Pardubice defender Košťálek shoots the most in the direction of the goal. He has earned a place on the power forward, so he is not lazy, even though his attempt often does not reach the goalkeeper. Against the Kazakhs, he increased to 4:1. “I needed three shots to score in that power play, but luckily it fell there the third time and I’m glad for that,” he said after the game.
His teammate Zbořil, who also scored his first goal at the World Championships, praised his shooting with amusement. “I asked Kozy (Košťálek) what the Kazakhs had done to him, that he was sniping at them like a sniper. He was killing one Kazakh after another,” laughed the Boston guard.
Zboril also inculcates more frequent shooting. “When dad inoculates you all the time, so that you shoot and don’t look for anything, I took it to heart. I burn it there, or at least I try to,” Zbořil said.
Before, he was reluctant and looked for other options. “I’m like that, I want to embellish something more. My first choice is not a shot, but I’m always still looking at who I could play it to,” described the man from the third defense, in which he is together with the more defensive Michal Jordán.
Kubalík also erased the zero, who in the first match successfully made two assists for the goal. “I’m glad that it went down there, but overall we had enough reinforcements that work, as we somehow told ourselves and drew. I’m glad that our formation and Červusov are stepping, of course it’s good for confidence, we have a lot of shots, ” said the forward from Detroit.
He could have added another shot, but he was not mature enough to beat Andrej Šutov from the free kick. “It was said that I was going. I was surprised because I expected that Červus would go. I had a plan, I managed to spread the goalkeeper a little, but I didn’t put it where I needed. I was sorry. They were a little horse and then scored a goal,” Kubalík added.
For now, all three are sticking to the fact that it’s a shame not to use every shooting position and they wish to take advantage of these chances at least as they did in the match against Kazakhstan.
