The only thing that matters in the current phase of the cup is victory. FCZ professional Antonio Marchesano (32) also agrees. «In the end, only the result counts. The most important thing is that we beat Bellinzona. We are not interested in how we did that,” says the FCZ attacking artist.
FCZ has to go into extra time against Bellinzona, third from bottom in the Challenge League, although they clearly dominate, especially in the second half. Redemption then follows in the 93rd minute with a goal from top scorer Jonathan Okita.
For Marchesano, the victory and the passage to the quarter-finals are not the only pleasant experiences on this great Halloween evening in Bellinzona. After all, the son of Italians was born and raised in the city known for its three medieval castles and took his first steps in professional football there. Twelve years ago he left for German-speaking Switzerland. Now he can play against his hometown club again for only the second time since 2016.
Cousin as enema child
“It was very special. A quarter of the audience was my family,” Marchesano said. In fact, among the 5,040 spectators there are many people who are Bellinzona supporters but identify as Marchesano fans. Whenever he is close to the stands, they shout to him. And after the match, when Marchesano is the only player giving interviews and the stadium is almost empty, there is a child in the stands shouting loudly to his “Zio”.
Marchesano’s cousin was the enema child that night. However, he was not allowed to walk onto the field hand in hand with his uncle. Because coach Bo Henriksen initially put his number 10 on the bench. Marchesano is only allowed to participate from the 74th minute. Perhaps the only thing that didn’t go perfectly that night. From a sporting point of view it probably doesn’t matter. Because: “In the end, only the result counts.” This also applies to the next round of the cup. The draw will take place tonight at 11pm (SRF two) once the remaining cup matches have concluded.
