This teenager is one of the great talents in Swiss football: Zidan Tairi (16). Observers of youth top football agree that the number 10 of the U16 team has the future.
But this future will no longer take place in Switzerland from the new season. Tairi moves from FCZ to the youth academy of Bundesliga club Hoffenheim. Zurich loses a huge talent even before the attacking player has entered the Super League sphere.
«In the 2007 harvest, we have several talented players who decided to go for FCZ. We regret that Zidan has taken a different decision,” said FCZ sports director Marinko Jurendic.
In football, contracts can be concluded from the age of 16 with a view to a possible professional career and the clubs retain the talents. At best, a youngster will prevail and one day bring a club like Zurich millions.
Tairi, like Nati keeper Gregor Kobel (25), now dreams of a Hoffenheim path. The Zurich native triumphed in the Bundesliga through TSG juniors without ever having played in the Super League.
But the fact is: most regular players in the current national team, such as Sommer, Xhaka, Shaqiri, Akanji, Elvedi, Schär, Rodriguez, Freuler, Vargas, Zakaria and Okafor, initially earned their spurs in the Super League. Just like the young generation around Rieder, Jashari or Amdouni, who will soon play abroad.
Tairi’s early jump is a risk. There are a number of examples of Swiss who have been abroad with big clubs, but never played a part in the professional team. Jonas Elmer (35 today) at Chelsea, later at Aarau. Davide Chiumiento (38) at Juventus, later at FCL and FCZ. Sandro Burki (37), near Bavaria, later Aarau.
Nishan Burkart (23) at ManUnited, today on loan from Freiburg at Winterthur. Frédéric Veseli (30), captain of the Swiss U17 world champion team, with ManCity and ManUnited, today in Italy with second division club Benevento. Lorenzo Gonzalez (23) at ManCity, today without a club. Twins Damian and Yago Bellon, 33, did not progress beyond juniors at Aston Villa.
The counterexamples that made it to the national team: Philippe Senderos (38) and Johan Djourou (37) went from juniors to professionals at Arsenal. Kevin Mbabu (28) only played a little Premier League with Newcastle, but was later in the Champions League with YB and Wolfsburg.
In which category do you think U17 jewel Tairi fits?
