Fear of the bank manager prevails

Two wins in the next two games. And no math is needed for that. Then it doesn’t matter what the competition does. But YB won’t beat the first “chaser” Servette next Saturday, everything can be postponed. The Geneva would remain in the (theoretical) race. Lucerne and Lugano too, depending on their own results. Yes, even St. Gallen and Basel, if they win.

Nobody celebrates a quasi-championship. Never

And then the very “disgusting” case threatens: the bank master! Because YB could probably win against GC in a week Tuesday, but wouldn’t be champion right now. That would only happen if Servette and Lucerne didn’t win on Wednesday and Thursday. And even Lugano could stay in the race if YB loses to Servette in advance and the Ticinesi win their two games. They would then be 18 points behind YB with six games remaining. In such a case of quasi-championship, however, there is no celebration. Nowhere. Never.

But are these calculations interesting for the players at all? Christian Fassnacht says: “Somewhere there is definitely a calculation. However: I have three yellow cards. But I don’t play tactics either.” Means: Fassnacht doesn’t look like getting the fourth yellow card, which entails a suspension, in game x, so he’s suspended in game y – then eligible to play again in game z.

bank master? D rather not

He continues: “I hope we win the title one day. In the game after that, in the game after that. We take it as it comes. But above all I hope that we can do it alone, on the field. Sofameister is not necessarily what you want.” Captain Fabian Lustenberger, on the other hand, says: “I’ve never experienced it on the bench. That’s why I don’t even know what it’s like…” But the man from Lucerne also thinks: “It’s also about emotions. And they would certainly be higher if we can do it directly on the field. Definitely.”

As always, trainer Raphael Wicky remains very non-committal: «Ultimately we want to become champions. It’s up to us to play the encounters with concentration. We now know that we will definitely not be there next week. But first we want to beat Servette.”
