Jungfrau Zeitung – A demanding opponent is waiting

FC Thun Bernese Oberland | March 12, 2021

After four games without a win last Saturday, a 1-0 home win against Kriens was a small breakout. Now it is time to confirm this success. Midfielder Daniel Dos Santos will definitely join the first team from the U21.

“It is incredibly important that we were able to set an example in this difficult phase,” said Thun coach Carlos Bernegger about the game we won against SC Kriens last week. “This victory was worth gold in terms of morale.” Bernegger is correspondingly positive about tomorrow’s game against FC Winterthur. Although the Thun coach is tormented by personnel worries. With Castroman, Dzonlagic, Salanovic, Kablan and Rodrigues, Bernegger is missing five injured players. In addition, Havenaar has to serve a suspension against FC Winterthur after four yellow cards. “It is now up to me to find solutions,” says Bernegger. One possibility is to give players from the U21s the chance to prove themselves in the first team. With Daniel Dos Santos, one of the young players was definitely included in the Fanion team today and given a professional contract.

Artificial turf is not an advantage

Due to the precarious conditions on the Schützenwiese, the game Winterthur-Thun will be played in the Bergholz sports park in Wil – on artificial instead of natural grass. However, Bernegger does not see any advantages in favor of FC Thun Berner Oberland in this circumstance. “In addition to natural turf, Winterthur also has an artificial turf field and is used to training there.” The Thun coach expects an even game against a demanding opponent. «Winterthur has a solid, disciplined and counterattack dangerous team with individual qualities. Nonetheless, we want to seize our chances and score points today. ”
