According to him, it was important for some strikers to score their first goals in the tournament.
“There are good things to be learned from this game.
We planned that this match could give us confidence.
Scored goals are an important element for every player.
This is a great positive.
Did you miss the second period?
May be.
But we didn’t realize a lot of chances - the puck hit the post, the goalkeeper rescued, and threw wide.
Gave the Austrians a taste for the game that they can play with us.
We focused on this before the third period, let the guys evaluate their game, improve some points - for example, what was lacking in the game with the Czech Republic, ”the press service of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation quotes Larionov.
The coach of the youth team noted that the next match with the Swedes, in which the fate of the first place in the group will be decided, will be of much greater importance.
Larionov stressed that all hockey players will be in good shape for this game.
“The match with Sweden is a key one in the group, it doesn't matter who was resting in front of him and who was not.
We had a good match today, nobody was overloaded.
We are calmly preparing for tomorrow, realizing that at the current stage it is a big game - for the first place in the group.
Let's be ready to play our best match.
We will try to be the first, and in the next couple of days of rest we will be well prepared for the quarterfinals, ”added Larionov.
The coach also commented on Yegor Chinakhov's injury, due to which he was unable to continue the meeting in the first period, appreciated Mikhail Abramov's debut at the World Championship and promised to return defender Daniil Chaika to the ice on Wednesday.
“I can't say anything about Chinakhov's condition.
We are waiting for more details ... what the doctors say.
I hope he will be able to play in the next match ... It was difficult for Abramov to enter the game.
This is the World Cup, you need to catch the rhythm of the game.
Apparently, he succeeded.
In the third period, these three scored good goals, they will play with the Swedes.
It's good when there are four links for important goals ... Why didn't Seagull play?
We gave him the opportunity to watch the game from above.
They let Roman Bychkov and Egor Shekhovtsov play.
Tomorrow Chaika will be in the squad and will play a big role in our team ”, - quotes Larionov“ Championship ”.
The captain of the Russian national team Vasily Podkolzin scored two goals, which were the first for him at the World Cup.
He commented on the unsuccessful second period of the match with the Austrians and assured that the team would be ready for the meeting with Sweden.
“I cannot say that I lost concentration in the second period.
Rather, they began to allow themselves liberties due to the fact that they kept in the account.
We need to clean up this, prepare for tomorrow's match.
There is little time for recovery, but it's okay, you need to have a good rest and prepare.
Will two pucks add confidence?
Let's hope, ”said the author of the double.

He also promised that in the match with the Swedish team, the hockey players will give all the best.
“We started very well, scored four goals.
In general, we controlled the game.
In the second period we got an own goal, and during the break the coaches pointed out our mistakes.
We got together and had a good third.
The coaching staff pays great attention to the majority in training.
As for my puck, I threw in from the blue one, the guys closed the goalkeeper and the puck went in.
I don’t know if we will have a rolling tomorrow, but in any case, we will come out ready and charged.
This is a game for the first place in the group, we will fight, "Knyazev noted.
Forward Arseniy Gritsyuk as a whole he positively assessed the results of the meeting.
“We started actively and tried to impose the game, we succeeded.
In the second period we were too confident in ourselves, the chances did not work out, and in the third period we were told to pull ourselves together, because we have to prepare for the Swedes, this is a more serious opponent.
This will be the first place match in the group.
Gave the Austrians the first goal in the tournament?
Let's see, analyze the error, draw conclusions ... We need to pay even more attention to the majority.
In future games, this will decide a lot.
Today Knyazev scored a good goal from the blue line, through the traffic in front of the goal.
We need to focus more on throws.
I think we will have the fuse after today's match.
We felt our game, scored goals, the coaches helped.
Tomorrow we will play in a good mood, ”Gritsyuk said.
Rodion Amirov scored the first goal of the Russians in the match with Austria, having realized the bullet.
The striker shared his opinion on the rearrangements in the first link.
“It was a homework ... Thank you very much to Egor Chinakhov for earning this free throw.
Thank God, we managed to implement it.
Psychologically, it was important to feel confident and score.
It's good that it turned out so well to play.
God grant that everything will continue the same way.
We are all focused on one goal ... Permutations are a workflow.
The coaching staff knows better, because it was necessary to give an impulse, our three did not score in the first matches.
It's good that we were connected today, we managed to abandon it.
This will give confidence in the next matches and, of course, in the playoffs, ”Amirov said.
The head of the youth team's headquarters, Roman Rotenberg, said that in the match with Austria, the Russians showed the work done in training.

The team was seriously preparing for the game, good work was done in terms of training, important details were worked out in terms of preparation for the playoffs.
The most important game is the next one in which the Russian team will play for the first place in the group.
In the game with the Austrians, we saw what the team was training, and this is a mirror image of the training process - as we train, we play.
The most important thing now is to recover for the match with the Swedes, ”TASS quotes Rotenberg.
