30 goals in five games. The EVZ crowns its winning streak with a goal festival. Twelve different goalscorers are responsible for this. Lino Martschini is top with six goals, ahead of Fabrice Herzog and Marc Michaelis with four goals each.

How does Captain Jan Kovar explain these offensive fireworks? “We found each other,” says the Czech, “but at the same time we know it won’t last forever.” He was happy with the strength of all four lines. “Simion played in the fourth attack and for me he is one of the best players in the National League,” Kovar said after the 5-2 win against Biel.

Kovar also wants to get under his skin

And himself? The 33-year-old contributed one goal to the 30 goals. Even though Kovar is not in this spotlight, he still plays a hugely important role that deserves recognition. The national striker is constantly teased by his opponents; In the match against Biel, three Zeelanders, Tino Kessler, Robin Grossmann and Beat Forster, targeted the EVZ captain and tried to get on his nerves.

“It’s part of the game,” he waves, grinning. He is not bothered by the bruises he sustains after intensive competitions. On the contrary, they almost make him proud. Because it shows him that the opponents consider him so important and therefore want to take him out of the game. He also likes to get under their skin.

Whoever hunts a bear…

EVZ coach Dan Tangnes can only nod. The Norwegian is now Kovar’s coach in his fifth season and knows him very well. “Jan is a fighter, he needs that to play very well.” Anyone who hunts a bear should be prepared for the fact that it can be dangerous if it comes to a duel. He also attests that his top center has the ability to make any of his teammates better.

In addition to Kovar’s robustness and game overview, the EVZ coach also emphasizes his human qualities. “He holds his teammates accountable and holds himself accountable to the high standard we strive for.” The captain is one of those players who have helped build Zug’s winning mentality. “It makes me proud and lifts us out of a lot of low points,” Tangnes said. Such praise almost makes Kovar uncomfortable. He puts it simply: “I like being difficult, but I also like scoring goals.”
