The Young Boys already have the opportunity on Wednesday to correct their poor start to the season. The Bernese will play against Servette in Geneva at 8.30 pm.
After his unsuccessful debut as YB coach, Patrick Rahmen tried to find the right balance between criticism and composure. He did not want to get involved in discussions about individual performances or possible necessary reinforcements after the 2-1 defeat against FC Sion. The home defeat does not call everything into question. "But of course we imagined a different start. The defeat is absolutely bad."
Because the league has given Bern a weekend off between the two Champions League play-off matches, YB can play their 5th round match this Wednesday. As Rahmen admits, this will benefit them twice over. He is not unhappy that his team can react to the "bitter defeat" just three days later. Or at least be allowed to try.
It is clear to Rahmen that the champions must improve in order to "start scoring points" in the two upcoming away games this week. On Wednesday evening, Servette, the well-established cup winners who started the season with a win in Lucerne, await and on Sunday, FC St. Gallen, who are strong at home.
