On Thursday evening it finally worked, Geneva-Servette is Swiss champion for the first time in club history. Tanner Richard (30), who has progressed to Geneva’s top scorer in the play-offs with 15 scorer points, also played a major role in this. He crowns his sixth year with Servette with the long-awaited championship title and shows himself emotionally after the game.
“Finally! For six years I’ve had to suffer and struggle. Our fans have been waiting for it for a long time and I’m just glad we could finally give it to them,” he told MySports after the game. The decisive game was mainly won in the head: “This game was only mental. Our team deserves a lot of credit because we are able to pick ourselves up and give everything after Tuesday’s defeat.” The early 1-0 was extremely important.
“It was all worth it for this moment”
It was not always easy for Geneva either: “It was extremely hard work. We have a core in the team that has been there for a long time, and we also went through it below. But it was all worth it for the moment.”
“What many people didn’t know is that we have much more heart than talent in the team. Now all of Switzerland knows about it,” says Richard proudly into the microphone and turns to the Geneva Jubilee grape. (byl)
