The fault of direct competitors (Langnau, Ambri and Lugano) who do not give up and who, too, are fighting to avoid a play-out of all dangers against the red lantern (Ajoie) in a few weeks. “We can only count on ourselves,” warns defender Joël Genazzi (34), taking Langnau (12^e), which the LHC seeks to overtake by all means, “surprise” winner both against Fribourg-Gottéron and in Biel last week.
