Comments.
Head coach of Finland team Lipponen Kimmo:
- In this game more than ever, we made many mistakes, including terrible mistake of goalkeeper. It led to the second goal. We went out to play, with a large advantage due to victory over Azerbaijan. It has allowed me to release on the experimental team structure. Maybe it was a cruel joke. More over I let on the field a little late Aspegren and Aaltonen who are the leaders of the team. Nevertheless, we came out of the group from the first place.
Head coach of St.Petersburg team Kazachenok Vladimir:
- Today's game was made entirely of mistakes! The one who makes fewer mistakes - wins. Of course, I am happy with the result. Comparing to the previous match I saw a desire to play in the eyes of my players. As I said at the last press-conference these guys have something to prove for themselves at first. If they do not in National team of Russia yet, play for saint-Petersburg and seize the chance to be noticed. All sportsmen are under 19, their career is about to begin.
