Player ratings

Alan Virginius runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 35. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Young Boys's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Young Boys has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Young Boys

Alvyn Sanches was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

St. Gallen watching Tanguy Zoukrou

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Young Boys have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match

Young Boys come up short against Sion

Sion left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at Young Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gregory Wüthrich 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Young Boys

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Young Boys count the cost of losing Steven Rodriguez

44 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Lewin Blum gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Alan Virginius runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Lugano come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Young Boys did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Cédric Zesiger stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cédric Zesiger and Young Boys agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Kevin Mbabu is a Young Boys player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

The Marvin Keller conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: VfB Stuttgart will make the call about Marvin Keller this week. Young Boys have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Alvyn Sanches falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Kevin Mbabu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Young Boys this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Young Boys come up short against Zurich

Zurich left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Marvin Keller gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
