No one replaces goals anymore: frame is the golden hand of the Super League

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

It is not known where FC Basel would be if they had retained Patrick Frame in the spring of 2022. Despite an excellent points average (2.11 per game), the 54-year-old is fired. Now he and the small FC Winterthur have a four-point lead over the big FCB.

And it has the third-best offense in the league. Only St. Gallen and YB scored more often. Winti has already scored 31 goals. After 17 games. Last season under coach Bruno Berner there were 32. In the entire season. This has to do with tactics. Because Frame is a proponent of the attacking playing style. And I would rather win 4:3 than lose 0:1. Often the whole thing falls at the feet of the coach. However, in the side derby against FCZ, the risk is rewarded for once. Nishan Burkart scores seconds before the final whistle, it is the first NLA victory against the great FCZ since March 1985.

Frame has jokers in store

And it is already the 13th goal that the Winti coach has scored as a substitute. Golden hands frame. No other Super League coach has more jokers up his sleeve. In second place is FCL coach Mario Frick (twelve goals), third place is shared by YB coach Raphael Wicky and Lugano’s Mattia Croci-Torti with eleven goals each.

If Marco Schällibaum had not been unexpectedly fired from Yverdon, he would probably be at the top of the list. The Zurich native scored nine goals in his 12 appearances for the Vaudois team. It still wasn’t good enough for continued employment.

Shipwreck or ecstasy?

Frame can tell you a thing or two about it; he was fired from FCB after a 3-0 win against Lausanne. And that despite the fact that he was statistically the best coach since Urs Fischer and still had every chance to win the championship. FCB boss David Degen publicly described the expulsion afterwards as a mistake.

And framing? Since his release, he has played just once against FCB. In the end the score was 2:5 from the perspective of the Winterthur team. Because the coach remained true to himself in this match and sought salvation in attack. A tactic that offers everything from total shipwreck to total ecstasy.
