For the 3rd time in the 7th game of the European Championship qualification, Switzerland only played a draw following taking the lead. Nati coach Yakin shouldn’t be an issue (yet).
Recently, FotMob, a Norwegian company that runs a football app, found that Switzerland had the highest ball possession value of all teams in the European Championship qualification with a good 74 percent. In fact, the Swiss have mostly appeared dominant in the current campaign and are pushing their opponents into their half. They also had 70 percent of possession in the home game once morest Belarus (3:3).

Given this dominance, it seems almost unbelievable that the Swiss have not only given up points 3 times, but have also conceded 8 goals. After the home game once morest Romania (2-2 following a 2-0 lead), national coach Murat Yakin might still speak of a slip-up. Away in Kosovo (2:2 following a 1:0 and 2:1 lead) he complained regarding the lack of cleverness. And following the 3-3 draw at home once morest Belarus?
All of these things that have nothing to do with talent – being alert, defending, giving your all – need to be seen more.
“It’s difficult to explain what happened today, what happened in the last few games,” said Yakin, before all too familiar formulations followed. Concrete solutions look different.
Other judgments in the Swiss media are also sobering: The NZZ There is a lack of “orientation and organization” under Yakin Blick speaks of “arrogant and arrogant” appearances. Does a fundamental discussion regarding the coach now need to be initiated?
Make sure you reach the finals first…
There is currently no time for that, says SRF expert Beni Huggel. Qualifying for the European Championship finals has the highest priority. Contrary to all expectations – Captain Granit After all, Switzerland still has it in its own hands.
But Huggel says clearly: “If you manage to qualify, a fundamental discussion will be extremely necessary.” For the 46-year-old, the quality of the national team is undisputed. “But all of these things that have nothing to do with talent – being alert, defending, giving everything – you have to see more of them.”
