I always had the feeling: Something is broken

Marco Schönbächler is in the Form. At the 4:2 of the FCZ against Sion, he is involved in three goals, two weeks earlier, scoring a goal at the 3:2 against Basel.

If you watch them currently, you might think that it was the Marco Schönbächler of the young years.
That’s good to hear. From time to time, I feel like the time I was 20. Then there are days when I feel older, because to me, everything hurts. But basically, it runs fine again. I played a few games in a row, and I got into a Flow.

What it needed to return to regular play?
work. And confidence in their own abilities, but also in the body.

they fell twice in injury due to very long and to go threatened to forget.
There were players at the FCZ, the more was talked of. The journalists forgot me, but that doesn’t bother me at all. For the colleagues and Fans, I was never gone. I was approached on the street often, and cheered up.

Were there moments where you thought to a resignation?
no, never.

What drove you?
My love of soccer . This is my passion. But I also have to admit: It was mainly during the first extended outage of difficult phases. Because a long time it was unclear what it is. When cruciate ligament rupture, I suffered him later, was predictable, when I would give the Comeback. In the case of the first violation, no forecast was. Sometimes, I paused for a week, the pain was gone. But as soon as I was on the court, they were back. I always had the feeling: Something is broken.

What was broken?
A doctor in London found that the pubic bone band was ripped. I didn’t know that there is the.

But thanks to the diagnosis, she understood why they had always had problems?
Exactly. What he said made entirely sense – even if he spoke English, and I laugh, half did not understand ().

you now know for sure what “pubic bone” is called in English.
“Pubic bone”. Before I flew to England, I sat apart a bit with the matter and some of the terms so I could communicate with the doctor. When I had the diagnosis at last, it went pretty quickly. I went back a week later to London, a day after the Operation I was allowed home.

Without crutches?
Exactly. I even had to race in order to catch the plane.

What did the injury with you?
Not very much. I would not say that I have become more cautious, but I pay more attention to the Regeneration. I’m more conscious of it with me.

If you talk about it, pulls you down?
no. The injuries include. When I look around me in our team: As many players have operated on the knee.

How is it in the Morning after getting Up? You listen First thing in your body?
I get up and do the first couple steps, go in the kitchen, preparing the Breakfast. And at some point, the body is lubricated, then it goes again.

not Contend that they have played the same years?
In retrospect, it is of course a pity. The injury came in points to a very silly time.

Very stupid, because a Transfer abroad would have been possible…
… or because I was in good shape, because I had come to the national team, that sort of thing. Sure, there were moments when I was alone at home and me less well off. And I asked myself: Why would I? But I couldn’t change it, and managed to look ahead. It brings nothing to have a bad mood.

Who and what helps in such a time?
You have to help yourself, you have to find the Motivation themselves. We do not always have people around you that drive you. I’m also not the type who wants to burden other people with his Wehwehs and Bobos. I’m more of someone who eats something inside.

What is left of the 17-year-old Marco schönbächler left?
of Course, I’m grown up, I no longer have a different role, I’m the Boy who can do what he wants, without that something Greater will come of it. I have a model function. I have so many ideas in my head and this hairstyles, on the early much has been written. But the light-heartedness, I. On and off the pitch.

Would you sign with 30 “Schönbi” on the camisole, like you did once?
Why not? I always have joy, if someone comes with a body and a signature want. Sure, there were a few critical voices, but it was just a Fun. And as a “Schönbi” on the camisole booth and it didn’t work, I got to hear the …

… and you had the stamp.
Exactly. And it was, I would look to the hairstyle … But it was cut each time a special hair. I came easily, because my sister is a hairdresser.

you once said that you tend to convenience.
convenience? If it runs well, it is quickly satisfied. And one gets the feeling that a lot of the alone is. For me it was so. At some point, I’m “uf d Schnurre gheit” and didn’t realize that it is not as easy as I thought. I played and had to give Gas so it went up again.

you Have missed because of their setbacks in a larger career?
It probably would have been a Transfer abroad is possible. But Yes, maybe it was also the determination that I am so long in the FCZ.

Mönchengladbach was 2014ein serious issue for you, Hertha Berlin, it was also once, and in the summer of 2018, Urs Fischer wanted to get to Union Berlin. If sent today look at the Bundesliga, don’t you think then:As I could be?
Clearly, I have the thoughts: It would have been cool … The first two offers were not too early, I felt ready yet, and I wanted to assert myself first in Zurich right. I am also one who has something to fear of the New. And there were examples of players that went early abroad, and returned the same day and at the worse Clubs landed. This scared me a bit. But I remained always happy in Zurich – in the city in which I grew up.

What is the FCZ for you?
This is the Club that gave me the opportunity to be a professional. I’ve been here so long – since I was 12. Earlier I looked at the training of the 1. Team and always knew: I want to go. It is just an awesome Club.

Would you stand in the South stand, if you would not play?
I would Probably be too old. I would sit on the East stand because I want to look at the Match objectively. In the curve, one sees little of the game.

And as a viewer, you would look like a Marco Schönbächler?
I would like to see bächler always play. (laughs)

What do you like about your game?
I’m always to the front. If I have the Ball: always to the front. Even under distress, I don’t like to play.

you Quit in the FCZ your career?
I’m soon to be 30, the contract expires after a year. Then I’m 31. It depends on how my next contract at the FCZ looks like.

What contract would you give yourself?
Five years, good wage …

… a regular place warranty?
want to do That anyway, because all the people play me see. And a follow-up Treaty to the FCZ I would give it to me the same. (laughs out loud)

As the offensive player appears for the Interview, stroking his Hand over the shortly cut hair, and says: “If I had known I was being photographed, I would have gone to the hairdresser.” And later, when he’s talking about criticism of the team, he says: “The journalists write crap. And we play together from time to time take a crap.” Then he laughs.

Schönbächler, the on 11. January 30, is FCZler through and through. He came as a Junior from Urdorf, made his debut in 2006/07 under Lucien Favre in the first team and is in 2019 still there.
