“It was a coach’s mistake”: Tami criticizes Yakin for his changes

And then it falls, the 1:2. Much later than in Andorra. But it falls. Only Romania is not Andorra. And therefore the attitude cannot be: nothing happens! Coach Murat Yakin seems to think for a few seconds: should I now make a substitution as planned for the goal? Or not?

He chooses solution one. And that turns out to be a mistake!

Uran Bislimi should have been substituted in Andorra to avoid being forced to face Romania. That was mistake number one. Because that’s how the Luganese Monday night comes for Xherdan Shaqiri. The only remaining striker from the starting eleven.

Tami clearly speaks of a mistake

Result: Yakin can no longer bring in Fabian Schär for Shaqiri, which would have been absolutely necessary given the minutes before, when Romania found more and more space in the Swiss half of the field. And so Yakin Schär brings in Fernandes for Edimilson. Mistake number two! Because Edimilson certainly wouldn’t have taken a step over the center line. The fatal pass to Mihaila in front of goal would hardly have been possible with him as right back.

But this creates a moment of shock after the goal. With Schär for Shaqiri it might have worked with the win. Yakin’s boss, Nati director Pierluigi Tami, is also not happy with the change: “It was a mistake on the part of the coach to take this risk that did not pay off,” Tami says on Ticino television. “I think he’s the first to admit these mistakes.”

Romania could even have won

Without these mistakes, the Romanians would not have made a comeback, which Yakin describes as a “miracle”. But then again, anything is possible in football. And without Renato Steffen’s presence of mind to commit a foul on Olaru halfway when Bislimi hit the crossbar, Romania could have even won the match. That scene was emblematic of how it should have gone to gain a two-goal lead over time.

It went well against Andorra. Not against Romania. A timely shot across the bow to learn from it? Yakin: “Maybe that’s the effect.” He explained the lack of concentration with the wear and tear caused by his team’s constant running. All the more you should have saved energy in the end – and got more in the back instead of continuing to waste energy trying to make it 3-0.

Yakin saw the perfect game

Still, the coach seems unconcerned. Although Switzerland still has to go to Israel and Romania, to the two pursuers. “I am still very confident. We have enough quality not to get nervous. I am convinced that we will get through this,” he says. very focused. Actually it was the perfect game where everything was right. You just have to admit that it goes on until the final whistle.”

For this team, it should not only be the goal to qualify for Germany. This is simply the need to achieve greater things. But to create this condition, you need to take this shot across the bow seriously. Very serious.
