Commentary on the draw with Israel: This team is a patchwork quilt

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fwWrRV”>

Match point is awarded. After a fourth unsuccessful game following games against Romania, Kosovo and Belarus, Switzerland will effectively have to go into extra time. And tremble.

The results of the games against Kosovo and Romania are now relevant for qualifying for the European Championship. That is why after eight games we can talk about an inadequate campaign. Half the games were ruined. And this in the weakest Swiss qualifying group of all time, in which captain Granit Xhaka brazenly demanded ten wins from ten games and was not reprimanded by the media as the pundits’ expectations were similar.

Regardless, we count on the gentlemen from Manchester City, Inter, Leverkusen, Milan, Newcastle and others to make every effort to clarify the situation, given the seriousness of the situation.

And if Germany 2024 is to work, fundamental questions will have to be answered. For example, do you want to extend the contract with coach Murat Yakin beyond the Euro. Under his leadership, practically no athletic progress was visible. The team still looks united. And the conflicts – especially with Xhaka, who dominates the team – have not been resolved.

But it’s not just the coach who’s being questioned. Nati boss Pierluigi Tami will also face a test. Eliminating atmospheric disturbances is also his responsibility. And he showed too little initiative and assertiveness.

Nati 2023 – single quilt.
