Football – Identity, Play and Love

A few weeks ago, while Vladimir Petkovich’s succession was still open, I was wondering in my corner: «What if ASF has the solution internally?» That’s right, what? Mauro Lustrinelli has done a good job with his youth, Switzerland is a training country, hopes are growing … and who knows them better than Ticino? And who knows the secrets of the union more and hasIt could have been Able to resume rehabilitation along the way? Well after two months, I haven’t changed my mind. Mauro Lustrinelli was a good candidate.

Well, the 45-year-old ex Tonoa doesn’t have the best resume. He’s only coached 13 games in the Premier League, okay. But the guy still plays in the Europa League, six in the Champions League and even twelve in the late Intertoto Cup! Lustrinelli has been wearing the white cross over his heart almost without a break since March 2015 (U21 assistant, U16 coach, before becoming #1 in hopes). In addition to this, he has played 12 international matches as a player.

To see him develop in Lausanne in recent days, the Czech Republic champion in 2007 with Slavia Prague is an inspiration. On the field, in training, he stresses his skills in French, then in German, and then in a mixture of the two. Running, explaining, screaming and laughing, embracing the players. But what Ticino wants above all else is that his people do not leave him. Help yourself. urgent. Fight for all the balloons. And on Friday, against the technically superior Netherlands, that’s what they did.

It almost did, and Switzerland didn’t go so far with a hit so big that it would have opened the doors wide for the European Under-21 Championship, which will take place in 2023 in Georgia and Romania. Leading 2-0, she could have crossed her shoulder again at the end of the match if it had been Dan Ndwi or Felix Mbebe.employmentt was a bit more realistics… In short, the Rougets raced against one of the world’s top coaching nations, thanks in large part to their enthusiasm and tactical risk. they jam.

my fifthœu heaps ofu August 2021 to see Lustrinelli take the lead didn’t sound like ASF politics anyway, Ticino certainly wasn’t the most attractive candidate to meNSshepherds hNo doubt she is not German enough for certain foreign media. But when you are in Switzerland and you have no oil, you are entitled to have ideas. Ideas in the game, ideas in the management of men. And that, Lustrinelli has a lot!

Then what a joy to see this Swiss team finally had its share of talented Romans… Genevans as if it was raining (Amdouni, Jankewitz, Imeri, Omeragic), Vaudois in spades (Husic, Okoh, Bares, Ndoye) and a Friborgois for the road (Membembe) … and once again, we will soon naturalize the Welsh porter SLO Justin Hamill, I’m sure! Enough to convince the many kids who came to the playground on Friday that they had their chance in the sport.

Because as a bonus – and even if many tickets are released for free for under-16s – La Tuilière has shown that it can be a beautiful venue for international matches. They numbered more than 7000 to decorate it, which means the second total for the young man’s history of the alignment. So far, there were 4,632 spectators at the start of the season against St. Gallen (1-2), 5,635 spectators in mid-August against FC Basel (2-2), and 12,150 spectators to receive Sion (1-1). ) and the entire stadium operation was successful on September 12, as well as 4,875 during the match inflicted by YB (0-6) ten days later.

With the crowd that will be in attendance at Praille on Saturday night, after a week in which Somer, Shaqiri and company spent more time taking selfies than training, it has been demonstrated that the ASF must cross sarin regularly. whether with «a»But also girls and hope.

Ils illusion They will all be warmly received there, as they say in 2021.
