Riga - The German national ice hockey team will face Finland in the semi-finals of the Ice Hockey World Cup in Latvia *.

With the 3-2 victory after a penalty shootout against Switzerland in the back, the move into the final should now succeed.

It will be a special game for Söderholm from Finland, but this time he wants to spoil the party for his compatriots.

But this could turn out to be an extremely difficult task, two years ago Finland won the world championship title.

The national players want to counter the favored Scandinavians with self-confidence, even if the last German World Cup medal dates from 1953.

"In our dressing room it was never a question that we had a good chance," says defender Mo Seider, the DEB team "doesn't have to hide" and could play for medals in the next few years.

DEB sports director Christian Künast is also looking forward to the game with optimism: "Our path is not over yet, we are looking forward to the semi-finals and will see what will come of it in the end".
