FCB has played four games since the last break in the championship, resulting in nine points. Before the next break in the Super League there is now the away game at Yverdon Sport FC. If Fabio Celestini’s team manages to successfully master this task, they would have an impressive average of 2.4 points from the five games between the breaks and they would be at the top of the table for a few hours.
With this goal, Rotblau is now traveling to the southern tip of Lake Neuchâtel. Even though Yverdon Sport recently suffered two defeats, it should be a challenging task for FCB. The Vaudois have been particularly convincing at home and Celestini gave the reasons during the preview interview as to why, in his opinion, it is so difficult to score points at the Stade Municipal: “This team is usually very deep and compact with nine players behind the ball. At the same time But it is also strong in transition play and has players who can hit dangerous crosses. We will have to press hard so that our opponents cannot develop their playing qualities. An early tour would definitely be helpful.” That was definitely the case in the two wins against FC Winterthur.
Leroy, Adjetey and Sigua back
Compared to last Saturday’s game, the FCB coach has three more players available: on the one hand, Léo Leroy has served his ban and on the other hand, two recently injured players, Gabriel Sigua and Jonas Adjetey, are returning. With the return of the Ghanaian, Celestini has more options in defense and thus also in the choice of playing system, although this plays a secondary role for him anyway: “We have been with a 3-4-3 since the beginning of the season, with a 4th -3-3 and started with a 4-2-3-1. We won and lost games with all systems. The game idea is what matters.”
And most importantly, ultimately, the result anyway. And with these, Rotblau has recently impressed: “Compared to last season, we are much more consistent. We were also able to react to the defeat against YB in the next game. I think that’s a good signal for our development,” says Celestini. So that this picture doesn’t develop any cracks that can’t be changed for about two weeks, the next victory would have to follow. For around two hours, this would produce a picture that would delight all FCB fans; namely a table with FCB as the leader. And a secure ranking in the top 3 for around two weeks. It would be a nice confirmation of a new consistency.
