Slovakia Coach: It´s really hard to assess the game. We were in a bad frame of mind after the early goal, and maybe that was the key moment of the whole game. The Czechs were in good shape, we were a little bit tired after the previous match with Great Britain. It´s likely that high temperatures were also one of the factors that didn´t help us.
Czech Republic Coach: I really appreciate our performance. We put forth a fantastic effort and played with passion. We accomplished our biggest goal at this tournament – advancing to the final of the U20 category. And for sure, we really want to win the gold medal! The federal derby usually has really tough and even games and this one wasn´t an exception. The early goal helped us considerably, so after that we were better in all facets.
