Currently there are two parallel worlds at FCZ. On the one hand, there is the enormous boost that the youth academy received with the hiring of two Red Bull employees: globetrotter Ricardo Moniz (59) came as head of player development and as trainer-coach, and Sascha Milicevic (47) came immediately. from Salzburg as new head of training.
But with all the upgrading of young talent, the professional team is currently being left out. Parallel World Super League. In the excellent series of the undefeated FCZ, their own descendants play no role. The starting eleven of coach Bo Henriksen (48) contains no players under the age of 22 and the success proves that the Dane is right.
The young people have a hard time in the professional team
Our own juniors such as Junior Ligue (18), Ramon Guzzo (19), Labinot Bajrami (18), Selmin Hodza (20), Silvan Wallner (21) or the Reichmuth brothers Nils (21) and Miguel (20) are part of The Professional team, but like newcomers Arad Bar (23) and Armstrong Oko-Flex (21), is in a difficult position. Homegrown Bledian Krasniqi (21) was supposed to be close to the starting eleven, but was recently injured.
Henriksen said last week, almost apologetically, that he had to act by the maxim ‘Never change a winning team’; he now even had to get rid of a regular player like Adrian Guerrero (25), who was undisputed before the injury.
With one exception: in the cup. In the first two cup rounds against Red Star (2nd League Inter) and Tuggen (2nd League), Henriksen rotated almost completely. Benchwarmers such as Mirlind Kryeziu (26) and Marc Hornschuh (32) were also used against the amateurs for a long time.
Cup opponent Bellinzona too good for experiments
But now the rotation in the cup is also over. Henriksen will not dare to experiment at Challenge League club Bellinzona on Tuesday. “That would be wrong against this opponent. “I am not going to change eleven players anymore,” says the Dane.
Zurich definitely wants to progress in the cup. Before the SLO competition, Henriksen also said for the first time that he “wanted to win something” with the FCZ. A title – and the Dane also describes that the cup is the best chance: “The shortest route to a European group stage.”
Henriksen is betting on the undefeated team in the competition in Ticino. Bellinzona comes on early for Fabio Daprelà (32), who was eliminated against SLO with a head injury.
