When a club and a service provider separate, there is at least one point in the contract that they disagree with: the amount of the salary or the length of the contract. In rare cases, ideas diverge so much that no common denominator can be found.
This is apparently now the case between EV Zug and his captain Raphael Diaz. According to informants from western Switzerland, the EVZ wanted to move out for a maximum of three years, but Diaz wanted to stay with the EVZ for another four years. Diaz will celebrate his 35th birthday on January 9, 2021. A four-year contract for a 35-year-old, that can be a risk, even if Diaz has not yet shown signs of rust.
HC Friborg-Gottéron, which obviously has no financial constraints, has entered the gap. In Saanestadt, Díaz will receive the desired 4-year contract.
Díaz catapulted Zug to the elite of the National League
Díaz returned to Central Switzerland from North America in the summer of 2016. EVZ is his regular and youth club.
The return of the defender, who is above average at all levels, after five seasons and more than 200 NHL games abroad, catapults the EVZ to the elite of the National League in one fell swoop. Diaz assumes the position of captain of the team after one season, EVZ reaches the final series twice, but always draws the glass against SC Bern.
Diaz has scored at least 30 scorer points each season after his return so far. Amazing values for a defender who does not consider himself a pure offensive defender.
