Slovak hockey players are without a point after two matches at the Olympic tournament in Beijing. On Sunday at 5.10 CET, they can improve this balance in the fight with Latvia, but they must add in all activities.

Marek Ďaloga, who was missing in the line-up against the Finns and Swedes, has already completed Saturday’s pre-match training, but he will probably not intervene in the game even in the last match of the C-group.

During training, the experienced defender did not perform demanding exercises, he only tried to load the leg. Daloga suffered a muscle injury before the first match with Finland (2: 6). “I felt good, but I don’t know if I should play with it. I won’t play for sure tomorrow. I was on the ice, but I really don’t know. I just drove to know what it was like. I wanted to endure the whole training. I had three days of rest. We’ll see what it looks like tomorrow, “ he said after training.

Daloga also watched from the stand the match against Sweden, in which the Slovaks lost 1: 4. However, their performance was better than against “Suomi” and Ďaloga believes that his teammates will upgrade him: “Tomorrow is a new day and a new match and I believe we will succeed. We have to change something, we have also said something.”

Also forward was striker Marko Daňo, who could not interfere in the game against the Swedes because he was serving a penalty for a foul in the previous match: “I didn’t envision entering the tournament like this, it happened to me for the first time in my career. I apologized to the guys and the coach for what happened. We had a good training and we’ll see how the coaches decide whether to join or I will I will respect every decision. “

The implementation team will prepare some changes for the match with Latvia, they should also concern the composition of special teams for power games. “We said something to each other. We have already trained with some powerlifting changes, which worried us the most. I firmly believe that we will get together and start building from scratch what we need to get to victories. We need bounce and it is better to end up in a group with three points than with zero, ” said defender Martin Gernát.

Today, the Slovaks trained mainly in power play. There are changes in them. Slafovský and Takáč will be in the first power formation with Čerešňák, Hrivík, Cehlárik and Takáč. The latter will probably replace Jurča in the elite formation, who will go to Hudáček with Kelemen in the second attack.
