Beneficial basement kids? – FC Basel
FC Basel welcomes FC Zürich and Winterthur this week.
(-tu). For FC Basel, a 0-0 draw in Geneva, like on Sunday, “wouldn’t be so bad in itself,” says head coach Alex Frei in front of the Blue TV camera after his team’s Super League match against second-placed Servette, who was still undefeated at home . To add, “But in our situation, it’s not terribly conducive.” Seventh place, one game fewer eleven points behind Young Boys Bern: Especially after the leaders Young Boys Bern: Especially after the draw in western Switzerland, wins in home duels with the basement duo are a must for FCB – against champions and lantern bearers FC Zurich ( with the Dane Bo Henriksen as the new coach) on Thursday (8.30 p.m.) and against newly promoted and penultimate FC Winterthur on Sunday (2.15 p.m.).
So far, Frei has not managed to bring consistency to the young Basel ensemble. Due to the double burden of championship and conference league, the team manager rotates vigorously. In Geneva, he broke off the attempt with a three-man defense after half-time. After an interlude as a bench presser, captain Fabian Frei made it back into the starting XI twice – and explained to Blick: “We have to work hard for every point.” The attacker Ádám Szalai was not even in the Bebbi squad recently.
