“Can’t always stand behind him”: FCB Degen is increasing the pressure on coach Vogel

FC Basel also delivered a performance in the Stade de la Tuilière that raised questions. There are no answers immediately after the 3-0 defeat in the basement match at Lausanne-Sport. Neither players nor coach Heiko Vogel appear in front of the microphones immediately after the fourth defeat in a row.

Then – after a loud cabin sermon from Heiko Vogel – one of the FCB players presents himself: Fabian Frei. And it is a memorable interview of the 34-year-old on the TV channel Blue. “I’m open to free tips, I’m just empty at the moment.” The time of great matches and big victories is really over at Basel, says Frei.

The veteran then also gives an insight into the Basel hut. «The old coach (Timo Schultz, editor’s note.) had tried a cuddle course. But now the whip must come.”

It is at least questionable whether this whip is still used by Heiko Vogel. FCB boss David Degen chose clear words in his conversation with Blue during the break. At that moment, the bottom of the Super League were 0-1 behind. Of course, birds were already a problem there. “We stand behind Heiko. But at the end of the day we need results, signs, points – they have to come at some point,” says Degen. “Otherwise we can’t always stand behind him and have his back.” The 40-year-old also made it clear: “There is no ultimatum.”

0 goals scored, 10 against

Degen did not spare his criticism when it came to FCB’s performance in the first 45 minutes. “That was too little, certainly too little. You have to concentrate on defense. If you don’t concede a goal, you at least go home with a point.” Rotblau is currently conceding a lot of goals: three against Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy, three against YB, one against Servette and now three against Lausanne. zero goals were scored. Heiko Vogel was on the coaching bench for all these matches. The question arises: how much longer? (jaap/kat)
