Despite the U21 European Championship, the Basel player is in Murat Yakin’s A-Nati team: Amdouni has been promoted to the “indispensable” category

There are no big surprises in the selection of national coach Murat Yakin for the two international matches on June 16 in Andorra and on June 19 against Romania. Where, by the way, the house is played to a full house. The tickets were gone after 10 pm!

There are nine returnees. So the two fullbacks Jordan Lotomba and Ulisses Garcia. Also Steven Zuber. Or Yvon Mvogo, who replaces Jonas Omlin, who has minor muscle problems and asked if he could cure them. Yakin: “We have enough players with quality, so that after a long season we have full understanding and sometimes we can do without.”

This shows the quality of the Swiss A selection that has now been achieved. Or that a Sandro Lauper isn’t even in the extended 42-man roster, even though he’s in great shape at YB. Yakin: «It runs well, we have it sharp. But the competition is huge in this position.”

Amdouni will probably move on to the U21 after the A-Nati

In the storm she is not, and one name is increasingly in the spotlight: Zeki Amdouni! The Basel attacker is in the selection, although he is still eligible to play with the U21. Unlike the two super talents in midfield Fabian Rieder and Ardon Jashari. Yakin explains: “In March Zeki got his chance – and seized it with two goals. And in the last two or three months he has raised the bar. Of course we can’t do without him in this constellation. We are now with him planning it so he can play the momentum with us. If he recovers well after that, he will move up to the U21 team.”

Males despite Serbia putting pressure in the U21

Darian Males is also in the U21 squad, he is also a top form Basel striker. Only: the resident of Lucerne has both a Serbian and a Swiss passport. And Serbia begins to squeeze. Wouldn’t that have been a good opportunity to solve this problem with a short assignment in Andorra? Yakin: «We don’t just offer a player. The services must be right. As a result, he is also under supervision. I spoke to him and U21 coach Patrick Framework. Darian now knows he’s on our radar. But as long as a player has the talent to play in the U21, they should use it.”

Yakin: «We will encourage and re-motivate Gregor Kobel»

Yann Sommer is also in the best flow despite the uncertain future after winning the title at the last minute with Bayern. But not BVB keeper Gregor Kobel. How did Yakin experience the crazy Bundesliga final? “That’s what excites a footballer’s heart. For some it was happy, for others less so. But we will certainly cheer Gregi up and re-motivate him when we move in.”

“For Yann it was a risk with the substitution,” says Yakin about the situation of his number 1. The situation was complicated by the failure in the Champions League and the cup. And because Bayern was in danger of losing the championship. “It is definitely a new experience for him. He can crown that with the championship title.”
