With Bilyk out, Austria are showing two characteristics: playing faster, and having offensive solutions, while using the 3-2-1 zone in the defense, and that looks awful. Not surprising because they rarely used that zone before, now they have to because they don't have players tall enough to fit the 6-0, nor the top pivot for 5-1. The Russians took advantage of that in a match they kept trying to slow down, and scored 35 goals. Austria added 32, so 67 total. Today, the Team 94 will face Turkey who came rejuvenated. They showed a fast rhythm against Slovakia yesterday, and also showed their offense is much better than their defense, where these young guys simply aren't strong enough to stop the opponents. Slovakia, known for playing quite slowly compared to other teams from this generation, scored 22 in the first part, and 16 goals in the second. The offensively stronger Austrians should reach those numbers, or even go over it for a few goals. All Turkey can do is finish the job because, with what they showed yesterday, they don't have problems scoring 20 goals at all.
