Alex Frei is experiencing a turbulent debut as FC Wil coach. The Aarau – Wil poster has it all, only there are no goals in the game. Countless top chances from both sides in 120 minutes, aluminum punches, hard tackles, arguments. And a Frei that is thrown emotionally on his debut. To set a good example on the sidelines, as he explains below: “Young players need support in a game like this. You can’t sit quietly outside. “
The longer the game lasts, the more Frei suffers on the sidelines, discarding his hands, and giving increasingly forceful instructions. Your Wiler? They are bold, agile, energetic. But they also like to spoil promising opportunities in the penalty area. The Challenge League duel in the Cup is turning more and more into a thriller. In the finals, Frei breathed a sigh of relief several times when FC Aarau gave up a handful of big chances. Pure excitement in Brügglifeld, despite the lack of a door!
The extension has to decide. After normal playing time, Frei lets his players form a circle and gives a fiery, gestural speech. But ultimately, it is of no use. In the end, the eastern Swiss come off the field as losers in the penalty shoot-out. With 3: 4.
Frei serves himself after the game and is tired. When asked about his suffering on the sidelines that night, he says with a smile: “I hope it doesn’t continue for 20 years. Because then I won’t survive these 20 years. “
His players would have “fought like lions.” Frei could say that on this shaky night in Brügglifeld.
