Here come the champions! It is 11:09 a.m. when the FCZ players stroll onto the training ground in Zurich-Schwamendingen for their first training session since winning the title. Of course, the atmosphere is totally relaxed, people joke and laugh.
Previously, the team had watched a video compilation of the most emotional scenes from the masterful May 1st instead of the usual analysis of the last game.
After two days off and the party marathon, the training program has also been humane since Sunday evening. In the final exercise, not only the coaching team but also the physios kick in – or rather, they are forced to do so by the team. A masterly fun action.
The injured Ante Coric (24) and Fabian Rohner (23) are absent from training. Key players Assan Ceesay (28) and Ousmane Doumbia (29) are quite normal. But only until the end of the season. According to Blick information, it is now certain that the two pillars of the master team will not extend their contracts with Zurich.
Doumbia is said to have already signed with Lugano. And FCZ top scorer Ceesay apparently has lucrative offers from the Arab world.
Marchesano has beautiful hair
Striking: a small filigree technician with colorful hair. A newcomer? No, it’s Antonio Marchesano (31), who is the second player following Gianni De Nitti (19) – the third goalie even let his long hair be in the joggeli – to have a master haircut. “Actually, I wanted blue and white, but now it’s only white,” Marchesano said to Blick following training.
But this white has quite a violet tinge. Marchesano laughs and says: “It’s kind of from the shampoo. But that should go away in the next few days!”
