All the microphones were obviously stretched towards Andres Ambühl, at the end of Czechia-Switzerland (2-4). The 39-year-old Grison, as usual, was however embarrassed to attract the attention of journalists. Even on this historic day, the HC Davos striker did not want to pull the cover to him.
ANDRES AMBÜHL (striker from Switzerland): My record? It’s beautiful and very special, it’s something unusual. But the most important thing tonight is the 3 points. And may we be successful. I received 2 superb passes, that’s what allowed me to score 2 goals. The supporters who chanted my name? It touched me, I really enjoyed it. They came en masse to support us in Latvia.
ENZO CORVI (Switzerland forward): Ambühl gives his all in every game, he’s a real leader on the ice. He is a little more discreet outside, but I find that positive. He proved again tonight what kind of player he is. What I told him in the locker room after the win over Canada? I simply congratulated him on his exploits.
It’s an advantage to be able to play our quarter in Riga
ROMAIN LOEFFEL (Switzerland defender): I like my role in this team. I have the chance to play power-play with NHL stars: Kevin Fiala, Nino Niederreiter and Nico Hischier. I have to savor those moments. But I don’t think about it during the game. I don’t know if you can say that I’m in the shape of my life, but I feel really comfortable. However, it’s not just the offensive aspect that counts, I also have to be careful in defence. However, the coaches know that this is not my strong point. I have other assets in my bag, I try to be as aggressive as possible. And so far, it’s not going so badly.
MICHAEL OUT (Switzerland defender): It was an intense game, perhaps the most difficult in this World Cup so far. We played our best hockey, playing in a compact way. It is certainly an advantage to be able to play our quarter-final in Riga.
From Riga, Michaël Taillard
