class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

The Serbian newspaper “Kurir” unpacks the really big letters. The journalists write about a “Bomba”. About the fact that Darian Males (21), the native of Lucerne with Serbian roots, could soon appear before the “white eagles”. Stevan Stojanović, the Serbian sports director, personally observed Males at the scene. And the Serbian national coach Dragan Stojkovic is enthusiastic about the idea of ​​convincing the top scorer from Basel to change countries.

They recently showed that the Serbs mean business. With German Udinese mercenary Lazar Samardzic, Bosnian U21 player Vladan Kovacevic, Canadian-Serbian double citizen Stefan Mitrovic and long-time Belgian U-national player Mile Svilar, the Serbs recently tied four players who did not grow up in the country. Now Darian Males has to complete the quintet.

Males have a run

He is the current top scorer at FC Basel and is directly involved in 19 goals. And also in the Switzerland U21 national team, the player from Central Switzerland is a safe bet. In the considerations of trainer Patrick Framework, the left foot plays an important role with regard to the European Championship in June. There Switzerland meets Norway, France and Italy in the group.

The Serbian U21 national team, on the other hand, failed to qualify. And the Serbs are also lagging behind Switzerland in the A-Nati. Greetings from the two matches at the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup.

In addition, Males grew up in Switzerland. The boy from Rothenburg, a suburb of Lucerne, joined the FCL at the age of six and by the age of 16 the road to the pros was paved. Males wear the Swiss Cross since the U15 national team.

Tami: “Such players identify with Switzerland”

And that is what the attacking player must continue to do. At least when it comes to Nati director Pierluigi Tami: “Darian has gone through all the junior teams of the Swiss national team. These are players who grew up here, who identify with Switzerland. So it is understandable that they want to play for us.”

Males is still playing with the Swiss U21 for the time being. Friday against Spain. It is possible that a roster for the A-Nati will flutter in soon after that.
