This third victory for Friborg in as many derbies against Geneva was a reminder that the Grenat are looking for themselves in the championship. And in Fribourg, Christoph Bertschy is soaring.
“It’s so…, there’s no other word, sorry.” Captain of the GSHC, Noah Rod apologizes for his harsh language. “We know that Friborg is a team that is doing well and that succeeds in everything, a bit like us last year,” continues number 96. “Tonight we are giving them too much, we are giving them too much space and that is unforgiving. against a team that is in good shape.”
To erase this 6-1, the Eagles have the chance to host the Dragons on Saturday evening in a back-to-back match not to be missed. “We have to put our foot down for tomorrow’s match,” asserts Noah Rod. “There’s not much to explain tonight, we weren’t in it. And it’s starting to get a lot of nights when we’re not in it. Only there’s not that much time left in the regular season. Maybe that sense of urgency was missing.”
Bertschy on his cloud
In the other locker room, it is the smiles that accompany the faces of Friborg still undefeated in 2024. Mottet, Wallmark, Sörensen, all are going through prosperous periods. And what about Christoph Bertschy?
When it was pointed out to him that he had scored 11 points (7 goals) in eight matches, the Fribourgeois was almost surprised. And humble. “Pff, I don’t count, he laughs. I always prepare in the same way to have consistency. When I don’t score or when I don’t make a point, I try to help the team differently. That’s what makes me the player I am. If we win 2-1 and I block a shot at the end, there’s no problem. When you lose, it’s really different.”
The fact remains that the Fribourgeois is finding that touch that he had during the 2020/21 season with Lausanne. He then scored 40 points (23 goals) in 51 games. He even had a streak of 9 points (7 goals) in eight matches in April just before the play-offs.
“It’s true that things are going well these last matches, he admits. Maybe the puck sticks a little better to the cane, maybe you squeeze the cane a little less. When things go well, you have this patience, but I can’t explain it any better than that. I’m in the zone, but I try to be in the zone all the time actually.”
