The Young Boys Chronicle
Player ratings24 Jul 2028
Darian Maleš runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Djibril Comert
44 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Young Boys lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market24 Jul 2028
Dario Marzino has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Young Boys they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Squad24 Jul 2028
Real improvement from Ben Ahmed Kohili at Young Boys
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ben Ahmed Kohili is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Match22 Jul 2028
The wait goes on for Young Boys
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Squad24 Jul 2028
Joël Monteiro has improved at 28, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
Squad24 Jul 2028
Words at Young Boys training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alvyn Sanches is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
Graduation day at Young Boys
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

One of our own: Philipp Aebischer joins the Young Boys first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Philipp Aebischer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Young Boys promote Nico Benito from within
- Market Young Boys promote Loris Ndoye from within
- Match Young Boys and Vaduz take a point apiece
