Pixbo won’t repeat its last year supremacy at the Fortuna Czech Open. It lost to Dalen 3:0 in purely Swedish quarterfinals and said googbye to the tournament. It was as you would suddenly find youselves in the sports hall at the match of Swedish league. On the court two teams from Elitserien, in addition also the Swedish refrees and all was confirmed by the typical aggressive floorball show. Everthing was almost as in the Scandinavia. The only one that managed to achive in the tough duel was a team of Dalen. Dalen entered the match with thoroughful defense, didn’t allow any significant mistake and scored threetimes into the Joakim Ågren’s shrine. „A match cost us lots of hard work. We were winning in the personal duels and it decided. We knew that this our weakness and so we focused on it. Due to it we were keeping a ball much more and that might take Pixbo by surprise. They are used to be always at a ball and now we possessed it more,“ said a Swiss forward of Dalen, Mathias Hofbauer after the match. „Dalen defended much better and didn’t allow us into any chances. That’s it. We might be better in the second period, but we didn’t manage to achieve at all and Dalen had a great tactic during the whole match,“ thought a pilot of Pixbo, Anders Jonsson. „I feel great. I wanted very much to play in the ice-hockey T-Mobile Arena and it turned out well. It is fantastic that we are always a part of the tournament,“ added Mathias Hofbauer. Dalen will meet in the evening in the semifinals with the winner of the match SSK Future – Tapanilan Erä. |
