Langnau storms the table: they have the tiger in the tank

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

Three games, three wins? Only the Lions from Zurich and Lausanne could bid this week. The Tigers from Emmental continued to gain respect with prestigious successes against the finalists Servette and Biel and have once again made it clear how optimally the technical staff and the team are aligned.

The victories followed a clear 3:6 in Lausanne (unbeatable by Lions) and underline the reward principle that characterizes this competition: anyone who consistently implements a good strategy can have a say, even with limited resources. Who cares -23 goal difference if you have the Tiger in the tank?

In-season domestic trading is currently popular in the league. What doesn’t fit is not custom made, it is sold. Maybe not a bad idea if it results in a win-win situation. However, win-win in sports feels like being brushed against the skin: where there is gain, there must also be loss.

The exchange between Bern and Servette on Friday morning (Julius “Willy” Honka to Geneva, Marco Maurer to SCB) was a complete failure in the short term: Servette suffered the next home defeat in the evening (this time against the SCL Tigers) and the SCB took in Davos share with a bang (0:7) on the long journey home in the snow. What comes next makes little sense: Servette loses in Zurich, but the ZSC Lions are currently beating everyone (because: Lions) and Bern is handling the Lakers because everyone but Mannheim is currently handling the Lakers.

Speaking of Rapperswil: In contrast to the other crisis club (Biel), the situation at Obersee is clear, it is like playing roulette when the ball is rolling: Rien ne va plus (in German: Nothing works anymore). Are you in the downward spiral and risk a serious loss of balance? Or do you pull the plug? 1:6 against Lugano, 1:4 against Fribourg, 0:4 in Bern. The bizarre discrepancy with the performances in the Champions League? Doesn’t make it any easier. The results in everyday affairs indicate a loss of trust between the coaching staff and the team, but the performance in the Champions League immediately refute this theory: the Lakers are among the eight best teams in Europe, but are only in second place in the last series. the domestic competition.

In Biel, meanwhile, the often-quoted perseverance slogan “We’re actually playing quite well” is being used. The danger is that you fool yourself. The facts: There are atmospheric disturbances between the current coach and his predecessor, which is an unusual situation for everyone involved. A solution? Almost impossible without a total rejection of the principle of empathy.

There are also fundamental questions about the contract situation of some players (Brunner, Forster) and the fundamental question of how to proceed next season (departure or withdrawal). Final question: Would you like to be in the shoes of sports director Martin Steinegger?
