“Potential to win titles”: these sentences are flying around Vogel’s ears after the Ouchy shame

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

It’s not easy being an FCB fan at the moment. The players embarrass themselves at home against Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy. The arch enemy from Zurich greets us from the first place in the table. And if that weren’t enough, Ciriaco Sforza (53), one of the most unpopular FCB coaches in history, also analyzes the Blue debacle.

When Sforza was on the sidelines, the FCB supporters thought they were at a sporting low point. Heiko Vogel (47), the team leader, who is now a coach again, proves that it could be worse. Nine games, five points, 10th place. Equal points with Lausanne and rankings. The worst start to the season in thirty years.

Vogel was talking about titles

But the pitiful figures did not stop Vogel from talking about trophies in an interview with the “BZ” last week: “I think the team has the potential to win titles. For example, the cup. The shortest, but also the most difficult road to a title. It’s about quality and I am convinced that this quality is better than last season.”

These are sentences that hit the 47-year-old’s ears after the Ouchy shame. It is not the first time that Vogel has been wrong in this regard. In the spring he said he didn’t want to be a coach anymore, and now he’s back on the bench. Before the start of the season, he announced that he did not want to remain on the sidelines as sports director. “No matter what happens, my place is in the stands and not in the dugout.” Vogel was still there in the 1-1 draw against Lucerne, Timo Schultz’s last match.

When asked about it, he replied: “The first-team staff wanted me to do it again. I would rather break my word than abandon them.” Just over an hour after the final whistle, Schultz and Co. apparently nothing about him. Vogel lowers his thumb and accepts the resignation.

Fans are demanding more patience

A decision that is not well received by the annex. Schultz, who can be seen at the Didi Offensive fan bar before the season, is a likeable guy, approachable, a buddy. Someone who can be forgiven for multiple defeats. The Muttenzer curve likely provides a critical commentary on the expulsion and essentially asks for more patience on the executive branch.

And she identified the main culprit of the misery: Heiko Vogel. He is greeted with occasional expressions of displeasure and farewell with a shrill flute concert.

Not only in terms of sport, but also in terms of unpopularity, Ciriaco Sforza from the Palatinate now seems to have overtaken the rankings.
