At the end of November, FCZ celebrated a 3-1 home win over YB to move to the top of the Super League table. “We definitely feel like leaders – and rightly so,” explains captain Yanick Brecher (30) afterwards.
Two and a half months later, Zurich’s fantasy of another championship coup has turned into a nightmare. An embarrassing 3-0 defeat to newly promoted Yverdon marked a new low.
FCZ coach Bo Henriksen (48) missed the event due to illness. The Dane has been lying on his back with the flu for several days. Assistant coach Murat Ural is in his reserve in Vo.
“Everything went as usual”
He explains that Henriksen’s absence did not affect preparations for the game in Vaud. “We did everything as usual,” Ural said. After a seventh game in a row without a win, perhaps this is where FCZ’s big problem lies.
It is possible that Henriksen missed his farewell game on Sunday. After the egg dance over the contract renewal, those in charge of FCZ would be naive if they had not already sorted out possible successors.
In just a few weeks, the Zurich team fell from the leadership throne to fifth place in the table. The next derby against GC is next weekend. If FCZ goes winless again, the brink will be dangerously close – and rightly so.
