Almost 1-0! GC newcomer becomes dangerous for the first time
The Grasshoppers started the Super League without much expectations. First they had to travel to Ticino to watch one of the favorites to win the title. Live now.

Well, one more thing is about personnel. We all ask ourselves, who will inherit the beautiful number 10 from Meritan Shabani, who is probably the player who has played the least GC number 10 ever. It is Giotto Morandi.
Muci again. Yes, I like this young man. He is in the penalty area again, and again not attacked much. Goalkeeper Seppi doesn’t like this at all. He is lucky: he doesn’t have to interfere with Muci’s graduation.
Since not much is happening on the field anymore, one last thing: Dadashov disappears from the team. They say he wants to leave. It’s probably just a matter of time.
Further findings from GC: Marco Schällibaum has two left-backs in Florian Hoxha and Théo Ndicka. But that doesn’t seem to be enough for him. There is no other way to explain why Maxime Pascozi suddenly plays in this position. Last season he played mainly on the right or in the middle.
GC is more active. Schulpf finds Secco in the box and he blocks the ball in front of him to volley. Just stopped.
Well, apart from the chance of Muci, not much is happening here. It’s hot in Ticino and it’s the beginning of the season after all. It may take a while for the whole thing to get going.
Well, we’ve recovered from that now. It seems a bit mean now, but anyone who watched how the GC forwards struggled last season missed scenes like this. The pressure Muci put on Mai was fantastic.
Muci! Yes, that would be a start. After a long ball, Mai misjudged and suddenly the striker appeared alone in front of Seppi. But he was stopped by the goalkeeper. You probably know: Muci is from Ticino. He grew up in Lugano.
We noticed that Grasshoppers also brought some fans this season. The voices that can be heard in Lugano at the moment are mainly from Zurich.
The referee here, by the way, is Urs Schneider.
The event in Lugano was about to start with a minute’s silence for the flood victims in the Maggia Valley. And then the game was already running!
We see: among the newcomers, Muci and Decarli are allowed to join from the beginning. Seko will support Abrashi in midfield. Schulpf plays as a striker and only sits on the bench: Aboubakar, De Carvalho and Babenski.

This week, coach Shalibam, captain Abrashi and sports director Schwartz traveled from Lower Hasley to District 5, where they provided information to the media. The press conference took place in a building on Zollstrasse. Read what the trio had to say before the start of the season here.
Well, there has been a breath of fresh air on the GC campus. There are some new faces, and some old ones are back. Here is a quick overview:
-
Nicholas Mudge Like a beacon of hope in a storm. He last played for FC Wil in the Challenge League for two years and is a Swiss U-21 national team player. We are excited to see if he will make it to the Super League.
-
Saulo Dekali An experienced central defender. Like Muchi, he is also from Ticino and in recent years he has mainly played for the 2. Bundesliga team Braunschweig. He should replace the main players Abrasi, Endenger, Mabir and Schulpf.
-
Evans Morin From league rivals Yverdon, plays as a striker. So he has already played once under Marco Shalibaum. The Frenchman scored 2 goals in 11 games last season.
-
Renate Dadashov Back. Last season he was on loan to Turkey. They say he wants to leave as soon as possible. However, currently he is part of the GC team.
-
Back too Simone StrosioHe was recently loaned to FC Schaffhausen and could complement Abrashi and Ndenge in midfield.
The roles are clearly divided here. The second race of the previous season versus the penultimate race. Lugano is considered a championship candidate, while GC generally does not get much credit.
This is also related to the transfer market remaining calm. The drastic changes that occur every year did not happen, and the team is more or less the same as last season. For example, Francis Momoa, whose contract expired, or Bradley Fink, who had to return to Basel after his loan, are no longer there.
Otherwise? Virtually everything is the same at GC. Goalkeeper Justin Hamel is still there, as are all the other regular players. This is not necessarily a bad thing, after all the team has been through a lot, and according to captain Amir Abrashi they have grown together again in difficult times. We remember: GC narrowly avoided relegation.
But this should be about the grasshoppers. As mentioned before, you will be racing in Lugano. Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses who took over Lezigrund to blame? We don’t know. In any case, the trip to Ticino would have happened sooner or later, so whatever.
…Welcome! Yes, I can’t believe it either. But here it is: the Super League is on again! On Saturday evening we will be live: Lugano vs. GC. And, colleague Florian Raz (Yverdon – FCZ) ticks for you. You can find this live ticker here.
