Reichmuth defends himself against nasty insinuations: “That’s really complete nonsense!”

Pirmin Reichmuth (27) had to swallow several times in recent weeks due to speculation about his person. “Some people have said that I have forfeited a few times this season because I want to avoid the strongest opponents before the really big games. It’s complete nonsense.”

The Zugerland giant (198 cm/130 kg) explains why he only took part in two crown competitions this year (victory over the Obwaldner and Nidwaldner, 2nd place on the Zuger). «In recent months, regeneration has often been neglected due to the extra workload in one’s own company and family. And that’s why I recently had problems with my back.”

The outstanding 2019 Brünig winner was in particularly severe pain on the penultimate Friday before the planned guest appearance in the Seeländisches. “I got really bad lumbago during training. As a resident of Central Switzerland, I rarely get the chance to participate in the Bern region, so I really wanted to participate in Lyss. Especially since this was Christian Stucki’s farewell match. But in the end I had to admit that participating under these conditions would be too risky. »

It smells like two big comebacks at the NOS

In the meantime, the three-time Confederate has apparently recovered well. “I really liked Piri the last few practices,” says Reichmuth’s coach Tommy Herzog. So nothing stands in the way of a comeback this Sunday at the sub-association festival of Northeast Switzerland in Mollis.

There the Zuger will probably meet the Kirchberg champion Samuel Giger (25). Two weeks ago, the Thurgau had to cancel his participation in the St. Gallen cantonal due to a training injury. Based on his recent training impressions, Giger should be on the starting line in Glarnerland.
