Ticino derby: chaos in the stands: the ZSC Lions bring everyone to their knees

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The most mentioned favorite for qualifying victory does what the most mentioned favorite for qualifying victory does: he shows the competition the limits. In Bern, Lausanne and against Kloten, the Zurich team closed the defense and goal area with the precision of demolition men and at the same time showed itself as aggressive as cage fighters when moving forward.

How should we combat this? Even if Simon Hrubec, according to the majority number 1 in the Zurich goal, abandons the away trip to Lausanne, there is a silver lining on the horizon: the well-rested substitute Robin Zumbühl (24) pulls the Vaudois, who is extremely inspired its forward motion, at 34 Save the nerve.

Based on probability calculations, Zurich’s population will certainly enter a recession at some point. That is the principle of hope. Or you speculate that EV Zug’s visit on Tuesday will bring about a correction in the current balance of power. The rest of the Zurich schedule for this week: Saturday in Rapperswil and Sunday against HC Davos.

The Ticino derby is a time gap: there are at least signs of real rivalry, while in other derbies there are at most traces of it. Even the inflationary regularity of recent years (sometimes six derbies per season) can of course do nothing to damage the passionate climate in the microcosm of the Swiss greenhouse.

But should you really accept excesses like Saturday’s? Chaotic people fighting in a stand reserved for essentially unsuspecting spectators? After hostilities break out, bullies from the fan crowd mingle with the warring factions (how did they get through the security barriers so easily?), training targets are thrown around and toilet facilities are destroyed. The question arises: what is the security situation in the stadium? Can unsuspecting gamegoers feel safe?

This is also annoying because thugs were able to hijack a game that provided plenty of entertainment value even without background noise: Lugano won in a penalty shootout after being down 2-0 early.

The week before, the SCL Tigers had conceded a flurry of goals. Reason: In the defensive area, the opponents were welcomed as warmly as if they were in a knitting circle. Traces of this were still visible on Tuesday in Rapperswil (3:6), but the clear correction followed in the weekend: a win via shootout in Biel (1 goal against) and a defeat after extra time against the Friborg Himmelstürmer (two goals against). . This is called course correction and is the credit of the responsible trainer, in this case Thierry Paterlini.
