“The disappointment is of course great,” summed up BundesYoung talent coach Christian Künast after the 0-3 defeat against Austria last Monday, “but nothing is lost yet, the task has just become more difficult.” And he is right. Today, after a day's break, the U20 national team faces Belarus, who were relegated from the top division last year and are favorites for promotion.
The Eastern Europeans have six points to their name so far. On the first matchday they clearly won 6-3 against newly promoted France and on Monday they turned the 2-1 deficit against Norway into a 4-2. The line around Belevich, Vasilchuk and Astankov, who, according to Künast, “made the difference,” played a significant role in this.
While the players had the morning off, the German coaching team used yesterday to analyze the two previous games and work on them together with the team in the afternoon. Among other things, small changes were made to the line-up, which will be used in the game against Belarus this evening. Before things get serious for the German team at 20.00 p.m., Kazakhstan and Austria will meet this afternoon at 13.00 p.m., and France and Norway will meet at 16.30:XNUMX p.m.
