Despite false PCR test accusations: this is why the national team should not drop Embolo

The football nation collectively clutches its head and thinks: not again! Once again Breel Embolo is in the news for the wrong reasons. The hopeful Nati Storm, who is working on a comeback after a serious injury and wants to quickly get back on the field for club and country, appears in an indictment as an alleged buyer of fake corona tests. Ouch.

But before we shout too loudly “again” and some people foam at the mouth and demand that the Basel player may even be expelled from the national team, consider this: the alleged incident happened three years ago, from the same year as the infamous bathtub incident. place. The Embolo file hasn’t gotten any thicker since then. He certainly cannot be blamed for being involved in a car accident in the south of France two years ago, through no fault of his own.

That does not mean that everything has to be good at Embolo. At the start of the spring reunion a few days ago, Nati coach Murat Yakin said that during a recent visit he had advised Embolo to put his private life in order. He can afford that because he is not only national coach, but was also Embolo’s first professional coach. Almost exactly ten years ago he brought him from FCB’s youth academy to the first team.

And he still needs to know that Embolo isn’t a bad guy. He is actually a sociable young man who has not benefited in every respect from his rapid progress and a lot of money. Let’s hope Embolo listens to the words of his national team boss. For the national team – but especially for himself.
