In the 52nd minute, FCZ coach Bo Henriksen (48) clenches his fist, cheers loudly and takes a deep breath. Rodrigo Conceição (24), who came into the match against Lausanne-Sport after the break, scored the 2:2 for FC Zürich and prevented the second defeat against a team from the bottom half of the table after the derby defeat against GC ( 1:2). Earlier, Bledian Krasniqi (22) made it 1-2 in the 46th minute after a mistake by Lausanne goalkeeper Karlo Letica (26).
Zurich was non-existent in the first half. Signs of a team in crisis became noticeable: hardly any access to the opponent, hardly any precise passes, hardly any self-confidence. Captain Yanick Brecher (30) is furious: “We will miss another half completely, that is an absolute no-go. “It really makes me angry that something like this has happened again.”
“It would be an absolute excuse”
What appeals to the FCZ goalkeeper: The people of Zurich are currently unable to perform at a consistently high level for ninety minutes. In the last three games against FC Basel, GC and now Lausanne, one half was “whoa” and the other “ugh”.
Brecher: “I almost have to say that we don’t have to bring our performance to the pitch in every match, but in every half.”
How does the FCZ veteran explain the huge performance swings? Is the contract drama surrounding coach Bo Henriksen putting pressure on people’s minds? Although the separation between the parties is clearer than ever, neither the coach nor the club have spoken to Tacheles yet. Brecher does not even allow this discussion, he tells TV channel Blue: “That doesn’t affect us at all, that would be an absolute excuse.”
I haven’t completely forgotten how to win
It is noticeable: the sixth match without a win in a row gets on your nerves. No three points have been scored for FCZ since the end of November. Since the winter break, the FCZ still knows what it feels like to win. They defeated German third division club Saarbrücken 2-1 in a friendly match.
But even this certainty doesn’t really help. Now we need another competitive success. The chance to do so comes on Sunday against Yverdon. A difficult task: The newcomer runs the risk of stumbling blocks at home. FC Basel (2:3) and champion YB (2:2) can sing a song about this.
