- FC Zurich loses 2-1 at home to St.Gallen on Sunday.
- One scene during the match causes astonishment for blue Sport expert Admir Mehmedi: FCZ sporting director Milos Malenovic gives tactical instructions to a player before he is substituted.
Just 20 minutes have been played at the Letzigrund when FC Zurich make their first change. Cheveyo Tsawa has to come off with a red card and is replaced by Miguel Reichmuth.
Shortly before his substitution, the TV camera catches Reichmuth receiving tactical instructions on the bench. Not from FCZ co-coach Alessandro Riedle, who was standing in for the sick head coach Ricardo Moniz on the touchline, but from head of sport Milos Malenovic.
Mehmedi: "Never experienced that as a player"
"I had to look twice to see who was giving the player the instructions here," said blue Sport expert Admir Mehmedi in the studio, expressing his surprise. "I had to smile. I played at a high level myself for 16 years, but during that time I never had to be given tactical instructions by a sports director. That's special - and somehow funny for me too."
FCZ ultimately lost 2-1 to St.Gallen, with Joker Jean-Pierre Nsame scoring a brace to turn things around for the eastern Swiss side - and ensure that FCSG overtook the Zurich side in the table.
