After losing to Spain – Summer: “We were very insecure” – Sport

A decent appearance is not enough against a major nation. Against Spain, the Swiss team had to experience it once again in the Nations League. Switzerland did not allow much in the rear, but could hardly put the accent on the offense.

The conclusion of the Swiss actors was mixed:

• Yann Sommer: «In the first part we got into trouble. Spain made good pressure. We do not find any solution to this. We were very insecure and had too many easy turnovers. We wanted to be brave here, which we couldn’t do, especially in the first half. “
• Vladimir Petkovic: “In general it was a positive game, but the defeat hurts. We should have taken the lead before giving in. The Spain team is full of world-class players. In the last stages, the Spanish were afraid of not winning the match. “

• Granit Xhaka: “Spain played a good game and, as expected, they had a lot of possession. Currently we are not at the level of Spain, we have to recognize this reality. But we can learn from this game. “

• Xherdan Shaqiri: “Today it would have been possible to do more. We have to learn from mistakes and keep working on ourselves. As far as I know, nothing special is planned for my birthday, current circumstances do not allow it. “
