Ultimately the result is clear. Switzerland won 3-0 against Andorra in rainy Valais. The Nati stars take a stand against SRF after the final whistle.

“It was very important. We wanted to respond. We knew it would be a difficult match. I think winning 3-0 at home is great. They were at the back, but after the 1-0 win it became easier. I am happy with the coach’s confidence. If I can help in this way, that is of course wonderful.”

“Against such teams you just have to bring the qualities onto the pitch. We tried to open up the rooms. It was an improvement run for us. We wanted to show an answer after the match in Kosovo. We did it. I also found it convincing. We are happy, the team is alive. Sometimes friction is necessary to be able to perform again. We have tackled everything. Everyone must take responsibility. Give everything for Switzerland. We felt that today.”

«The answer comes again on the field. We have shown that. My finger cheer? Anyone who knows me knows that I like to challenge myself. And when I am provoked, I answer on the pitch. I said something in public, then I had a good conversation with the coach. For me, that’s eaten. I am someone who talks openly about things. The timing after the match against Kosovo was probably not perfect. Yet it was perhaps also a wake-up call for the team. I’m glad I had the conversation with the coach.”

«Difficult start. We needed patience. Only after the first goal did the opponent take the lead. The longer the game goes on, the more tired the opponent becomes. We knew that. Xhaka’s statement? We’ve talked about it enough. I understand there was frustration. We have discussed that and it remains internal. It was an unnecessary action on his part, but I clearly addressed that. I always have an open ear for the players.” (mom)
