11 Hot Theses To Start With: “Vogel Will Be Back On The Basel Bench Soon!”

There is a good chance that the Bernese will become champion after 33 rounds and before the division of the competition into a championship and relegation group. If we look at the last ten seasons, after 33 rounds the championship would have been decided six times, even with five championship group rounds to go, twice close and only two times would have been close. Originally, the intention was to make the league more attractive by introducing play-offs, but the idea fell through due to the idea of ​​fair play.

League boss Claudius Schäfer says: “With twelve clubs and one direct duel less in the first phase, the starting position changes for everyone. We are all very excited to see how the new mode will affect the course of the championship, especially for the division of the league after 33 rounds. And of course we look forward to many exciting decisions in the last five rounds. When choosing the format of the game, the clubs were aware that, as in all European competitions, a club can be classified as champions or relegated early on.”

The best Swiss football players regularly go abroad. Higher level, more pay, more prestige. Why not our referees too? The best Swiss referee Sandro Schärer (35) has been part of the UEFA elite group since December 2021. As one of the 32 best referees in Europe, he whistles the Champions League and can hope for European or World Cup finals. It somehow makes sense that a referee of his caliber actually belongs in one of Europe’s top leagues.

That says referee boss Dani Wermelinger (52): “Of course it would speak for Sandro’s qualities if he could referee Bundesliga matches. There are exchange programs with certain countries, but not with the DFB. To referee in Germany, Sandro would have to apply for a change of country and lose his FIFA status as a result. So I don’t think it would be in his interest.”

Even though FC St. Gallen gives the impression of a big family, harmony and unity, behind the scenes it simmers. Ironically, things are not at all harmonious between the integration figures from St. Gallen, captain Lukas Görtler (29) and trainer Peter Zeidler (60). Although Zeidler recently denied Zoff in Blick (“We can reassure the St. Gallen fans: Lukas and I are closer than ever!”), Blick learned from well-informed sources that Görtler’s advisers are already looking for new clubs.

This is what FC St. Gallen says about it: Nothing anymore. The club has already taken a position on this story, it is said when asked.

Sports director Heiko Vogel (47) replaced the dismissed Alex Frei (44) last season. In the league he was less successful with 5th place, but internationally it went very well – with the qualification for the semi-finals in the Conference League. If the team under Timo Schultz (45) does not perform as desired, Vogel must quickly return to the bench.

This is what Heiko Vogel says about it: “I look forward to the new season in my role as sporting director. And whatever happens, my place in this role is in the stands, not in the dugout.”

The opposite statement “Magnin is the first coach to see a card” would probably be more promising. But Ludovic Magnin (44) knows that many eyes will be on him when he returns to Super League after an absence of almost three years.

Ludovic Magnin says: “It would be nice! But I don’t think I will be able to do this. When the referee instructed our coaches, we were told that yellow cards had to be drawn quickly. But I have become more experienced and also calmed down a bit.”

The fact that it has been quiet on the carpet floor of FC Luzern for weeks does not mean that the quarrel between main shareholder Bernhard Alpstaeg and the board of directors around chairman Stefan Wolf and shareholder Josef Bieri has been settled. On the contrary: an extrajudicial approach has (so far) failed miserably and various criminal and civil proceedings are now underway. It is impossible to say when decisions will be made.

Here’s what Alpstaeg’s PR consultant Sacha Wigdorovits says: “I endorse this thesis.”

Since promotion in 2019, Alain Geiger (62) has finished 4th, 3rd, 6th and 2nd with Servette. An increase for René Weiler (49) is almost impossible, especially because two team pillars are disappearing with Clichy and Mbabu.

This is what René Weiler says about it: “As a result, that will be true. But there are certainly other opportunities for improvement and development.”

With the exception of Daprela (from Lugano), FCZ has not reported any significant arrivals, unlike the departures of Dzemaili, Omeragic and Selnaes.

This is what FCZ legend Marco Schönbächler (33) says: “I believe that this thesis is not true. My thesis: The FCZ becomes 5th in the first phase and then becomes sensational champion! »

With Bolla, Kawabe, Loosli, Moreira, Schmid, Herc, Pusic, Demhasaj, Hara, Margreitter, Nadjack and Schettine, almost the entire classification team has left and coach Contini is also gone. Almost a “Mission: Impossible” for his successor Bruno Berner (45).

This is what Blick expert Kubilay Türkyilmaz (56) says: “I’m guessing GC is 8th. For me the relegated team is called Yverdon. The new owners from America seem to have little idea how football works in Switzerland.”

With 32, FC Winterthur scored the lowest number of goals in the Super League last season. Center striker Aldin Turkes (27) solves the problem. Although he hardly got any match practice last season with promoted team Lausanne and was out for almost 20 months before that due to a cruciate ligament tear.

Turkish says: “I hope Blick is right – I’ll give anything for it anyway!”

Even if Mario Balotelli (32) leaves Wallis after relegation and a year before the end of his contract, FC Sion will provide stories. Christian (66) and his son Barthélémy Constantin (28) guarantee that.

This is what former Walliser Sion and Lausanne legend and current football pundit Georges Bregy (65) says: “As long as CC is there, there will always be something to do: whether it concerns transfers, appeal procedures or the construction of the new stadium. Sportingly, I hope that Sion writes many positive headlines.”
