Chance loser FCZ fails to Napoli

It would have taken Miraculous, the Handicap from the first leg. FC Zurich showed a correct performance in Naples. Voltage he could not produce. It would have needed an early goal and some offensive actions. Without switching to the highest gear, came to Napoli in with 20'000 spectators, only a third filled stadium for the home win. Simone Verdi made shortly before the break and Adam Ounas a quarter of an hour before the end, for the logical result of the unspectacular match, which ended the European Cup season, the Swiss club.

The FC Zurich can claim to have a little more resistance is provided than in the home. He made it, the Neapolitans in two fights Ricken. The Zurich harried their opponent, and prepared always room to create your own attacks. Ludovic Magnin had set with his offense dominated the sound before the kick-off. Only two trained defenders were on the court. On the outside positions of the Defensive two players, which are otherwise usually used more in the front played with Adrian Winter and Benjamin Kololli.

FCZ forgives his few chances

It is a positive impression of the FCZ left behind - but also not more. At any time a Sensation is well over 2000 strong and FCZ-Fans at the Stadio San Paolo in the air. This was the geek, despite the offensive orientation and the double-tip with Stephen Odey, and the very active Assan Ceesay. The anticipated early opening goal that would have awarded the fight after 1:3 at home to the new voltage. The best Chance Ceesay, awarded after a quarter of an hour. From very good Position, he köpfelte free-standing at the gate. Soon after the break, available also Salim Khelifi from eleven meters, missed the target.

The Zurich were not to many opportunities and broke in the 90 minutes only one shot on goal. On the opening Pass from the midfield and the striker waited, mostly in vain. The control center of the FCZ was not convincing in the fight, was not enough to be creative, combined quickly enough. Magnin had to compensate for some absences. Among other things, the 17-year-old Simon Sohm played for the locked Hekuran Kryeziu. For him, it was only the second use of the start for FC Zürich. In the course of the second half, two further FCZ Teenager came up with Bledian Krasniqi and Lavdim Zumberi into the game.

Out of the Top 15 in Europe

with the defeat of the fallen, it is also clear that Switzerland is falling in the UEFA rankings out of the Top 15, and thus in the next season, only four European Cup places of benefit. The FCZ cannot be held responsible for the crash. The Swiss Cup winners met with the proposal in the sixteenth finals more than just a duty. In the group stage, he came to three Victories, including those against Bayer Leverkusen.

More was for the FCZ is not possible. In order to survive, for the first time since 1999, a K. o. round, would have to be the opponent. Napoli - if not in the best shape - was a number too big, a specially difficult task. Finally, the southern Italians last December, had failed as the best third in the Champions League group stage against Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. In Serie A they show behind Juventus scores the 2. Place.
