Dereck Kutesa and Alexis Antunes are the candidates for the Servette national team: “Nati? Somewhere in the corner of my head”

What is Murat Yakin doing in Geneva on February 2? The national coach follows the match between Servette and Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy in the boxes of the Stade de Genève. Of the latter, Yakin could only think of Ismaël Gharbi in terms of quality, but the 19-year-old super talent from PSG only has a Spanish passport. No, Yakin is here because of Geneva.

Despite being 26 years old, Kutesa is the number 1 candidate

Now we can speculate. Because of Dereck Kutesa (26), as the ‘Tribune de Genève’ speculates? The Genevan with an Angolan passport received a request from Angola two years ago, but is still reluctant to comply. Certainly Switzerland is more attractive. And with performances such as recently performed at Servette, also internationally, the grand piano is a serious candidate. Despite his 26 years and his unstable vita, which has already taken him to Basel, St. Gallen. Lucerne, Stade Reims and Zulte Waregem in Belgium, he is on the SFV lists for the A-Nati.

Antune’s logical candidate #2

This also applies to Alexis Antunes (23). Like Kutesa, he also comes from Geneva. And he also went through all national selections, from U15 to U21. And he is also in brilliant form. As his play and his goal in Wankdorf show.

“It was a big game for us,” Antunes said. “Not just because of the victory. But also because of the way we won. That was strong!” Could this victory even be a turning point for the championship? He hopes so, says Antunes, but at the same time remains very cautious: “We shouldn’t become too euphoric. We have to keep our feet on the ground. But of course we will do everything we can to stay on YB’s heels.”

Perhaps Yakin will call for the March Games

And if that works, coupled with performances like in Bern, a call from Yakin becomes increasingly likely. “I don’t want to get too euphoric about that either. But clearly that thought is somewhere in the corner of my mind. And I hope to do that one day.”

Maybe “someday” isn’t so far away. For example in March, when the international matches in Denmark and Ireland are coming up. “I hope so,” says Antunes. “But again: don’t be too euphoric. I am super happy with the work we are currently doing as a team. In any case, the fact that I am with the national team does not give me any stress.”

And yet: everything sounds as if he was instructed to make a preliminary note of the March dates. On verra, says the inclined Romand.
