A large banner hangs in front of the Swissporarena on Saturday morning. «All good for usi city! Ugh, successful season! “It is the message of the fans. Only hours later, however, Central Switzerland fans are disappointed. Your favorites don’t play well against Lugano in Ticino and lose the first league match 1: 2.
FCL is lost in Ticino: Gerndt-Hammer puts Lugano in the lead(04:05)
Coach Fabio Celestini and his team face difficult weeks. With Blessing Eleke, Darian Males, Shkelqim Demhasaj and Ryder Matos, Lucerne lost a lot of offensive power this summer. So far, sports director Remo Meyer has only been able to introduce a new player in Louis Schaub (from Cologne). Celestini sounds the alarm after the bankruptcy of Lugano. Once again. New players are needed. A few days ago, the French-speaking country asked for reinforcements.
Now things will get even worse for Central Switzerland: on Saturday night, Francesco Margiotta will not be on the FCL squad. “Francesco is not currently with us with 120% in mind. And we need players who give everything for FCL ”, explains Celestini. For Marcel Reif, Teleclub expert, one thing is clear: Margiotta will leave Lucerne. “When you hear that, the case will be over. You don’t do this because you are bored. The head is elsewhere. There will be an offer. “
According to BLICK’s information, Margiotta would like to see her contract extended. Otherwise, the forward, who scored eleven league goals last season, is likely to leave. After all, they have already found a replacement in Aarau’s Yvan Alounga. The 18-year-old should sign in Lucerne soon.
Does Kakabadze have to go?
The FCL also needs action on the defensive. Central Switzerland currently only have two fit central defenders. On the outside, Marvin Schulz defends against the Lugano midfielder. Otar Kakabadze, a trained winger, just sits on the bench. Apparently Lucerne is no longer planning with the Georgian, he writes “Zentralplus”. Coach Celestini no longer serves him.
Against Lugano, Kakabadze arrives after just under an hour, for young midfield Filip Ugrinic (21). Schulz passes to the center for Ugrinic, Kakabadze takes his usual position in defense.
The club does not want to confirm whether he really has to leave. But even if Kakabadze sticks around, Lucerna is thin on defense. Sports director Meyer has his hands full for the next few weeks: reinforcements are needed, front and rear. After all, the transfer window is still open until October 12.
