Why Zesiger is leaving YB in the summer

class=”sc-97fd9fa8-0 jNFKxv”>

Incomprehensible! A curse. And a head grab in response. That’s how it was for the YB fans, when Cédric Zesiger (24) once again made a big contribution. Past. Zesiger is playing his best YB season to date. His game has become much more regular. But one thing has remained: the impressive physique.

Probably not a second duel with Balotelli

In the next match, a physical duel would have awaited him. That against Mario Balotelli (32). But the feverish superstar should be missing in Wankdorf. “Too bad. Because I like to play against physically equivalent players who don’t immediately fall over and hold their shins, even if you barely touched them…» And it’s also more relaxed to play against the superstar, because you don’t have to set records “But watch out!” warns Zesiger. “There is a risk that you will forget him behind you. He is already there – and scores the goal. It takes total respect and complete concentration.”

Already back in the national team on Thursday?

Zesiger is taking both buildings with him this season. Which means that the national team will be a topic of conversation again very soon (after the debut on September 1, 2021 in the 2-1 win against Greece). Probably with the next move, for which the selection will be announced next Thursday. “Murat Yakin called me before the World Cup and told me I was very close,” says Zesiger. “I think that despite the absence of a European Cup group stage, I managed to register my claim.”

Cup semi-finals in Basel? “The game of the year!”

So much so that he captained the team in Letzigrund against FCZ. Pride? “Clear! Even though it doesn’t really matter who wears the bandage. But as a Berner you are proud of that. But I noticed that it made my family even happier than I was.”

The most important game, of course, is next. sie But what about April 4th? “Cup!” comes like a cannon shot. «The biggest game of the year! And one of the most important against FC Basel in recent years,” said the central defender. Because YB has the sincere desire to become both cup winner and champion. To be able to celebrate a “real” doppelgänger with fans and the like. That is still missing. Zesiger couldn’t even celebrate one of his three titles with the supporters. “I really long for that.”

In the summer, Zesiger packs his bags

And then he could with a clear conscience realize his dream of going abroad in the summer. Because that he will go then seems as ready as dumpling broth. Why? Zesiger still has a contract until 2025. If he doesn’t leave by then, YB would have to extend the contract with him to make a fat transfer. That would hardly be possible with a remaining term of one year.

An extension would only be an option for Zesiger if he felt it was not enough for abroad. So it should work now and a club (depending on the destination) offers YB five to ten million francs to say yes. Everything is done, Zesiger knows that too. “I’m ready! The timing is right. I have experience and I’m still young.” But, and he emphasizes, “I certainly won’t do anything to force a departure.”

It doesn’t have to if he keeps playing like this.
