With the result with which the “old” FCZ lost at Pontaise in early October, the “new” FCZ Lausanne-Sport beat on Sunday in Letzigrund.
Under coach Ludovic Magnin, FC Zurich increasingly became a mockery. Last season they lost seven 0: 4 (once in the Swiss Cup) and twice 0: 5. The last 11 championship games with Magnin brought 3 draws and 8 losses. Magnin’s last game was 0: 4 in Lausanne.
It is indisputable that the turn for the better in Letzigrund (4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss since) has to do with the change to interim manager Massimo Rizzo. Goalkeeper Yanick Brecher says Rizzo responds to the players and restores to each individual the self-confidence they may have lost.
Dominant at will
Against the unfortunate Lausanne, Zurich played as seen in recent years in the Super League almost exclusively by the Young Boys: confident and with style, dominating the opponent at will and only taking a step back when the score and the opponent’s harmlessness It allows.
This performance in the game against Lausanne-Sport probably would not have been possible if important things had not happened in the squad and line-up recently. The defensive line with Becir Omeragic on the right, Lasse Sobiech and Nathan in the middle, as well as newcomer Fidan Aliti form a solid unit that Rizzo does not need to change.
Return and resurrection
On the offensive, the FCZ did not reinvent the wheel. The same players are present as in the later phase of Magnin. The return of the injured Aiyegun Tosin and the resurrection of Marco Schönbächler are of great value. The veteran had suffered a lot with Ludovic Magnin, also because he was injured for a longer period of time. Like him, Benjamin Kololli also thrives under Coach Rizzo.
I almost wish the FCZ could challenge Master YB in Letzigrund in the previous year. But this match will only be the last of the preliminary round and will take place in early February.
