Dejan Sorgic, Shkelqim Demhasaj, Koro Koné, Simone Rapp and especially former national team star Eren Derdiyok: they are all well known to Swiss football fans. They have all made waves in the Super League or bigger competitions. They are all attackers. And they’re all playing in the Challenge League now.
And there is something else in common: none of them top the list of top scorers in the second highest Swiss professional league. Here is another name at the top: Davide Giampà from FC Baden. The 30-year-old has already scored six times, the same number as Wils Sofian Bahloul (from matchday 13).
This is worth mentioning in several ways: Compared to the supposed stars of the Challenge League, Giampà is only known to insiders. Because he plays for the newly promoted FC Baden. And that’s just as a hobby. While Derdiyok, Sorgic and Co. While everything revolves around football, it only comes into focus for Giampa in the evening. The 30-year-old works 100 percent in the real estate sector.
Moreover, Giampà signed his only professional contract to date (2014 with FC Wohlen) as a defender! Only since 2019 has he been an attacking player. An attacking player again – because: “I have always had the instinct of a striker, I played in attacking positions for a long time in my youth. With the U16s I was converted into a defender,” Giampà says in “AZ”.
And what if he had played as a striker at the time? “Of course I wondered that too. But I have no problem with the past. Such developments also have to do with luck. The most important thing is that it is good for me now.”
Many amateurs in Baden
A trained defender and amateur who outsmarts the stars in the Challenge League! No glory for Derdiyok, Sorgic and Co.
By the way: Baden only has seven professionals, all other players, like Giampà, work more or less full-time. And yet the newcomer regularly scores points in the Challenge League. Also in Vaduz on Sunday?
