Die Vision von David Degen scheint klar: Der FCB soll einer der führenden Ausbildungsvereine in Europa werden. 👶⚽️ Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, sind laut Degen allerdings noch einige Hürden zu nehmen:
💬 "Wir müssen akribisch an der Mentalität arbeiten. In der Schweiz wissen am Schluss viele Spieler nicht, dass sie auf dem Platz um jeden Zentimeter kämpfen müssen, weil es ihnen zum Teil einfach zu gut geht. Oft bringen sie die letzte Konsequenz nicht mit, um «hundsverrecke» Profifussballer werden zu wollen."
Was meint ihr dazu? 🤔

Number four in our Niki Hasler AG Easter calendar is this elegant Ferrari 488 Pista that’s currently available with us.
The Ferrari 488 Pista was unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show as the final car in Ferrari’s series of limited-edition V8 mid-engined super sports cars. It is powered by the most powerful V8 engine ever built in Maranello, which was honoured with the „International Engine of the Year Award“ for the fourth time in a row in 2019. The 3.9-litre, twin turbocharged V8 engine delivers a breathtaking 720 hp, which corresponds to a 50 hp increase in power compared to the 488 GTB.
The experience and technologies gained with the 488 Challenge and 488 GTE on the world’s racetracks has been transferred into a road car with the 488 Pista. This includes the aerodynamic design with the S-duct-channel derived from Formula 1 at the front and the rear diffuser, which it shares with the 488 GTE. Side Slip Control increases driving safety and the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer supports the braking feel during sporty driving.
Our Ferrari 488 Pista is painted in Argento Nurburgring with a gorgeous leather interior in Blu Sterling and stitching in Grigio Scuro. The Scuderia shields were omitted in favour of elegance and the brake calipers were chosen in Grigio Silverstone. The entire engine bay, front spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirts and side air intakes are made of carbon fibre.
It was delivered new by us, has always been maintained by us and is offered with a low mileage of 8’800 km and including a second set of 20-inch, single piece carbon fibre wheels.

The Shakers were a religious group for whom design and architecture were an expression of beliefs surrounding community, labour and social equality. Our new exhibition »The Shakers: A World in the Making« examines how this resulted in meticulously crafted furniture and vernacular architecture that continue to resonate centuries later.

Meet today’s spotlight in our Niki Hasler AG Easter calendar, our immaculate Ferrari 365 GTB/4.
The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 presented at the 1968 Paris Motor Show was soon dubbed the „Daytona“ in memory of Scuderia Ferrari’s triple victory in the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. It featured the latest development of Gioacchino Colombo’s famous V12 engine, the Tipo 251, with 4,390 cc. With a compression ratio of 9:1, dry sump lubrication and six Weber carburettors, it produced 352 hp at 7,500 rpm.
Our beautiful 365 GTB/4 „Daytona“ is characterised by a very well-documented history, matching colours and matching numbers and the valuable Ferrari Classiche certification.
It was completed at the factory in Maranello on 29. October 1973 in the colour combination Rosso Chiaro 20-R-190 Salchi and the leather interior in Beige VM 3218 Connolly. Only 305 examples of the 365 GTB/4 were painted in this colour. The vehicle was delivered to its first owner in Geneva on 1. December 1973 through S.A.V.A.F.
This 365 GTB/4 always remained in Swiss hands and was always carefully driven and maintained by its owners, with a guaranteed mileage of 35,000 kilometres.
