- Servette finds the championship against Saint-Gall this Saturday, at home, after the disillusionment against Plzen on Wednesday evening.
- Garnets already need a victory to launch their season.
- The point on the current situation with Timo Cognat.
Perhaps nothing is serious, neither the pitfall, nor its foam, only the tumult of the waves, as in the novel of Yukio Mishima: “Jump over the fire. If you jump over it… ”A promise in suspension in the book, it is worth for Servette as for the young boy who will take her momentum. Can garnet, like Shinji, span the danger, in other words grasp their destiny?
Until then, nothing has been spared from Servette, or the best-his idea at least-nor the worst. And it remains, before the arrival of Saint-Gall this Saturday, this pain: The first European match ball was missed against Plzenin bitter circumstances for those who led 2-0 in total after four minutes during the return match.
Jump over the fire, what is it, for Servette? It is daring, before the flames fat. This applies to the club, the players, the coach.

As it stands, the fire is maintained from an elimination in qualification for the Champions League, the circumstances which presided over this disappointment and the Q3 switching in Europa League, where everything remains to be faced with Utrecht, from next Thursday for the first leg, in La Praille.

The fire is less worth for the championship: A defeat last Saturday in Bernbut reduced to ten (expulsion from Mazikou) from the 8the minute. On the other hand, the flames would also cover, already, in the event of a defeat against Saint-Gall.
The fire, his embers, these are these two evictions in the last two games: that of Mazikou in Bern, that of Severin against Plzen, halfway in a safe action, when he already had a yellow card, while Servette was in numerical superiority for three minutes.
The fire, finally, these are these individual bankruptcies, those of Magnin on Wednesday evening, that of Severin for his red, a global defensive feverishness (six goals conceded in two matches, a lot of luck not to have taken it to Plzen).
Thomas Häberli must correct the shot. Already.

It is also the coaching of Thomas Häberli: Magnin in great suffering on Wednesday which is left on the field and is replaced in the 89ethat after having committed the irreparable; the difficulty in defensive control; An eccentric Morandi on the left side, which returns naturally to the middle and a jallow, however promising to this post, which remains on the bench until 93e; The MRAZ scorer released in the 75e; Full axis security concerns, not resolved, no more than clear recovery patterns, too often replaced by long balls.
The fire according to Cognat?

“A nervousness, a big disappointment, something difficult to accept: it was all that I thought. To animal errors, punishment that followed and this applies to the whole team. ”
A meaning for this nervousness that rocked Cognat? “No, just a disappointment,” he says. But it shows that we are not yet 100% ready on our investments and our defensive game. I’m not talking about what happened to Bern, we were quickly ten. But against Plzen, yes, there were defensive errors. Which concern everyone’s behavior. “
The lack of control in the game? “We stay good in possession,” says No. 8. But we have weakened on long balls, in air duels. As usual, there was a debrief. The errors were pointed out. Luck is to be able to bounce right away. Against Saint-Gall this Saturday, against Utrecht then. “
Before Saint-Gall: “We remain serene”
Jump over the fire? “We remain serene, there is no crisis in the group,” says Cognat. Priority is to qualify to play Europe in the fall, but that should not be done at the expense of the championship, ideal. ”

Servette is waiting for Saint-Gall this Saturday at the Stade de Genève. Douline is injured. Mazikou is suspended: French Lilian Njoh23 years old, coming from Salernitana, left side, is qualified. Will he be immediately launched in the bath? And on the other side: Magnin still or Srdanovic? In the axis, in the middle, Fomba should support Cognat. Choices that hire Thomas Häberli. And only one perspective: win.
