Nine days after the last international match, coach Vladimir Petkovic remembers an eventful year in 2018.
In Bern, the Swiss Football Federation drew a conclusion on the year of the World Cup. Vladimir Petkovic's view of the turbulence of the past 12 months has been positive overall.
That's what Petkovic said about …
… world Cup: "After the group stage, an intermediate goal was reached. It is normal for the big nations to reach the round of 16, but in the beginning we struggled to accept the new challenge. This and the events surrounding the match against Serbia shook the team for 2 days. But then we are well prepared. There was no sign that the players would not be mentally ready against Sweden. "
… Valon Behrami: "At some point, he will be in communication again with him, it's a shame how it happened … I did not tell Valon anything but the other players." Blerim Dzemaili, by example, I thanked for what I gave him as a national coach.I can not decide anyway if a player resigns. "
… Stephan Lichtsteiner: "It was in September, it was very important, we talked about everything again and dealt with everything that was at the World Cup and after, I know Stephen's abilities, his mentality, his ambition. we hear regularly, he congratulated me for winning against Belgium, we have good communication. "
… the Swiss striker: "I'm happy with the strikers, they are doing well in the club, but of course we do not have Ronaldo, who has scored 16 goals in 15 qualifiers, so we have 15 different players who can score. Haris Seferovic has always been the most powerful attacker on our team, he always gives everything and thanks to his work, the players look great, and of course he does not meet regularly, but in Europe there is maybe 2 or 3 strikers able to do it at a high level.
