Football is not always a straight line. After the discovery Alessandro Vogt (20 years old), which has been firing all woods with FC St-Gall for a few weeks, Swiss football has discovered a new promising element. His names are Marc Giger, he also plays a center-forward, and he also experienced meteoric beginnings at the highest level.

During the 22/23 season, the Helvético-Cameroonnais marked 7 times in 23 1st league games with FC Linth 04. A year later, he found the bottom of the nets in 16 games with FC Paradiso in promotion League 7 times. What convince Schaffhouse to enlist it after simply a few games in the 3rd Swiss division. Giger took his marks there half a year, before exploding a dozen months ago.

Four goals and 4 assists later, his style while dribbling convinced the St-Gilloise union to enlist it. The Brussels suburbs, which revealed the Lausannois Cameron Puertas at the time, had ended. After a few months to adapt, the Zurichois is making his hole there.

At the start of the season, he entered 4 times in the league. Enough to convince his coach Sébastien Pocognoli to register him in extremis on the European lists, a little to everyone’s surprise and that of the player too, thanks to a new rule which makes it possible to replace an injured teammate.

“For him, it’s perfect timing. It will give him a boost for the coming weeks, “said his coach. “I will be able to play in the competition that has made me dream for a child,” smiled the attacker in Het Laatste Nieuws. It was done during the victory of his family 1-3 at the PSV Eindhoven at the opening of the Champions League. The icing on the cake, the Swiss international M21 has played the last 23 minutes.
