Ghanaian Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi Named to Swiss Super League Team of the Season

Ghanaian goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi has been named to the Swiss Super League Team of the Season for the 2022-23 season.

Ati-Zigi, who plays for FC St. Gallen, was voted in by his fellow players and coaches. He is the first Ghanaian to be named to the team of the season since 2016.

Ati-Zigi had a stellar season for St. Gallen, keeping 10 clean sheets in 30 appearances. He also made a league-high 101 saves.

Despite his impressive individual numbers, St. Gallen finished the season in sixth place, missing out on European qualification.

However, Ati-Zigi's performances have not gone unnoticed. He has been linked with a move to a number of clubs in Europe, including English Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Ati-Zigi is a rising star in the world of goalkeeping. He is a talented shot-stopper with excellent reflexes and positioning. He is also very good with his feet, which allows him to play out from the back.

Ati-Zigi is a valuable asset to both St. Gallen and the Ghana national team. He is a key part of the team's future and will be looking to build on his success in the coming years.

Ati-Zigi's Perplexing Season

Ati-Zigi's inclusion in the Swiss Super League Team of the Season is a testament to his individual talent. However, his season as a whole was somewhat perplexing.

Ati-Zigi faced a league-high 146 shots this season, and he saved 103 of them, which is an impressive 70% save rate. However, he also conceded a whopping 44 goals in just 30 games, which is the third most in the league.

So, how can a goalkeeper who made so many saves also concede so many goals?

There are a few possible explanations. First, St. Gallen's defense was not very good this season. They conceded 62 goals in 30 games, which is the second most in the league. This put a lot of pressure on Ati-Zigi, and he was not always able to bail them out.

Second, Ati-Zigi made some mistakes this season. He was caught out of position a few times, and he also made some poor decisions in goal. These mistakes led to goals, and they contributed to St. Gallen's high goals against total.

Despite his mistakes, Ati-Zigi still had a good season. He showed that he is a talented goalkeeper with a lot of potential. He will be looking to improve his decision-making next season and help St. Gallen improve their defense.
