Alarming statistics: FCZ no longer scores goals

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

When you hear FCZ, you think of courageous and attacking football. This is the paradigm of sports director Milos Malenovic (39). Since the departure of Bo Henriksen (49), it has been the task of the two assistant coaches Murat Ural (36) and Umberto Romano (51) to instill this new philosophy in the players.

Approaches can actually be recognised. The FCZ has many attacking forces and always knows how to get them into final positions. That was also the case against Winterthur on Wednesday evening. The problem? Nothing concrete happens. It rarely becomes really dangerous. This is not only confirmed by the xG value (expected goals) in the respective matches, but also by the number of goals scored. There have been two in the last five games. This is alarming.

No goals, no wins

Against Winterthur, Zurich failed to score for the fifth time in the last nine games. And if you don’t do it up front, you won’t win games, let alone titles. So the bottom line is that the cup-out is no surprise.

“We know we have to do better,” said Romano, who appeared in front of the media during the cup in place of Ural. Yet he doesn’t really seem concerned about it. ‘We’re not doing that badly. We’re missing something in the last zone. We are working on it and have to force some luck.”

Romano already knows how he wants luck on his side. “It’s all about hard work and perseverance.” In addition, you have to keep playing bravely and not get scared because scoring goals is currently not possible. The FCZ doesn’t have much time to go through the books anyway. The next test is on Sunday against YB.

In any case, the residents of Zurich have good memories of the leader. At the end of November it was 3:1. It is the last time that FCZ scored more than two goals in a match. What if that’s not a good omen?
