Neuchâtel Xamax only played 1-1 once morest Stade Nyonnais on Friday. Coach Uli Forte can hardly be held back followingwards. Which made him angry.
“The Stade Nyonnais players are very proactive,” Uli Forte began, before adding: “Nyon shouldn’t be in the Challenge League. They should be happy to be there.” Neuchâtel Xamax only played 1-1 once morest the promoted team and has now been winless in seven games (4 draws, 3 defeats) in the Challenge League.
The interesting thing is that Forte’s tirade wasn’t initially regarding his team’s sporting performance. Sure, the frustration due to the lack of positive results from the last one may have certainly played a role.
Why Uli Forte is beside himself
The trigger for the Xamax coach’s violent anger was the incident last spring when Nyon, which had just been denied a license for the Challenge League in the first instance, deliberately did not travel to Brühl SG to play once morest the home team in protest (there was a 3-0 defeat for the boycott).
“Not playing a game is not a sporting ethic,” complained Forte. “They might have at least fielded the B team or the C team… They should have had 20 penalty points.” Meanwhile, Nyon’s coach Christophe Caschili did not want to allow a public dispute.
He reacted somewhat calmly to Forte’s piquant statements: “Forte is an impulsive person, just like me. We have our differences of opinion, but that’s not the point. We argue, but he’s the one who lights the fuse. If the foul is for If the whistle is blown, there will be no scuffle.”
