"It was embarrassing" – the FCB is dismantled by Feyenoord and loses its third friendly match in a row – Regionalsport (BZ) – Sport

It's easy. And too fast. At the 2nd and 62nd minute, Robin van Persie can hit almost unhindered. At first goal the Dutch superstar of Feyenoord Rotterdam is completely free in front of the goal of FC Basel and can einköpfen. In his second goal, a slight body thrill is enough to hook Raoul Petretta and shoot the ball in the lower left corner.

But not only the former Manchester United star can meet in the FCB's last friendly match. Shortly before the break, Steven Berghuis takes advantage of a major mistake by FCB goaltender Jonas Omlin. Eric Botteghin and Tony Vilhena can still score goals. In the end, so it's 0: 5 from Basel's point of view. And the worst thing is: it's won.

The double top did not work

The Baslers are absolutely unstable on the defensive, Omlin's uncertainty has an additional effect on his front-runners. And as the defense is open, the offensive is so unimaginative. It is significant that the left-back Blas Riveros is the most prominent player and that he can score the most dangerous finishes of all the Baselers.

However, Albion Ajeti and Ricky van Wolfswinkel, who act as two leaders, fail. And even though Geoffroy Serey is still one of the best Basler, FCB does not have access to the game at any time.

"It was embarrassing"

As clear as the result after the match The words of FCB head coach, Raphael Wicky: "Today, nothing n? was good. It was embarrassing, it was disappointing and it was not FCB worthy of what we showed. "Perhaps this result and the performance that led to it, but always at the right time, will be completely different until the season begins in a week

How did it come to this performance, Wicky "could not explain so soon after the match. "It is clear, however, that we missed everything that makes the game of football: passion, will to run and intensity against the ball." If you do not have all this in your game and you're a good opponent, come on, summoned a visibly upset Wicky. It does not say anything to the cabin crew: "It's better as well."

For FCB, it's the third straight loss (Tuesday against Wolverhampton and Friday afternoon against Aarau). Of course, the results in friendly matches are not too high, but the way you lost those games is worrying. Concern that the FCB can start successfully in the season. And fear that this FCB could be dangerous for the main competitor YB. All the more so that the Bernese could easily impose 3-0 against Feyenoord.
