- It was a tough first period, they came out hard and we weren't ready enough, says Leo Carlsson.

- We come out a little like we usually do this tournament, but we work our way into it, says Victor Stjernborg.

Sweden's introductions to the matches in this year's JVM tournament have left more to be desired.

Even against Finland, it was a weak start where the opponents took an early lead.

Magnus Hävelid, the national team captain for the Junior crowns, is on the same track.

Something must be done.

- There are always details that we need to work on further.

But generally;

the intensity, how we start the match, we have to have a proper talk about that with the whole group.

If it was tension or if it was us leaders who didn't say anything good, he says.

- We have to come out much harder.

Otherwise the game will suffer.

Despite the weak start, he is satisfied with how the team responded.

- We were far too stagnant, I don't know if they were taken by the seriousness of the moment.

As a coach, you are happy about the response, that we were able to react.

Sweden won the quarter-final against Finland 3-2.
