Maybe everything is incredible because everything is fragile. This season which ends with no load and which feeds the imagination of its improbable scenarios is there, like a curiosity which surprises day after day. And even during the matches.
Everything seems possible, especially the unexpected. Like seeing an efficient Servette lead 2-0 at Lucerne at break, before breaking down in five minutes to concede a new draw, the third in three games since the resumption.
Kyei got 3-0 at the end of the shoe
All the garnet disarray holds in these five minutes which allowed the Lucernois to equalize. Twice, Margiotta came up. A head after a stop by Frick, an awesome lob then. Two gestures that say one thing: Celestini has a class scorer, which we do not always see, but who knows how to be there at the right time, in the right place and with the right gesture as a bonus.
From there to say that this is what is missing in Servette, there is only one step. Kone and Kyei, the two peaks of Geiger 4-4-2, are part of a collective, it’s true. They are invaluable in back to goal play, precisely to find teammates in the center line or to shift to the sides.
In Sion, it was when Tasar leaned on Kone that the surrender of the Ivorian’s chest allowed Cognat to score. This Saturday in Lucerne, it was a “block” of Kyei which enabled Cognat to center for the goal of Cespedes. Then, it was an overflow from Kyei and a perfect center for Cognat that allowed Servette to lead with two lengths ahead, just before the break.
But of the two nominal Servette attackers, we also expect more efficiency when the opportunities arise. Kyei, for example, had the 3-0 ball at the end of the shoe, he made the wrong choice by forgetting his teammates. Kone could have pointed out on a header or by really taking the depth on one or two opportunities: it was not sharp.
Still undefeated
We can always say that if Servette can lead 2-0 at the break in Lucerne with goals from an axial center and a middle of the corridor, he has rich problems and that the problems on the right flank of the defense (where Routis replaced Sauthier), after the break, did not help. Except that Servette does not materialize his highlights, not even eleven against ten against Lugano, and that this deficit of efficiency leaves him with three points in three matches.
Nothing dramatic. Servette is undefeated. He no longer advances with the superb that was his only a few months ago, but he does not lose. All that remains is to return to victory. Against Young Boys, Tuesday evening in Geneva? It would be a good idea for the Garnet.
