Michel Aebischer confirms it: the countdown is well underway for the Swiss team in Doha. 3 days before the match once morest Cameroon, the intensity is increasing more and more in training.
“On Sunday, we worked on the defensive aspect. Today it was the offensive area that was privileged“, explains the Fribourgeois. With his teammates, he also followed the kick-off of this World Cup, and he hopes that Switzerland will find the keys once morest Cameroon as Ecuador knew how to do once morest the Qatar. He does not, however, forget to point out that “Cameroon seems very well armed physically.“
He did not try to contact Jean-Pierre Nsame and Moumi Ngamaleu, his two former Young Boys teammates, whom he will find in the opposing camp on Thursday, “I only congratulated Nsamé for his selection. He did the same.“
“I know my status”
Lined up for 45 minutes last Thursday once morest Ghana, Michel Aebischer knows perfectly well that he will start this World Cup on the bench. “I know my status. I am a substitute. There are players who have 100 selections, I only have 10 (note: 12 exactly). I serve the team. If I have the happiness to play, I will give everything.”
At 25, the Fribourgeois does not intend to cut corners. According to him, climbing the ladder one by one led him where he wanted: holder in one of the 5 major championships. He has been in Bologna since the induction of Thiago Motta, as a right attacking half in a 4-2-3-1 organization.
Scorer once morest Sassuolo 2 days before getting on the plane for Doha, Michel Aebischer was able to convince the former Barcelona, Inter and PSG player to find his place in a team that has won 5 of its last 6 matches .
Find his place
He intends to savor his first experience in a major tournament. In his heart of hearts, he knows that he is part of the future of this Swiss team. “You can be very ambitious even taking just one step at a time“, he advances with a certain wisdom.
