Clap in the carnival duel

FCL trainer Frick is waiting for capable clippers

FCL went down 1:5 in the friendly against FSV Mainz 05. Despite a prominent striker trio in the squad, the central Swiss are looking for a clipper who will eliminate the lack of goals.

Is the clear result an indication of which of the two cities has the better carnival party this year? FC Luzern lost 5-1 in the duel between the carnival strongholds and FSV Mainz 05. In the two-hour test match (4 times 30 minutes) at the Marbella Football Center, the Central Swiss were ninth in the Bundesliga (with Nati defender Silvan Widmer and Edimilson Fernandes) but only in the final phase as clearly inferior as the result suggests. Because of the performance in the last 30 minutes, FCL coach Mario Frick took his team to court, spoke of a “catastrophe” and that some players should question themselves.

No one is trusted to be the goal-getter

The Liechtensteiner was satisfied with the initial phase, in which Lucerne dominated Mainz, but in contrast to the Germans missed the chances. A long-standing problem at the FCL, which is why the search for a striker is in full swing. Frick to Blick: “We are looking for a clipper who can help immediately.” Means: None of the well-known trio Dejan Sorgic, Assumah Abubakar and Joaquin Ardaiz is credited with the role of goal-getter, Sorgic and Ardaiz are also ailing.
