Frick raises the alarm in Europe at Lucerne

It’s an eerie curse that the Hoppers beat in a 2-0 win over FC Luzern. It has been 2215 days or almost six years since the Hoppers last won against Central Switzerland. “Congratulations. It’s finally a success. A lot has been written about it,” says FCL coach Mario Frick. And he looks like someone just told him he’ll never see the sun again.

The Lucerne coach usually burns after defeats, after the 2-0 defeat against GC he seems visibly dismayed. “We didn’t have enough tension from the first minute. We need to hurry up with the books and stop talking about Europe. We have nothing to do with such performances there.”

The game could have gone in favor of Central Switzerland. Max Meyer misses a top chance from close range, but fails due to the excellent classification goalkeeper André Moreira. And because he bounced a shot from Mohamed Dräger onto the post a short time later, the Portuguese was man of the match. “If we score the first goal, it could be positive for us,” says Frick. But it turns out differently. Hayo Kawabe, that great football player, scores from a free kick.

Without Müller against St.Gallen

FCL goalie Marius Müller is not looking good both when he conceded and when he created it. Because the shot goes straight into the target. And because he was nagging the referee beforehand, which gave him his fourth yellow card. Müller is suspended for the upcoming match against St. Gallen, but Juwel Pascal Loretz (19) should be in between the posts for him.

For Frick, the match against the East Swiss will be a test of character: “This is the right opponent. If we don’t fight them, we will get five.”
