About the goalkeeper duel in the national team: this is Kobel’s problem in the fight against Sommer

Gregor Kobel really wants the position in goal for the Swiss national team.

Should Murat Yakin be envied or not? The national coach has to choose between two top goalkeepers. With title player Sommer and challenger Kobel, Switzerland has two goalkeepers who would put most European Championship participants between the posts with a kiss on the hand.

The problem: Kobel already sees himself as number 1, Yakin sees no reason to shake up the proven summer. While Sommer has an important advocate in goalkeeping guru Patrick Foletti, Kobel advisor Philipp Degen and BVB icon Roman Weidenfeller are standing up for Kobel.

87 international matches, the associated experience, a strong first half of the season at Inter and his position in the national team speak for the summer.

And Kobel? It is clear that the ambitious BVB goalkeeper must shape the future of the national team.

But he has a problem. When he was to participate in the European Championship qualifiers in the autumn, he had to be sidelined again due to an injury. And those who are injured cannot prove themselves – that is why Kobel still has five international appearances.

Therefore: No, Yakin is not to be envied. The goalkeeper issue could cause unrest for a team that has experienced enough pressure in recent months. It is logical that the coach does not want to open the barrel publicly without necessity.

But it is also clear: if Sommer shows weaknesses in the spring and Kobel continues to perform at a high level, Yakin will have to change his decision. Announcement in December or not.
