Belarus premiere movie
Belarus played its first World Cup match this year on Friday, ending in a loss. Slovakia beat Belarus 5-2.
First show in Sweden
Like Belarus, Sweden also lost its World Cup debut. Denmark scored a historic victory when it beat Tre Kronor 4-3.
Goalkeeper change
Veteran 38-year-old Växjö goalkeeper Victor Vaste made Sweden goalkeeper at the World Cup premiere against Denmark. Fast conceded four goals, but despite the goals conceded, Fast made a reliable effort.
But in Sunday afternoon’s match against Belarus, KHL goalkeeper Adam Riedborn will be at the Swedish goal. Something is decided even before losing the first show.
We wanted both goalkeepers to have a match at the start of the tournament. Then we take it from there, says Tre Kronor National Team captain Johan Garpenlov.
Klingberg was hot on ice at the World Cup
Tre Kronor had a rough time at the World Cup premiere, but one player to like her is striker Karl Klingberg, who plays with Swiss League winners Zug on a daily basis.
Klingberg, who co-won the gold medal at the 2018 World Cup, scored twice for Sweden and assisted in the third.
No loss in the World Cup
Sweden met Belarus eight times in the World Cup and won all matches.
The last time the two teams met in a World Cup match was in 2018. At that time, Sweden won 5-0, but the majority of the World Cup matches between the two teams were much bigger in terms of goals.
However, a loss in the Olympics
Sweden’s loss in the Olympic quarter-final against Belarus in 2002 would be an eternal wound in the Swedish hockey spirit.
