Bitter bankruptcy in Winterthur: Innocent appearance upsets Servette coach Weiler

René Weiler does not like what his team shows in Winterthur.

Servette has been in top form for weeks, has suffered only one defeat in the last 21 matches (1:2 in Yverdon) and was level with champion Young Boys at the top of the rankings before the international break. In Winterthur, coach René Weiler’s (50) team had the opportunity to overtake YB. But that went completely wrong, Servette died beautifully on the Schützenwiese.

Particularly bitter: Servette missed the opportunity to become leader of the Super League for the first time since August 2, 2003 (!) in Winterthur. The Stade de Genève had just been completed.

A penalty is the only one hundred percent chance

66 percent possession, 584:322 passes played, 10:1 corners, twelve shots – but only one on target. In addition, a foul penalty from winter newcomer Takuma Nishimura (27) followed shortly after halftime. However, it was also the only 100 percent chance for Geneva. Furthermore, there was a lot of pushing with the ball and the direct route to the Winti box was rarely sought. There was too much small-small, you had the impression that the Servette frogs, intoxicated by their possession of the ball, wanted to combine the ball into the goal instead of just shooting.

That also irritated Servette coach René Weiler (50) a bit. “We simply weren’t dangerous enough, didn’t shoot enough on target and weren’t determined enough. We played way too much around the 16 mark.” This is how Servette gambles away the championship.

“Wipe your mouth and move on”

The fact is that with such ideas the Geneva team will not win their first championship title in 25 years, which would be the 18th in the club’s history. Even though Joël Mall (32) didn’t think the performance was that bad. ‘We didn’t play a bad game. The victory was not really easy for Winti, but they defended with solidarity and scored after a counter-attack. In the end it was very unfortunate for us,” the Cypriot national goalkeeper explained. “The defeat hurts. Now it’s time to wipe your mouth and move on. But defeat will not bring us back.”

The people of Geneva cannot lower their heads. After all, it is not only the first championship in a quarter of a century that is still possible for the Weiler team. You can also secure the second double in the club’s history, after 1979. However, in the cup semi-final (April 28) you have to return to Winterthur.
