“I’ll tell the players it’s Thursday”

It’s an enlightened game. On a Thursday. And FCB is successful. It has happened more often this season, but only in the Conference League, where FCB are sensationally in the semi-finals.

In the league, Basel is lagging behind its own claims. Heiko Vogel (47) knows that too. After 82 minutes, the interim coach also appeared under pressure when Vogel was warned for gesturing wildly. After the match, there is some uncertainty as to whether the German will be suspended in Winterthur on Sunday.

The coach himself gives the innocent lamb. “My name is rabbit. I don’t know anything,” said Vogel. “But I have to calm down.” It soon becomes clear: Vogel will not be missing this weekend, although he has already picked up four yellow cards – albeit in different competitions.

53 competitive games this season

After beating the penultimate team, FCB can look ahead again in the competition. Vogel does not want to know anything about second place (yet). He does not look up or down at the table. “We try to win every game. It won’t always be possible, but we’ll do our best.”

Vogel is happy that there is no English week for once. Boredom is probably breaking out now, he jokes. The problem of many games is more of a mental and less of a physical strain. According to the coach, FCB is the team with the most competitive matches in Europe this season. There are 53 so far, with at least eight more to come. Two of them against Fiorentina in the semi-finals of the Conference League.

Silent all-clear in case of heat

Will goalkeeper Marwin Hitz (35) be fit again in two weeks for the first leg? Friday’s MRI will shed light on the hamstring injury. Bird is optimistic. Hitz is a super reflective person with a lot of body awareness and experience. “It can’t be that bad, since he was already halfway there. I think he made the jump in time.”

The East Swiss goalkeeper was in any case missing against the bottom of the table in Winterthur on Sunday. The FCB must also win on the Schützenwiese to make up more ground in the battle for the European Cup places. Vogel’s tactics for Sunday: “I’ll tell the players it’s Thursday.”
