Arno Del Curto, what was your impression?
It was actually a good first-third of us. We had the Puck 70, 80 percent of the time in your Zone. But we had no proper goal-scoring opportunity and the two of you. In the middle third, I was surprised, because we lost the head a bit. It was too wild. In the last third it was better. And then we had two, three opportunities. But for the effort that we operated, we had too few chances. It is the element of Surprise is missing.

you also Saw good things?
The commitment appealed to me. And that they tried to do in the final third for a while, to play with Tempo. Two, three lines made the most excellent. Defensively, it was fine. What I liked: that we found the Balance between defensive control and power game. Either one way or the other. We need to learn.

what was it Like to coach after three days of Training the ZSC?
I thought it’ll be difficult for me. But eventually I realized: I can feel the player. I just couldn’t talk about it much, because I was hoarse.

Why are you hoarse?
I’ve talked a lot in the last few days. From the Morning until the evening. At some point, the voice failed.

Have you raged in the cabin?
no. The commitment was there. The train is missing on the goal. We need to change. The Tempo and moments of Surprise. But we had, after all, a lot of game shares.

What to expect in the Rematch in the indoor stadium?
the player make the next step. You shoot the goals, more Surprise inside and on the Powerplay better. But you can’t change in three days so much.

How was the feeling after 54 days in the gang?
What should I say? I was quiet inside. Because I believe that this team can still move a lot, a lot. (Interview: sg.)
