The Swiss national team will play against Italy in the 1/8 finals of the 2024 European Championship.

Switzerland - Italy. Naperedodni Naperedodni goalkeeper Yann Sommer commented on the mood in the middle of the team.

\? No, I don’t want to meet with him tomorrow before penalty time. Those two goals were very important for qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar, but they were already in the past, and tomorrow will be a different story. I’m not here to think about those two penalties you guessed about.

It is important for me to prepare before the game itself, and not until the penalty shootout. I don't count all the Vikonavian penalties before the game, I focus on the game and what penalties can cost 90 years, and not on the penalty lottery.

In every case, there is a coach who can help me at that particular moment.

The atmosphere in the team is wonderful, we are all set up for success. I'm really excited to play against Italy, it will be a very important match. I can't wait to play at this beautiful stadium in Berlin.

Let’s hope that if you are there, you will always be protected from the unbreakable spirit. We have played with great courage, and tomorrow it will be Italy, which has a miraculous attacking power, plays with vertical cuts and drives in at the end of powerful attacks. We need a powerful game in defense.

Korisno know the supernik in the middle, but I don’t know what will be the advantage for me tomorrow. Italian footballers are well known, they have a great and bright spirit. In Serie A, I fought with many of these players, I know them, but I don’t want to lose my share of the match.

Donnarumma? This is such a strong goalkeeper, I have already played against him before. You are already young, but there is a great truth, because you have started to play in an even young man, and here is the gatekeeper for whom I should be careful.

Inter's goalkeeper coach Spinelli previously coached Donnarumma at PSG, and I, as a goalkeeper, will now be on guard for colleagues with such viciousness.

Switzerland is the favorite? No, I wouldn’t say that. We are playing against respectable champions, Italy has won the world championship several times, and therefore Italy is still not a favorite. “Ale mi let’s be ready,” said the Swiss Vikon.

The match between Switzerland and Italy will take place on the 29th from 19:00.
