The match sheets of Lugano and YB for Saturday evening’s match show only 19 names instead of the permitted 20. At Lugano this can be explained by the many injuries. But at YB? Benito and Imeri have long-term injuries, Elia played in the minor final of the Africa Cup of Nations against South Africa (where he missed the decisive penalty).
So YB voluntarily gave up the 20th player.
He was present at the Cornaredo. However, not changed, but in civilian clothes. Cheick Niasse (24) watched the spectacle in the persistent rain on the “Schärme”. Involuntary. The Senegalese arrived late to the team meeting and was quickly removed from the squad by coach Raphael Wicky. Perhaps sports director Steve von Bergen was also in charge, as the Neuchâtel resident is known as a punctuality enthusiast.
However. When it comes to the Europa League play-offs (round 16) against Sporting Lisbon on Thursday, Niasse will definitely want to be there at all costs and will probably be present at least half an hour before the team meetings…
Rrudhani also scores for Lausanne
So this mystery is solved. This was already the case with Donat Rrudhani (24). Von Bergen had already said in Blick why the Swiss-Kosovar’s move to Lausanne was pushed through, even though he had been Man of the Match twice in the last four games for YB and had finally reached his yellow-black operating temperature. On Saturday he scored his first goal for the Vaudois side in a 1-1 draw at Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy.
And Wickie? Everything remains quiet on the coaching front. No news at all. Except rumors. FCZ fans are already writing comments like “Welcome Raphael Wicky” under the headlines about Bo Henriksen, who is leaving at the end of this year. The resident of Upper Valais still does not have a contract for the new season.
Hajdari is not the profile you are looking for
Speaking of rumors, a rumor was spread on a relevant internet platform that YB was interested in YB Lugano central defender Albian Hajdari (20). After Loris Benito tore his cruciate ligament, YB still has four days to find a fourth central defender. Von Bergen denied: “Hajdari is not a problem for us at the moment. He is not exactly the profile we are looking for.”
But the countdown continues mercilessly. The day YB meets Sporting will be the end of the fire. It means: go full throttle!
