Lausanne won against Langnau (4-1) during the “soft toy match” which delighted the children. Damien Riat was also smiling at the end of a game which he broke the deadlock by scoring 1-0.
“It’s nice to see so many children in this rink and all of them smiling. That’s what we have to remember this evening,” declared the number 9 of the LHC during the interview in the zone mixed, between two autographs to young Lions faithful. It was his goal which triggered a shower of stuffed toys which took many minutes to be collected. Long minutes are also what it took for Lausanne to really find their feet in a meeting that looked like a trap match.
“We entered the game a little slowly. There were a lot of turnovers, bad passes. We wanted to show a reaction in the second third,” explained Damien Riat. She did not intervene immediately, despite 2’44 of numerical superiority after returning from the locker room. “We continued to push after the missed opportunities and my goal had the effect of starting our match,” continued the author of the 1-0, who continues to pile up the points this season. He now has 19 points in 23 matches (7 goals, 12 assists).
“Not yet reached my full potential”
“I am still growing every year as a player, I am gaining experience, but I think I have not yet reached my full potential,” said the 27-year-old striker. “Points level is one thing, but being a complete player is not just about scoring goals and making assists. It’s about working towards the team, working on all aspects of the game. Like in box play where I feel that I continue to progress,” he added.
His team, with a five-point weekend after the victory in Friborg on Friday (3-2 ap), maintains the pace in the top three. “Every point is important. We are in the good part of the table, but we can lose 3-4 matches and find ourselves in the middle of the ranking” however recalled Damien Riat, fully focused on the upcoming events, starting with a trip in Biel on Tuesday.
