A success on the eve desirable, having regard to the difference between Italian credentials (best ranking among the participants) and British in the third world group B. So there have been a abundant success, predictable and convincing, but not obvious at the start.
The 8-0 inflicted on opponents failed to satisfy fully the coach National, which has seen its a bit 'too nervous during his debut in the tournament in Turin. Perhaps this is the only one, albeit severe, neo appuntabile to sextet blue, but it is certainly to emphasize the domain of the blue team since the beginning of the first period with a partial opening of 2-0, the result of the networks Florian Planker and Gianluigi Rosa, who did enjoy the more than 500 spectators in the stands after 3:24 minutes of play.
Italy has also released its automatism and the second partial network puncturing the English goalkeeper Hackworth four times. Gregory Leperdi on the scoresheet at the beginning and at the end of the middle period with a shotgun, in the middle have moved the score Captain Andrea Chiarotti and Gianluca Cavaliere. Once acquired an important advantage, the Blues close the account in the last part with Valerio Corvino and Florian Planker. Just the Val Gardena is the best of the contest, thanks to two goals which adds an assist. Same numbers for one of the two favorites of the public in Turin, Gregory Leperdi. While the other home athlete, Andrea Chiarotti, was found mvp of the race.
Closing the file Great Britain, Italy is already focused on the next goal to get to the Paralympic Winter Games next March. To wait for the men of Da Rin, there will be the Japanese, silver at the 2010 Vancouver. A commitment definitely more difficult than the debut. In addition, the Japanese are in need of points to not get back on the list. Today, in fact, they were defeated 1-0 by South Korea in the Asian derby. In the third and final race at Palatazzoli, won the day for Sweden (2-1) on Germany, in what was the most balanced game of the round.
The ranking of the group sees as leading the Blues with 3 points, along with South Korea and Sweden, and Great Britain, Japan and Germany are still at zero. Sochi qualify for the first three of the grouping.
