Victory against Italy
Swiss now “don’t want to fall into euphoria”
After their strong performance against Italy in the round of 16, the Swiss now want to remain focused and down-to-earth. The 2:0 victory against the defending champions was a great thing, but the focus is now already on the quarter-finals, says Fabian Rieder.
Murat Yakin (Switzerland team manager): "I expected everything from the Italians, but not a back four. When we saw that they were coming with a back four, we knew: We're going to crush them. If they come with a back four, we'll let them run. That gave us more space on the sides and we were able to exploit those spaces. It's no coincidence that the Italians are constantly changing their team in several positions and have brought in new players in three or four positions again today. They are searching for their own identity. Everything fits at the moment."
Fabian Rieder(Switzerland player): "We put in an incredible performance as a team. Everyone went for everyone else. The mechanisms were great, we harmonized well, defensively and offensively. We want to enjoy it now. But it's clear that we don't want to get too caught up in the euphoria, we want to keep working hard for the next game."
