Has his hands full: FCB boss David Degen.

It must be a great spectacle to see David Degen in the box. Emotional is just an understatement. But against Servette the usually ubiquitous FCB president is missing. A business meeting that has been planned for a long time prevents Degen from attending.

No one will ever know if the furniture would have broken if he had seen the match in the stadium. It is not excluded. Because Degen’s FCB is in an alarmingly poor state and has little chance of really getting stuck in the red lantern. Ten games, five points. It is the record of a relegated team.

Degen is also aware of this. During the national team’s break, he spoke about the relegation battle. If he had been in the stadium against Servette, he would have suspected evil from the start. First, Dereck Kutesa shoots a direct shot from seven meters over the bar, after which Chris Bedia shoots an innocent header from the best position into the gloves of FCB goalkeeper Marwin Hitz.

Bazlers without ideas

Degen is also said to be annoyed by the team’s shockingly unimaginative attacking play, and perhaps surprised by the line-up. Heiko Vogel puts Taulant Xhaka in sixth place and Frei and Veiga in eight places.

The president would probably have been irritated by Veiga. The millionaire looks for the finish after a counterattack instead of serving the completely detached Thierno Barry. Maybe because Veiga has in mind the bad luck his teammate has had in recent weeks. Maybe because he’s just too selfish.

Degen would have been surprised that René Weiler remained in the dressing room after the break. The Servette coach arrives in poor health and has to hand over the reins to his assistant Bojan Dimic after the restart.

Servette deserved victory

It has no effect on the game. Servette remains the better team and is rewarded with the well-deserved away win. Yoan Severin takes the lead after a header from Antunes and most of the 20,000 in the Joggeli are served. The team from Basel is already 18 (!) points behind leader FCZ.

And higher in the box rank? For once, David Degen is not there. But his predecessor Bernhard Burgener. He is shown counting his money in his wallet. What is the ex-boss thinking right now?
