In the test games, U20 national coach Tobias Abstreiter wants to prepare the team for the challenges of the World Cup and anchor the game system in the players' minds.
Tobias Abstreiter, U20 national coach “We arrived safely in Edmonton and, after two days of quarantine in the hotel rooms, we were motivated to give full throttle for the World Cup. The test matches against Russia and Switzerland are good benchmarks for us as to where we stand.”
