Tre Kronor is under pressure, and risks missing the quarter-finals after the two initial losses against Denmark and Belarus.
And it will not be easier tonight when hitherto undefeated Switzerland faces the opposition.
- It is required that we make our best match in the tournament.
We meet a very good team.
They play fast.
Has good forwards and works hard.
We have to face these things as they do and do it at least as well or better, says Johan Garpenlöv to SVT Sport.
And how should Tre Kronor make its best match in the tournament?
- We do not see any major problems with the game idea itself.
It's more about the execution.
We have to get inside, have players in front of goal and win close matches.
These are the kind of signals we have sent to the boys, says Johan Garpenlöv.
However, time is short to break the negative trend.
- We try to look for chemistry in the chains, the back pair and powerplay.
We do not have much training to work with.
It's about putting people together and feeling secure.
I still think we are getting better every day.
In the first match we were not good.
We made a good match against Belarus, but the puck did not want to enter, he continues.
The match against Switzerland is broadcast live on SVT starting on SVT2 and Play 19.15.
