In the small town of Zug, everything was carefully prepared. Hours before the meeting, dozens of volunteers were busy, not even numb by the growing coldness that gripped Rotkreuz. Three specially fitted stands, a VIP tent erected, various stands and a joyous excitement: a Cup quarter-final, when you are in 1re League is something to celebrate. “It may only be for one match, but it’s beautiful,” slips Andy, who wears his yellow organizer vest everywhere. Pinned to the body, one divined in him as in the others the secret hope of an exploit as a reward. But Servette did not have a shared soul: the Garnet closed the case in the first period already, to afford the expected qualification in the semi-finals.
