And by the way he kicks goals

Nico Siegrist for his team is indispensable, the show alone for a couple of Numbers. 13 of the 31 Kriens season goals he has scored, 8 prepared. No other player in the Challenge League can boast a better record. But the First to put in perspective, Siegrist yourself: "Yes, Yes, there's four penalties." His movement of the hand expresses: these are the statistics just do not exaggerate.

Siegrist was once a Talent, that lived by his nonchalance. He was not yet 18, when he was at the beginning of may 2009 when FC Luzern, his debut in the Super League at the 4:0 against Aarau with a hit. He loved the football , his profession, and yet he realized early on that he wanted to fill his days with other things. Time he had had enough. Today, he says: "The Chapter professional I have completed a long time ago."

He is now 27 and a teacher, he has taught at the secondary school Hitzkirch sports, history and geography, and studied further at the University of Bern and by the way, he shoots for 2015 regular goals for SC Kriens. Can train only at night, and if the coming summer, the units will be one and one-half hours on 17 at accelerated, it could be for him, depending on the schedule problematic.

Delete, clean up, talk

On the club it should not be when it comes to a solution. Siegrist is for the Kriens more than a scorer. As in the game against Servette, a fireworks turf a hole in the art eats, hurries Siegrist at the edge of the field, grabs an empty beer mug, fills it with snow and added to a delete action; when the game is over, he helps, of course, clean up and comes with corner flags under the Arm, in the cabin; and after the shower, he's moving on from the five, but in the Clubbeiz penalty stübli in the extension. The Fan appreciates it, if he is allowed to go with the veteran a few words. For Siegrist what he is doing is just normal.

The sports club is used as a table to eighth while in the midst of a relegation battle, but he's still much better than even five years ago. In 2014, he was in the sinking of the 1. League gone and made local headlines because of a debt of 1.5 million Swiss francs had accumulated. But the new leadership stopped the decline: Werner Baumgartner, a southern slope of mount entrepreneurs, as President of the new stadium. And Bruno Galliker took over the office of the sports leaders, and business leader. The Duo nurtured a club, the valuable education work: The young count 530 juniors.

2018 was the year of the return in the Challenge League and moving into the new Kleinfeld, which has over 900 seats and 2600 standing and in the possession of the Lucerne pension Fund. They took over the majority of the costs of 22 million Swiss francs. For the first team with a Budget of 1.35 million Swiss francs is available in this season, which is further clarified: A professional operation can not be financed. And that's why it is that a player must log off for a game, such as, for example, Daniel Fanger, who works for the international ski Federation FIS in Marketing. After all, the means to the Secretariat to increase the range of 1.6 to 2.2.

The coach is locked

rule no luxurious conditions, however, Bruno finds Berner pleased: "It has never whined. We don't want to waste the energy to waste with things that don't change." Berner is the 41-year-old coach who has made the second half of the season under the Motto: "moving mountains, moving boundaries."

Now the former national player stands with his Team prior to an unusual Thursday: the day in Central Switzerland, the Fasnacht starts, for Kriens in the Letzigrund of the Cup quarter-final at FC Zurich. "For us, that is not a burden, but a very simple game," he says, "who expects us to already come?" The influence of the Bernese can take no more, however, when the game starts: After his sending-off in the eighth-final against Rapperswil, he is locked and must take on the grandstand court.

For the indent in the quarter-final of the Association shall pay a bonus of 25 000 Swiss francs, in the case of the semi-finals, it would be 50 000 francs. What amount will it be: It flows fully into the team Fund. "The Bonus, the players have earned," says Galliker. And: "We expect the us in Zurich."

The final word belongs to Nico Siegrist: "to have joy, to be in the Letzi play, and everything in the mouth, what we have. We will not be chanceless." (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
