Now Xamax also sets the FCZ under pressure

A jump. A Scream. A Radiation. A Fist. That's it! Trainer Stéphane Henchoz shows the emotions of a winner. Be Xamax has just defeated YB 1:0, the master who has not lost before this Monday's a League game. Has also scored 60 Times in a row in the Super League is always at least a goal. The new Burger to send strong signals to Zurich: remove still more of GC, having the 1:1 against Thun, already nine points behind barrage-rank 9 – when only six outstanding rounds. And: The FCZ has only two points of Reserve on Xamax.

Henchoz says: "We focus only on it, to reach the Barrage." But in him, the battle lust has been awakened. This has certainly to do with the fact that the President wants him starting in the summer. In March, Christian Binggeli decided to put on Joël Magnin, the Coach of the U-21 of YB. Since then, Henchoz limited communication with Binggeli only on the bare necessities. But a cancellation was not an Option, even though friends asked him: "Why are you doing this to yourself?" His answer: "Because I was never one who quickly gave up. Otherwise I would have brought it as a player never to such a career."

Henchoz makes advertising

In February rose to 44-Year-old by the assistant to the boss at Xamax. And once the Team was different than in the first half of the season, a stable, persistent. In 11 Games under Henchoz’ guide 19 points came together. Henchoz might be upset about Binggeli – the remaining weeks in office, he looks quite well as a personal Chance to promote, if he keeps Xamax in Super League.

He talks of a "Mission" that he has to perform and he obviously Fun. Earlier Henchoz was a warhorse an uncompromising Defence, today he is a coach who taught his team to defend in solidarity. And says before the Match against YB: "Why we should have no Chance? I see the game as an opportunity to show something Good."

The Bernese best riding on this Easter Monday in new castle almost a home game, the La Maladière, and thanks to about 6000 YB-supporters of a yellow-and-black dress. There is a wonderful Ambiance in the 12000 spectators, sold-out stadium. "May the Better man win," shouts the Speaker in the microphone. YB was impressive this season, but up to the break, the team looks as if they would have gone in the extension of the most celebrations. There is much that has been part of the standard program: lightness, sense of purpose, the Power is so lacking. And the opportunities in the second half, lack any determination. Loris Benito summarizes it this way: "We might have three hours of play: A goal we would not have shot today."

Xamax has not the means to playfully boast. But Xamax proves morality and desire not to conquer. And after 73 minutes, the host benefits from the fact that neither Steve von Bergen is still Mohamed Ali Camara are concentrated enough. The result: Raphaël Nuzzolo prepares, Kemal Ademi successfully completes. For Nuzzolo, it is the 14. Assist this season, for Ademi, the goal of the day for 150 seconds after coming off the bench. However, he tears after the Jersey from the body, looks Yellow and is thus locked against GC. "There are so many emotions came together, as I have not thought about much," says Ademi, "but Yes, it was stupid of me."

Xamax expected GC

Henchoz forgive him for the action. Over all, this big victory is for him. "The small Xamax beats the large YB," says Nuzzolo and know what triggers this message in the case of GC, the opponent of next Saturday: "At GC you will not have now the best mood. Now they are even more under pressure. And it is not comfortable to play against us."

Xamax can dissociate GC in the direct encounter in four days at twelve points, and the descent of Zurich as well as seal. But Henchoz does not want to speak to researchers: "We would do well to stay on the ground and to work, as we have done against YB."
