There is a lot of rumbling in the FCL cabin

As ugly as the shareholder dispute on the carpet is, so beautiful is the sporting development: this is how FC Luzern’s season can be summarized so far. After four wins in a row in April, coach Mario Frick’s team moved up to second place and was therefore the first contender for the Champions League qualification.

But since then it’s been going downhill: only one point from three games. And after the 2-0 defeat against GC in Letzigrund last weekend, Frick thundered to his team: “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.” Frick made a face like seven days of rainy weather.

But that’s not all: in addition to the public scolding, there was a real bang behind the cabin door. According to information from Blick, there was a lecture for captain and midfield jewel Ardon Jashari after GC’s bankruptcy. Sender: coach Mario Frick and sports director Remo Meyer. And that in front of the whole team. Innhold: Jashari should be focusing more on the final sprint of the season at the FCL rather than the impending move abroad.

Frick confirms that he became a bit more vocal on Sunday and that he also criticized his captain in front of the team. “There are two or three things I don’t like about him lately. I’ve told him that.” Frick does not want to give any information about the specific content. But he is not afraid that something will get stuck. “Ardon and I have a very close relationship. There is not a leaf between him and me.”

Dispute with Abubakar settled

The Jashari case should not be the only source of fire. This is evident from the results of further Blick research. Mario Frick and regular goalkeeper Marius Müller are said to have recently collided in training. After the dispute, Müller said goodbye to the locker room, although training was still going on. Frick denies: “There is absolutely nothing wrong.” The keeper is missing against St. Gallen because of the fourth yellow card. He is replaced by Vaso Vasic because Pascal Loretz is unavailable with a hip problem.

Asumah Abubakar will be there on Saturday. The striker, born in Ghana and a regular player in the autumn, has only been used sporadically lately. In February he was not in the selection against St. Gallen, Frick said at the time according to the “Luzerner Zeitung”: “If he does not want to participate according to our principles, then he is not there.” The dispute has since been suspended. “We had two disagreements,” says Frick. “But that has been clarified.” Abubakar apologized to him and the team.

Talking about it, disagreements between players and coaches, disputes – for Frick everything falls within the “normal framework”. His focus is on the end of the season. The FCL still has it in their own hands to reach the “Europe” goal in the three remaining games. “If that works out, it will be a good season. If we were still in the top 3, it would even be a very good or sensational season,” said Frick. “Because Servette and Lugano have a clearly better selection than We.”
