Something is happening in Lugano. There will be a new stadium and since promotion in 2014/15 they have developed both sportingly and financially. “We want to try to establish ourselves permanently in the top four of the championship,” said CEO Martin Blaser last week at the presentation of the stadium project, which should be completed in 2026.
The Luganesi, who are in third place, recently underlined their high sporting ambitions in the game against Winterthur. In the end it is 2:1. Sure, it’s the penultimate table. But the victory describes the current Lugano quite well.
Europe? Croci-Torti radiates from ear to ear
If you’re not really better in difficult matches, but still win them, you’re doing a lot of things right. “We knew that Winterthur is very low. It was difficult. I’m all the happier that we won,” said coach Mattia Croci-Torti after the game.
A millisecond later, his already great joy becomes even greater. The (you get the feeling) always positive coach hears that he and his team will play in Europe next year. Basel lost to St. Gallen (1:6) and still has a direct duel with the higher ranking ahead of them.
“Great, but…”
“Great, now we’ve reached our first goal. I congratulate my players. But now we are aiming for the next one.” It is clear what Croci-Torti means by that: the cup final on June 4 against YB. The Berners have to dress warmly if Lugano continues at this pace.
Before the final takes place, however, the competition first meets FC Basel, FC Zürich and YB. Almost the perfect preparation for the height of the season. The coach knows that too, speaking of difficult matches and top opponents.
Above all, FC Basel impressed Croci-Torti. “FCB is incredible internationally, it’s so good for our football. Now we have to be ready for our task against them next week.”
The anticipation for the cup final is already there, but the priority is the competition. The goal there is at least third place. It shows: Lugano is on the rise.
