A knee injury of the worst kind for Albian Comert

15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zurich lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match24 Oct 2029

Zurich do the business in Europe

0‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Zurich came through the finding-out well against Alashkert.

Market29 Oct 2029

Andreas Jungdal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Zurich, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match29 Oct 2029

Nobody above Zurich

First, on 29 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

The dugout29 Oct 2029

Marcel Monsberger keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Zurich may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market29 Oct 2029

Kai Klefisch raises the bar for Zurich

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Zurich heard it as anything else.

Lazar Peranović arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Lazar Peranović has, at Zurich, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad29 Oct 2029

Words exchanged at Zurich

Philipp Sander and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match27 Oct 2029

Zurich make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad22 Oct 2029

The knee: Albian Comert out for 22 days

22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zurich lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Zurich

Malek Ishuayed was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout22 Oct 2029

The manager makes an example of Facinet Conté

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match20 Oct 2029

The run at home goes on for Zurich

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match20 Oct 2029

Zurich find a way past St. Gallen

St. Gallen made Zurich work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad22 Oct 2029

A row about effort at Zurich

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Brandon Soppy was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Daniel Dos Santos in the eights

A performance of 8.12 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Giuseppe Caso in the eights

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Facinet Conté beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout When it matters, Daniel Dos Santos plays
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Kai Klefisch

Market15 Oct 2029

Marcel Monsberger hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zurich can pretend not to have heard.

Squad15 Oct 2029

Philipp Sander in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zurich this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Zurich

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Simone Santoro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom15 Oct 2029

Wages swallow 89% of the Zurich income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout15 Oct 2029

When it matters, Mattia Zanotti plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout15 Oct 2029

Thomas Castella gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout15 Oct 2029

Kai Klefisch asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Lindrit Kamberi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Lindrit Kamberi signs something — a contract at Zurich or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
