Jarno vaktar finska kassen i helgen

Jarno Ihme kom till Sirius inför den här säsongen och han har spelat med det finska landslaget i närmare 12 år. Nu i helgen är det dags igen när Euro Floorball Tour spelas i Växjö. Vi passade på att ställa några frågor och den här gången blev det frågor på svenska och svar på engelska.

I helgen är du uttagen för att spela med det finska landslaget i Euro Floorball Tour i Växjö – vad är dina tankar inför den turneringen?

I have good feelings. It is really nice to play for your country. It is the last chance for us to practise our game before VM and also a chance to see what the other teams are doing. I have been with our national team for almost 12 years. I am going to play hard, try to show my best and enjoy the situation.

Har du fått nya insikter om de svenska spelarna som du kan dela med dig av till dina finska lagkamrater?

I have of course learned a lot about Swedish floorball while I have been playing with Sirius and I know the Swedish players a little bit better. I think however that our team and our coaches know Sweden very well and I do not think I can bring information that we do not already know.

Vem i det finska landslaget kommer du bäst överens med?

There are many good friends. It is nice that Jari Hankkio from my old club (SPV) is now making his debut in the national team. It is also always nice to see the other goalies (Kosonen, Toriseva and Toivoniemi). I get along quite well with our physiotherapist as well. There are so many good guys.

Du kom till Sirius och SSL från finska ligan inför den här säsongen. Hur har det varit?

It has been really fun. I’m enjoying every practise and game and the time I spend with the team. There is a really good atmosphere in our team and boys are working hard. We started our games well but in the last couple of games we not reached our potential. I believe that we will get better again and that we will take more points in the future. We have the chance to win every game in SSL if we can follow our game plan and do our best. We need to continue enjoying our daily basics, work hard and believe in our game

Vad är den största skillnaden mellan den finska och svenska ligan?

In Finland game is more ”coast to coast”. We have a different pace here in Sweden and there are different skills among the players. SSL has more good teams and every team can win every game. In Finland there are five really good teams but the difference between the best teams and worst is bigger in Finland

Tycker du själv att du har utvecklats som målvakt under tiden i Sirius?

I think and hope so. The new environment has given me a new boost to my floorball career. Every game is a new experience to me. I hope I can get more stable and win more games. I want to get better every day.
