The arrival of Roma on Thursday for the Europa League and the trip to Bern on Sunday for the Super League clash against Young Boys: Servette FC is preparing to experience 3 days of madness.
Assured of a European presence after the winter break barring a stunning metamorphosis from Sheriff Tiraspol, the Garnets approach the match against Roma with a free spirit. “But with the ambition to achieve a resultlaughs René Weiler. In a full stadium against a great team, it’s up to us to get the job done, even if the Bern match is of course in the back of my mind.”
“A Lesson in Rome”
The coach and his players first want to erase the memory of the 4-0 in the first leg at the Olimpico, where Servette FC appeared far too “light”. “We took a lesson in Romeconcedes Weiler. We had offered too many spaces. But I am aware that it is difficult to defend well against a team that has so much individual talent.“The Garnet will thus, in all likelihood, be confronted with the Romelu Lukaku-Paulo Dybala duo, demonstrated on Sunday during the 3-1 success against Udinese.
Everything indicates that José Mourinho will line up his typical team, in order to close the 3 goal gap which separates the Romans from Slavia Prague in this group G. It is in fact the goal difference which should decide between the Czechs and the Italians in the fight for 1st place, synonymous with direct access to the round of 16 without going through a round against the 3rd in a Champions League group.
Take care of the artistic note
For its part, Servette FC will be transferred to the Conference League if it does as well as Sheriff Tiraspol against Slavia Prague. At worst, the qualification of the Garnet will be made official on December 14, as the Moldovans should not avoid defeat in Rome.
On Thursday, Weiler will be without Joël Mall, who will not play again until January, Bradley Mazikou, David Douline and Enzo Crivelli. With these absences and the proximity of the clash against YB, Weiler can reserve surprises in his choices for the starting 11. But the Zurich resident would like the SFC’s virtuous series – 7 victories in a row in the Super League and 9 matches without defeat in all competitions since the 4-0 in Rome on October 5 – to continue.
“I see our progress, we play more compactly, there is more solidarity in the team, more creativity toohe congratulates himself. Against Roma, the public can push us towards the feat.”
With why not, the key is a 7th victory on the European scene against a club from one of the 5 major leagues after those against Liverpool in 1971, Athletic Bilbao in 1977, Nancy in 1978, Sochaux in 1980, Zaragoza and Hertha Berlin in 2001.
