Despite a false start to the season, Basel coach Sforza wants nothing to do with a crisis – sport

6 matches, 7 points, a goal difference of 9 to 9: After the first 6 Super League championship matches, FC Basel is in worse shape than since 2011. With an 8 point deficit over the Young Boys, already he’s under pressure in Wednesday’s recovery game against Lausanne.

All teams in the Swiss House of Lords can currently claim extenuating circumstances for their less than good performances. The irregular missions due to the many postponements and the breaks of the national team make it difficult to form a team. Teams playing with a new coach, such as FC Basel, are particularly at a disadvantage.

Sforza remains positive

FCB coach Ciriaco Sforza is convinced that his team is currently lacking the rhythm of the game. “We are not yet 100 percent. But I am sure we can play for the championship in the long term. “The Aargau resident wants to take a mid-term balance at Christmas.

Until then, FCB will play 8 more games and they will know better what their position is and where the truth is, closer to the strong first half against the Young Boys or the uninspired second agreement. By the way, the 2011/12 season proves that a failed start doesn’t have to be a drama: under Heiko Vogel, Basel won the championship with a 20-point lead.
