The time to pull yourself together

The time to pull yourself together


On this evening of Romand derby, the Servette FC must regain control. With a new draw on Saturday against GC, the Genevans disappointed again before facing Sion on Tuesday at the Tourbillon stadium (8:30 p.m.). Thomas Häberli, strongly criticized by fans for his choices, is on the grill.

The perf ‘of the last match

What to say, if not that Servette finally thought of winning … But finally lost everything? Not in an accounting term no, because the draw that was torn off has made it possible to stay at the top of the ranking, leaving behind Lausanne. Nevertheless, Servette did not seem to put the second after opening the scoring by the inevitable Dereck Kutesa. Despite a goal canceled for Steve Rouiller, the garnet did not know how to use this momentum to score. Worse, they conceded a avoidable goal of GC in a completely apathetic defense.

The form of the opponent

FC Sion lost one of its pillars this winter, defender Joel Schmied. And since the resumption of the championship in January, it’s worse than Servette: 3 games for 3 defeats, including a plummeted in front of a Basel FC more than attractive. Despite a burst of pride against FC Lugano after two games without scoring too much (only 2 goals), FC Sion woke up with two goals and the draw that was held until the last minutes.

However, a questionable fault in the surface will have been right with the men of Didier Tholot, suspended and absent from the bench against Servette. It was Grgic, a former Sedun, who marked the penalty of victory for Lugano. Cruel.

Servettians to follow

The two recruits, Joseph Nonge and Alioune Ndoye? Winter recruits from Servette FC, they are young and full of resources to resell. And at a time when Servette patina frankly, their tenure would be more than welcome to give new blood in the midfield and on the front of the attack. Also to simply see their supposed talent in a reality on the ground.

Obviously, it is not in a match that things will be solved, but there is an interest at Thomas Häberli to run the workforce and involve the most player in the rotation while the infirmary displays very full.

Tuesday’s match at the Tourbillon stadium is important. The FC Sion is at most bad at the start of the year, more reason to garner confidence. But this speech was similar before facing Yverdon, then GC. So beware of the (bad) surprise …
