Ice hockey goalkeeper Chiara Schultes imagined her national team debut to be completely different. The next top opponent awaits at the Germany Cup on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Chiara Schultes had imagined her national team debut to be completely different. The national ice hockey team lost 1:8 against Finland in the Germany Cup in Landshut, but there was still a lot of applause from the stands.
“We can learn a lot from the game,” said the 18-year-old from EV Regensburg. “We played better in the last third. That’s how we want to start tomorrow.” On Saturday (2.30 p.m./Magentasport) the Czech selection awaits the hosts at the end.
At least the German women scored a consolation goal through Theresa Wagner. “I was very happy because I was out for a long time,” said the 28-year-old striker from ERC Ingolstadt. 1,667 spectators celebrated the interim 1:7 like a narrow lead. “You don’t experience something like that every day,” said Wagner, already looking ahead: “It will be a different game on Saturday.”
17 hours after the defeat in Finland, the next strong opponent is waiting for the team of national coach Jeff MacLeod. The Czechs beat Finland 4-2 and had no trouble with Denmark 8-0. The World Cup third place team is playing against the DEB team for the women’s tournament victory in the Germany Cup, which is combined with the men’s for the first time. The German team is at least assured of third place ahead of the goalless and winless Danes. “That was our goal,” said DEB President Peter Merten.
