“I don’t need to feed on the past”

The Servettiens have to work hard before they can beat goalkeeper Leonardo Genoni van Zug in the first semi-final. The Lakers are also desperate for the championship goalie in the quarterfinals – like so many opponents before them. Because: the goalkeeper has not lost a single playoff series since 2018! When he did this five years ago, he was still wearing the SCB dress. Genoni’s conqueror then: the ZSC with a 4:2 in the semi-final series.

When asked about this, Genoni shook his head. “Unbelievable, I didn’t have that gift.” The 35-year-old immediately puts the strong statistics into perspective: “I have always played in good teams and I have benefited from that.” Does this knowledge of the years of undefeated play-offs give more certainty for these play-offs after the fairly volatile regular season?

Genoni raises an eyebrow. “I am mainly accused of not being at my best until the play-offs. This came up in some season analyses. But no, I know what I can do and I don’t have to feed on the past.”

“Nothing Can Unravel Me”

Nothing deters the seven-time champion. Not that he’s ever had to wait so long with a team for playoff qualification to head for the targeted title hat-trick in the towel. EVZ just took 6th place in the final round of the championship. “Nothing can faze me anymore. I’ve seen almost everything.”

Almost? “I’ve never scored a goal.” If he succeeded, he would donate 1,000 francs to a foundation. As he did last time, when his professional colleague Robert Mayer, whom he now meets in the semi-finals, scored against Lugano.
