“It’s not my best season”: Nati and HCD striker Corvi assess his performance

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

Eight matches within the 15 days before Christmas. A tough programme. Too steep – that’s why Enzo Corvi, before going to the Swiss ice hockey games in Zurich together, made it clear whether his appearances for the national team could be arranged. “As long as everyone stays fit, I will get some rest on Sunday,” the thirty-year-old said after the 4-2 defeat against the Swedes.

Even if he can miss the game against Finland, it is still seven games in two weeks. Corvi shrugs. “I prefer competitions to training. The week in Davos would not have been a holiday camp either.” The HCD training courses are intensive. However, with the national team, the center gets more competition practice. He still runs after her and his performance.

“Admittedly, it is not my best season,” said Corvi. He is still feeling the effects of a hernia after the World Cup in Riga, which cost him almost all of his summer training. The focus was on building up his back, “the legs were neglected, I still notice that.” It lacks a bit of liveliness – just like the consistency of the HCD.

Inconsistency within the club is a mystery

When it comes to the tight schedule, players and coaches often note that it is not primarily the physical strain that is the problem, but the mental one. Corvi doesn’t want to overstate this, but says that “the constant ups and downs with the HCD do something mentally.” You constantly think about what you could do better. “I really don’t know where this inconsistency comes from for us,” said Corvi, who has not scored a goal in the last 13 league games. The change in atmosphere within the national team is good for him.

After the national team tournament, there are three more NL games next week before the team from Davos has two days off at Christmas before the start of the Spengler Cup week.
