Balotelli double historic: Many Bernese in the top team – Sion forms the flops

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

At the end, another hammer fell: FC Sion must be relegated from the Super League after 17 years! The demise of Wallis also means the end of the 2022/23 season. And the end of an era: after 20 years of leagues of ten, in the future the Super League will consist of twelve teams and will be played in the Scottish mode.

Which players impressed in the last season of ten? Blick presents the top team of the 2022/23 season (3-4-3 system):

No one has kept more clean sheets (11) than the Napkin backup. His performance propelled Geneva into qualification for the Champions League and himself into the national team for the first time.

Has surpassed captain and regular YB defense chief Fabian Lustenberger. The reward for the best central defender in the Super League is a contract with VfL Wolfsburg.

Plays very ripped off despite his young age. The homegrown FCL player wants to crown his strongest season to date at the U21 European Championship and then flirts with a substantial transfer.

With ten assists, the best assist provider in the Super League – and that as a left back. Embodies the modern full-back, as he is now also defensively stable.

Already at the age of 20 the heart of FC Luzern – with him the team plays a class better (or vice versa). Changes: within Switzerland to YB or abroad.

The meteoric rise of the YB shooting star continued seamlessly this season. Withstood the heightened expectations after participating in the World Cup with ease and is likely to leave the Bernese team for the Bundesliga.

Not a regular player at FC Basel – but why not? No one has better goalscorers for red-blue than Inter Milan on a rental basis. If staying in Basel doesn’t work, another club takes the left foot with a kiss on the hand.

The quiet Serb (never gives interviews!) prefers to convince with deeds than with words. Stevanovic has been a fixture on Servette’s right wing for years. And will also play an important role in the plans of neo-trainer René Weiler.

The return to Switzerland has paid off for both Itten and YB. His 19 goals helped YB double and himself to his Swiss national team comeback.

Shared playing time with Itten in the YB storm – even scoring twice more than his mate. Strong, as Nsame tied in with previous YB times after the shattering of a dream abroad in Italy.

It is incomprehensible that he ever fell through the cracks with the Servette descendants. In the second half of the season, Amdouni turned things upside down at FCB, the red-blue shot into the semi-finals of the Conference League and in the league to a vital 5th place.

Was awarded a year ago to the surprise of many in the capital. With the double he punishes all his critics. To his credit, things have always remained calm in Bern’s luxury team.

Which players have disappointed in the last ten season? Blick presents the flop team of the 2022/23 season (3-4-3 system):

After the World Cup with Ghana, the favorite of the St. Gallic public fell into the doldrums. In addition: two dismissals, with which he did his team a disservice.

His performance after the Geneva game, when he announced the (unofficial) resignation of coach Bettoni, was legendary. On the pitch, on the other hand, the oldie wasn’t nearly as quick-witted: instead of being more stable, the Sion defense became even more gaping after its deployment over the winter.

The Guadeloupe man lost his Super League eligibility this season. A symbol of the appalling personnel policy at FC Sion.

The veteran came from Lugano to stabilize the Wallis defense. Now Sion is relegated with 79 goals conceded (including barrage). Lavanchy played a major role in this.

There are voices deeming him the most brilliant left foot in the league. Problem: It only accesses its potential in homeopathic doses. FCL coach and discipline fanatic Mario Frick has a hard time with that. Under him, Campo eventually sank into obscurity.

Like many on the Sion team, he was once considered very talented. The former FCZ and FCB pro never lived up to the high expectations following his move from Spain to Valais – certainly not this season.

Was signed with the idea of ​​eventually replacing Blerim Dzemaili in FCZ’s midfield. This idea is rejected after just one season: the Norwegian leaves the dethroned champion again.

Two sending-offs, but no goal: that’s not what people in eastern Switzerland had hoped for from the former offensive jewel of Bayern’s descendants. His loan deal ends.

Christian Constantin invested 2.8 million francs in annual salary in what is probably the most spectacular newcomer in Super League history. Also historical: price/performance has never been so far apart for a Super League professional.

He came to FCB after a long covid break and was then injured for half a year. However, after returning to the field, there was no improvement. Much more is expected from someone once touted as the new Bundesliga superstar.

Brought in a year ago as a replacement for champion goalscorer Assan Ceesay. The balance of the transfer flop: no goal, a red card in the classic against FCB and then an injury break for half a year.

Instead of joining the nest of master trainer and predecessor André Breitenreiter, Foda wanted to reinvent the FCZ. With his gnarled nature, he never found the connection with the team. After only two months at FCZ it was over.
