Tense mood after bankruptcy: HCD Swede Bristedt makes no excuses

You cannot undo the performance in the middle third, “we missed it,” says Leon Bristedt (29). HCD conceded three goals every two minutes. “We weren’t aggressive enough,” explains the Davos striker. The Swede doesn’t think it’s worth mentioning that his two goals at least contributed something to the cosmetic result. “It’s not about individual players now.”

The sting after this 2:5 is too deep. The mood is tense at the entrance to the Graubünden hut. The staffing is meagre, three foreigners are missing: Kristian Näkyvä (injured) and the two ailing Swedes Joakim Nordström and Dennis Rasmussen. And after checking Lausanne’s captain Michael Raffl, HCD top scorer Valentin Nussbaumer also dropped out (47th minute).

Hoping for returnees

Are the constant pressures of French-speaking Switzerland and the long list of absences slowly taking their toll on your mental substance? “You can always make excuses,” says Bristedt. “But the bottom line is that you have to be able to perform under the given circumstances. We didn’t do that.” Above all, the easily missed opportunities to score are a thorn in the side of the 29-year-old.

Thanks to the two-day break until the showdown in Lausanne, he hopes for the return of ailing players. “We are a strong team and we will be ready. “You will see a different team in Lausanne,” promises Bristedt, who was not only in the spotlight as a double goal scorer. In the 45th minute he caught LHC striker Benjamin Bougro, who then had to be escorted to the dressing room, with a check. “The collision was unfortunate,” says Bristedt. “He ran into me.”
