Praise for CL last-place finish
Coach makes light of 1:6 home debacle
Swiss champions Young Boys Bern suffered a bitter 6-1 home defeat against Italian club Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League on Tuesday. Afterwards, coach Joel Magnin made light of the bitter defeat.
He was not disappointed with his team because "they showed that they were ready", said the 53-year-old, who has been interim coach until the end of the year since Patrick Rahmen was sacked in October.
The first 20 minutes were good, "after that we lacked determination and practically didn't win any more one-on-ones", said Magnin. He is a fan of Atalanta because "a coach has been on board for eight years and has managed to create an incredible collective", said the coach, giving roses to his colleague Gian Piero Gasperini.
Magnin then praised his team for scoring a goal against Atalanta - something no team had managed to do in the four previous Champions League rounds.
"Blick": "That's embarrassing after all"
The Swiss newspaper "Blick" noted "a bit of a whitewash" for five defeats from five games in the "premier class", with Young Boys now bottom of the table. "That's embarrassing after all," says Blick.
