Three games, three defeats, 0:7 goals: Vogel’s record after the dismissal of Timo Schultz.
Stefan KreisFootball reporter

October 1998. Bill Clinton is the American president, France is the reigning world champion, Zinedine Zidane is the king of the football world. And Servette wins for the last time in Joggeli. Guy Mathez was FCB coach at the time, Bebbi was just a mediocre club, Servette was on its way to the 17th national title in club history. That was a quarter of a century ago.

But Heiko Vogel (47) does not want to hear much about the congratulations on the victory of the millennium. Instead, the FCB coach downplays Geneva’s strong performance. They lost 1-0 because they conceded a goal after a restart, Vogel says afterwards. “That irritates me because we defended with will and passion.” That Servette had two top chances in the first half through the completely detached Dereck Kutesa (25) and Chris Bedia (27). That the people of Geneva lead the way in the shot statistics with 18:8. The fact that Geneva went down twice and could have won by two or three goals is being liberally ignored.

Shockingly weak performance

And in the front? Vogel also finds surprising words for his team’s shocking lack of ideas and innocent performance. “A little bit” was missing, the Palatinate resident said. “A little mercilessness” at the end. Remarkable statements. Because FCB had virtually no chances to score. Renato Veiga (20) is one of the few who forgives because he shoots directly from the edge of the penalty area instead of serving his better-positioned teammate Thierno Barry (21).

Maybe because Veiga has in mind the bad luck his teammate has had in recent weeks. Maybe because he’s just too selfish. Anyway, after the game, Taulant What it means to wear this jersey.” We have to sit together now and talk about things, said the crowd favorite. “It hurts me. I’m worried. As an older player I try to cheer up, but I’ve never been in a situation like this.”

In 1998, when FCB lost at home to Servette for the last time and fell just short of the top of the table, Xhaka was seven years old.
