Rochade in Nati’s goal: Kobel plays, summer has to go to the bench

When the Swiss national team plays their third European Championship qualifier in Andorra on Friday, Gregor Kobel will not be in goal as usual, but Gregor Kobel.

That is what goalkeeping coach Patrick Foletti says to RSI on Tuesday. Yann Sommer will then guard the goal of the Swiss national team in the home game against Romania next Monday. According to Foletti, despite the castling, nothing has changed in the hierarchy of the national goalkeepers. Sommer therefore remains number 1. “We decided from the beginning to have both play in this campaign to give them international experience,” said Foletti.

“It’s Hard To Be Number 2”

In an interview with Blick, Gregor Kobel just spoke about his role as a substitute in the national team. “It’s certainly hard to be the number 2 in the national team. I’m a professional athlete, I’m ambitious and ambitious. What kind of professional would I be if I didn’t want to play all the time?” He will still throw it all in and focus on the things he can influence.

The relationship with Sommer is still good: “Yann is a very good guy. As competitors we treat each other very fairly. I think that also helps to push each other to top performances.” Top performances that are also needed on Friday and Monday if the two goalkeepers want to keep a clean sheet in the ongoing European Championship qualifier.
