Johan Garpenlöv makes his first world championship as the national team captain for Tre Kronor and so far it has been a failure.
Now you have to win three straight games to have the opportunity to even get to the playoffs.
- I put on a lot.
I am extremely responsible.
We win as a team and lose as a team.
I take on a lot of course.
We work the same now as during the season so there is no difference, but we have not received the results.
I understand that you are questioned, he says but also adds that he feels the players' confidence.
Sweden is now also dependent on favorable results in other matches.
- Of course you would rather have had fate in your own hands.
What we can do is focus on one match at a time, win and move on.
Considering how many bangs there have been during the World Cup in Riga, Garpenlöv has respect for today's opponent, Great Britain.
- In this World Cup, small nations have defeated large nations.
Is Britain better than us on paper?
No.
But we have to get the stuff together on the ice.
