Tre Kronor has had a dream start at the hockey WC.
Then the national team captain Sam Hallam takes the opportunity to mock one of his players in the nicest way.
– What do you tan for? Risigt!, says goal scorer Patrik Nemeth to Radiosporten.
The national team captain Sam Hallam makes his very first championship with Tre Kronor where both he and the team get a perfect start at the hockey WC. With two straight victories that gives plenty of confidence.
Swedish crush
Admittedly, it has been 1-0 against Germany and 5-0 against Austria, but it is still two straight games with clean sheets and it impresses. Therefore, you can understand that the atmosphere is also at its peak in the team.

Such a good mood that national team captain Hallam can take the opportunity to mock one of his players after the overrun. One of the scorers Patrick Nemeth had to endure the coach’s rude pass immediately after the match.

Hallam’s mockery
When the Tre Kronor defender scored a goal in the national team shirt, he was suddenly laughed at in the middle of the victory interview.
– What do you tan for? Ridiculous! What did you say?, Nemeth says to Hallam, who walks by and laughs at him.
– Ah, it’s fun when the head coach mocks someone like that…

Union captain Sam Hallam then explains his gesture afterwards and that he really had a twinkle in his eye.
– I actually think it was the first goal of the season for him. After 70-80 games away in North America or something like that. I feel that we have a pretty good atmosphere and with each passing day or match we get something more in common. And that will be important, it will probably be the most important part to get us where we want, he tells Radiosporten.
