Fetisov advised the Russian national team players to endure and believe in themselves in the game against Croatia
Croatia needs to be patient and believe in itself. Such advice to the team was given by the two-time Olympic ice hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov, whose words are quoted by Championship.com.
In his opinion, psychology will play a decisive role in the game. Here, according to Fetisov, the advantage will be on the side of the Russians. “This time they [Croats] are better in all respects: selection of players, rating, and even playing at home,” the hockey player added.
At the same time, Fetisov said that the Russians have a chance of a successful outcome. For this, according to the hockey player, the players must fight for every ball.
The meeting of the Russian national team with Croatia will be held on Sunday, November 14. To reach the final of the 2022 World Cup, Valery Karpin's team needs not to lose.
