Michel Aebischer, what’s wrong with YB?
Michel Aebischer: Nothing bad. It is a difficult phase in which the results are not perfect and neither are the performances. But there are always more negative phases, as we have seen again and again in the last few seasons. We try to get out of this. And we will get out of this too.
Villarreal is in a similar crisis of results: only one win from the last five games. Does an opponent come at the right time with these problems – or is it a stupid moment?
It is in the nature of things that our opponents in the Champions League are superior to YB on paper, regardless of whether a team has a negative streak or not. There is no good or bad time. I don’t know if it would have been better if Villarreal had won five straight wins. Barely …
What lessons did you learn from the 1: 4 against the Spaniards when you were an equal and came in in the end?
We weren’t good in the beginning, and then a team at the top international level makes a lot out of little. Villarreal was extremely efficient. We can learn a lot from that.
The goalie out, the central defense decimated, the center forward injured or out of shape. And what about in the central midfield? Not everything is going smoothly when you see that Kiki Martins is taken out twice during the break.
That’s correct. Not everything is optimal in midfield either. Everyone has to start with themselves and bring their performance to the field. And if one is missing, there is room for the next one who has been waiting for his chance. As a team, we have to master the challenge with so many injured people.
Is the word «crisis summit» applicable to this game?
No not at all. We lost two games in which we were sometimes better and had a lot of chances. From the YB point of view, it is not a crisis summit. We’re playing in the premier league and we’re excited about this game.
But a result crisis, as coach David Wagner also sees it.
It can be said like this. Because we need a lot of chances to score and we gave away goals too easily.
Villarreal? It was seen that you can keep up. Respect yeah But nothing more. Or?
That’s how you can see it. They are class, have won the Europa League. But we can keep up with our offensive power and with such a top team if we reach our limits. The first leg showed that. And that makes us feel positive. Even if it is of course very difficult.
