sweden. Johansson showed that he can perform under pressure, but if that is enough for a place in the WFC team, is yet to be seen.
- This was my best national team match ever but the competition for a place in the WFC team is tough. The coaches have a positive problem when choosing the final roster, Johansson told in the post game press conference.
- Johansson is a talented player as all the players that have been involved in the project. We are now down to 30 guys since summer and now the speculations will start until the final team is published on Friday the 12th, the Finnish head coach, Petteri Nykky, explained.
For Kim Nilsson, who was elected as Sweden´s best player, this was the first loss ever against Finland:
- We knew what needed from us against Finland, but they got a good start to the match as the score was 3-0 after the first 20 minutes. They could utilize their opportunities and the upward slope got too high for us, Nilsson told after the match.
The Swedish head coach, Kent Göransson, was not satisfied with his team´s game:
- We were not good enough today but the WFC is a process. We missed some players and it is important to have the best players in the team. Maybe our goalie was not good enough today eiher and we must do our best to have our goalies play their best in December.
