Courage is now required: “Le Chef” frames reveals its recipe for the quarterfinals

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

At first glance, Switzerland doesn’t stand a chance: market value, international experience, individual class – the French have everything in abundance compared to our U21 national team. Sure, in the last group game even a defeat can be enough to continue; when the Italians lose 1-0 to Norway in the parallel game.

But we shouldn’t rely on that. Realistically, there has to be a win, only then is progress certain. And for that Amdouni, Rieder, Imeri and Co. surpass themselves. They must conjure up a show that will delight both football fans and gourmets, the dishes of French haute cuisine.

“Les Chefs” in the kitchen continue to surprise their guests with daring and crazy creations. Qualities that our U21 national team now urgently needs after two mixed performances at the European Championships, both of which were sleepy in the beginning. Does trainer Patrick Framework find the right recipe? Now there is a demand for «Le Chef»!

Blick names the ingredients needed to give the appearance of the U21 the necessary quarter-final pizzazz:

Thyme! The herb is named after the Greek word “Thymos”, which means “courage” among other things. You need that a lot against the French superstars, starting with the coach. Courage to put fresh forces like YB shooting star Aurèle Amenda and FCB top scorer Darian Males in the starting eleven. And the courage of the line-up not to be pushed behind by the strong opponent.

Ginger! Strengthens the immune system. Our U21s can use that, the back four had a hard time against Norway and Italy. Defensively, a top performance is needed against the French offensive force.

Fenugreek! Applies as a creative spice, as a smart alternative to the classic salt and pepper. Without the necessary creativity, it becomes difficult to create opportunities. Practical side effect: in men, fenugreek is said to release testosterone and promote muscle growth.

Cinnamon! According to studies, it is good for the brain because it increases the ability to concentrate. Dropouts such as Lewin Blum’s loss of possession for the 0: 3 against Italy will not spoil it against France, otherwise the dream of the European Championship should be over. If you don’t like cinnamon: the smell alone has a positive effect on brain performance.

Chili! The ideal stirrer. Necessary, because we wondered against both Norway and Italy: are they awake? Both times the U21s slept through the start phase completely and quickly fell behind. An early goal in the group final against the French would probably be disastrous!

Anise! Stimulates digestion. That will also help, because: In every game there are setbacks. And our young national toppers have to digest them quickly so as not to lose track. Goal conceded, red card, missed opportunity: it doesn’t matter, we continue!

cocoa beans! Last chance before the quarter-finals of the European Championship – this starting position should put pressure on our young professionals. Then a grab for dark chocolate helps: the cocoa beans in it slow down the release of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. And keep a cool head in the decisive 90 minutes.

And what does “Le Chef” say? “We need to improve some things, for example the defensive work in the penalty area. We scored four offensive goals in two games, so we don’t have to hide from any team at this European Championship,” said Patrick Framework.

One thing is clear: if we manage to qualify for the quarter-finals, our U21 stars deserve dessert. And there is a star for “Le Chef”.
