Match

Chastening afternoon for Young Boys

A 0‑3 beating by St. Gallen was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Stefan Bajčetić is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Young Boys is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Selvi says Young Boys went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

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.

Squad

A row about effort at Young Boys

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lukas Ullrich was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

A falling-out at Young Boys

Narcis Ilaş and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Hugo Picard 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.

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

Philipp Comert signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Philipp Comert and Young Boys agree another 5 years.

In brief

  • The dugout When it matters, Kevin Schade plays
  • Loan watch 8 goals on loan for Linus Thieler

Market

Miguel Figueiredo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Young Boys, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Sidney Raebiger is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Young Boys is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words at Young Boys training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukas Ullrich 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.

Player ratings

Justin Kumi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words exchanged at Young Boys

Gregg Op de Beeck and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Young Boys find a way past Sion

Sion made Young Boys work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Philipp Comert signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Philipp Comert and Young Boys agree another 5 years.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Konstantinos Karetsas

A mark of 7.89, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

Remo Schär: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.
