Reigning European champion, might Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City hang their feet in the carpet this Wednesday on the synthetic Wankdorf? This is the slightly crazy hope that Young Boys cherish.
On paper, there is no comparison between the Mancunians and the Bernese. Considered the best team in the world with a perfectly oiled team, Pep Guardiola’s team also has the absolute weapon in the person of Erling Haaland. Already a scorer 9 times this season in the Premier League but “mute” during the first two matches of this group stage once morest Red Star and Leipzig, the “Cyborg” will perhaps be the only City player not to be embarrassed by the Wankdorf lawn because of its origins. In Norway, we still play much more on a synthetic than in Switzerland.
“I don’t think synthetic is a real problem.however, advances Raphaël Wicky. Manchester City is a rather young team. And the new generation players have all grown up with artificial turf.“The Bernese coach, however, believes that the feat is possible in front of an audience who will play their role as 12th man as they did once morest Leipzig.

“We can win this game”
“Yes we can win this gamehe said. This will require a certain amount of courage.“This courage which was not lacking once morest Leipzig and in Belgrade.”However, we cannot be satisfied with our record with 1 point in 2 matches, especially following leading 2-1 in the 88th minute in Belgrade.“
Faced with the Mancunians who will have possession and whose great strength according to the Valais technician lies in the ability of all his players to put themselves at the service of the team, the Young Boys will not have to repeat the catastrophic start to the match once morest Leipzig . Facing the Germans, Raphaël Wicky fielded a five-man defense for the first time since his induction in the summer of 2022. It is not aberrant to think that he would be tempted to repeat the experience. Despite the 3-1 defeat, it was considered relevant.
