Suddenly there were rumors in early October. According to Filip Ugrinic (24), one of the YB shooting stars this season, he told Serbian journalists after the Champions League group match in Belgrade that he would like to play for Serbia.

He can still do that now. Because he was unable to attend the first call-up to the Swiss national team in September due to adductor problems. After that, coach Murat Yakin no longer took him into account – because they wanted to rely on established players. “But that does not mean that he will not be included in a later selection,” said Yakin.

Reason to celebrate your debut?

Said and done. Now it is about binding dual nationality to Switzerland. With a little time. If everything goes according to plan and Switzerland gets its ticket for the European Championship against Israel, a mission against Kosovo or Romania is as certain as Amen in the church. However, it would be very special for the Lucerne player if he could celebrate qualifying for the European Championship on his first appearance. “That would be a great debut, wouldn’t it?”

Sure, it would be. In any case, Ugrinic is unconditionally looking forward to his baptism of fire. «And I must admit: there is a certain nervousness! But the expectation is greater. Besides, I’ve only heard good things about this team. And I have indeed met great guys here.”

He doesn’t want to comment much on the recent atmospheric disruptions he witnessed from the outside: “When I look at the table, everything is pretty good overall. If we qualify for the European Championship on Wednesday, no one will care anymore.”

Serbs knocked on the door two weeks ago

And what about Serbia? Ugrinic explains the latest developments: “There was contact two weeks ago, yes. My family and my supervisor have been contacted. But I didn’t hesitate. I chose Switzerland with 100 percent conviction. This was not a decision against Serbia. But for Switzerland.”

He had already gone through the U-teams for Switzerland. “And I grew up here. Switzerland has tried. I had good conversations with the Nati bosses. In the end the good feeling decided. Contacts with Switzerland have always been closer.” And now there’s only one thing missing: this one minute.
