Sakari Manninen is a man of great goals. At the World Championships, he won gold for Finland with his overtime goal, which was created by overpowering the Canadian network.

When looking for a solver for important matches, join your team Sakari Manninen. There is a real man of big games marinated in the Pike Ahmos.
In the spring 2019 World Championships, Manninen immersed himself in the extra time in Sweden with his extra time goal. At the February Olympics, a 30-year-old striker was knocked out of Slovakia in the semi-finals.
And when the place was at its toughest against Canada in Sunday’s final, Mr. Sakari Manninen was again the decider. And of course again in overtime.
Mann was asked to describe Sport Jussi Saarinen in the interview, the World Cup final overtime goal. The paint came straight in the heat Mikael Granlundin from the feed.
– Mikael is a very good feeder, Miro (Heiskanen) good to move in and “Härski” (Teemu Hartikainen) with paint, it has good compositions. “Mikke” got along well from it and was threatened with a shot, of course then opened the line for me. There was a fairway from which I could shoot, I just tried to hit the puck, it hit well.
– Always the gold medal from the World Championships is an amazing achievement, then as a specialty these home competitions and all the jumps. Overtime and everything went according to the tastiest possible, Manninen glowed.
Manninen was asked if it was good to solve the World Cup gold by playing three against three.
– Yeah … it’s probably been said to be done by playing that goal. If you continued with five against five, you don’t know how long it would take. A harsh way, of course, but good that comes with playing and not going for “commas”.
The three-on-three overtime also spoke a year ago, when Finland lost to Canada in the World Cup final. Even then, the solution was sought in an extension.
The world championship is second to Manninen. Olympic gold can also be found on his merit list.
Manninen was a key figure in the spring world championship team. He was the best scorer in Finland and 6 + 4 on the internal points exchange.
