On June 15, the UEFA Euro group matches continue, with Switzerland facing Hungary at 9 pm. Ahead of the game, captain Granit Xhaka and Coach Murat Yakin jointly attended a press conference, addressing rumors of a dispute with the manager during the qualifying stage due to late-match errors.
Previously, the Swiss team won only against Andorra in their last eight games and squandered leads against opponents like Israel and Kosovo, ultimately securing a second-place finish to qualify for the 2024 European Championship.
Xhaka stated, “We are all adults, and we can clear things up. So, over the last 6-8 months, my relationship with the coach has been good. It’s much better now than before.”
“He’s visited me many times, we’ve had dinners together. We’ve shared many glasses of wine. Everything is going smoothly. We’re both ambitious, and we want to succeed for ourselves and the team. We’re happy to have a coach who listens to us and is willing to talk. We hope to send an important signal tomorrow (June 15) with a great match, striving to win all our group stage fixtures.”
In this Euro tournament, Switzerland, currently ranked 19th in the world, is placed in Group A alongside hosts Germany, Scotland, and Hungary.
