Ante Turmanen is very angry. Despite the big win on Saturday against the champion Zug. the reason? Injury goalkeeper Jorn van Putelberge. This is involved in a first-third collision of Zug striker Jerome Bachovner as he leaves the goal circle to clear a rebound. After the race was over, Van Puttelberge stood still, and the guard must finally be lifted off the ice on a stretcher. The referees punish the action with a penalty kick for 5 minutes. Without exceptions left.
“Only the dirty players do that.”
“A horrible mistake, which I find hard to understand,” Tormanen said. The fact that Bachovner is walking away without a residual exit infuriates Bale’s coach. “He doesn’t even look at the disc, he just looks for the check. I hope he gets ten match bans because only dirty players do.”
“…It is not the first time something like this has happened to you.”
And the 51-year-old goes even better: “I don’t know if these actions come from the coaches, because it’s not the first time something like this has happened to them.”
No more action by the league – EVZ stays quiet
Should EVZ coaches encourage their players to injure opponents? EVZ reacted quietly to the fierce accusation – despite Törmänen’s verbal errors right after the match. Head of Sports Rito Clay: “We are sorry that the goalkeeper injured himself in this act, but there was no ill intent. The goalkeeper leaves the goal fold and chases the disc, which results in a collision with a player who is also chasing the disc. There is nothing else to say about it” .
The league has already closed the case without taking further action. If Van Putelberghi is absent for a longer period of time, Dmitriy Sheikin is indeed a substitute. The Russian recently moved to Sealand as a cover and did well in his first two appearances. Damien Brunner may also be missing on Monday against Lugano. The 36-year-old once again felt his blow against Zug and was unable to finish the match. However, the striker says he should be fit in the (pre) qualifiers.
