“Is the match against England the most important of my life? I hope you can ask me the same question again in a week.” Word of Murat Yakintechnical commissioner of the Swiss who tomorrow (6pm) will challenge the Three Lions in the quarter-finals of the Europeans of Germany. An undeniably important moment in the history of the Swiss national team, which after having knocked out Italy in the round of 16 against all odds intends to keep the Euro 2024 dream alive also against Gareth Southgate’s team.
On the eve of the big match against the English, the 49-year-old coach from Basel continued: “We don’t know what England have in mind. They have enough quality in their team to play a successful quarter-final.” But at the same time, the Swiss national team coach wants to focus on the own strengths: “We are in good shape and we are ready to upset good teams. We won against the European champions and we played well against the hosts. Why not create big problems for England too?”, the words reported by the Federation’s channels.
