A week after losing in Thun in incredible circumstances, the leader is expected this Friday in Schaffhausen. For the coach of La Maladière, it is an opportunity to rectify the situation.
Passionate coach Andrea Binotto, who lives his matches intensely, instilled a style in Xamax.

In Thun, NE Xamax conceded six days ago theand reverses le more mortifying than it is (3-2), by showing itself unable to manage an advantage of two goals quickly acquired. But the Maladière club did not lose everything since it was able to keep its leader’s chair thanks to the points lost by Winterthur against Aarau during the same 8th day.
Remaining on two successive failures on the move, the Neuchâtelois have the opportunity to rectify the situation this Friday evening in Schaffhausen (where the visitors bowed during their last three visits).
Andrea Binotto, how do you recover from a defeat as hallucinating as the one conceded at the Stockhorn Arena?
With a rested head, it is less hallucinating than it seems. We died when Thun woke up. It’s not that we saw each other too good-looking. At the end of an English week which had offered us opponents each time strong, I felt the team tired, we have ends par payis this accumulation of effort. Speaking of the evolution of the score, we had experienced the opposite phenomenon at the beginning of the season when led 2-0 at halftime, we had won 4-2 against Aarau. There, for the caccount, cit had been really amazing!
“Longitudinally, the team which will have the most extensive bench should succeed in extricating itself from the mass”
What does this particularly inconstant FC Schaffhausen inspire you?
It is a team with serious offensive arguments but which is still looking for defensive stability. It’s up to us to show that if we want to remain a leader, we I know must from bring something back.
Apart from Kriens, already relegated to seven points from the 9th place occupied by Yverdon, cthe championship de Challenge League seems tighter and more indecisive than ever …
This is indeed the case. No one seems able to win everything and walk the championship as Lausanne had done two years ago. I rather see five, six or even seven formations which are equal, with different strengths and weaknesses. Along the length, l‘teamwhoever has the most supplied bench should succeed in extricating himself fromand the masses.
“A new dynamic has started. There was a growing confidence of the group in relation to its potential ”
Compared to the spring Xamax, who had to wait until the last day to escape, and the one you’re training today, what has changed the most?
With the arrival of new players, a new dynamic has started. There are had a growing confidence in the group in relation to its potential. We also work differently when we are not in an emergency.
If Xamax, in a few hours, were to lead 2-0 away again, would you be satisfied or rather worried, considering what happened in Thun?
I will retrys gladly exercise. I would therefore be delighted if Xamax could again lead 2-0… And to go further, si could reproduce such a good start during eachthat game this season, I will signs even right away! (Laughs)
