FCZ-Juwel Junior Ligue (18) started three times in a row. But in Zurich’s line-up against YB (1-0), the striker’s name was searched in vain – just like those of the young players Cheveyo Tsawa (17) and Nevio Di Giusto (18), who made their starting eleven debuts in recent days to have.

The ‘Jugend forscht’ project of FCZ sports director Milos Malenovic (39) is paused against YB. Instead, the new coaching duo of Murat Ural (36) and Umberto Romano (51) rely on a bit more routine. In defensive midfield, Cheick Condé (23) will play alongside Ifeanyi Mathew (27) for the first time in the post-Henriksen era after serving his red card suspension.

YB as the perfect opponent

“The plan was to rotate after the English week,” says captain Yanick Brecher (30). “Young players cannot perform at this level every three days.” But it is not just the line-up against YB that reminds us of the past few days under Henriksen. The playing style does that too. In the long term, there is little to see of the urgent football demanded by Malenovic.

“That obviously has a lot to do with the early lead. Without the goal we would have started higher and had more ball possession,” Brecher explains. Moreover, the right opponent was visiting Letzigrund in the form of the wavering leader from Bern. “We knew we didn’t necessarily have to win the game,” said the goalkeeper.

Next Saturday the team from Zurich will play another match in Yverdon. For better or for worse, the FCZ will have to take matters into its own hands again. In their first guest match at the Stade Municipal in early February, they lost 3-0 despite having 57 percent of the ball.
