Switzerland, who finished second in Group A and will face Italy in the Round of 16 on June 30th, are in good shape and their coach Yakin is not worried about facing the defending champions.
Yakin told Swiss media: “I can’t say we are the favorites to advance because our opponent is Italy, but the draw against Germany gave us a lot of confidence, and I can’t hide that.”
“We analyzed Italy’s matches in detail, and we will continue to study them in the coming days. To be honest, we can’t wait. They are unpredictable, but we are prepared, even psychologically, to handle a match like this.”
“We are not worried about facing Italy, in fact, I think it’s the opposite because our form is still good. Italy has a great league, tactical and strategic, which I really like. The Italian national team has many excellent players, and it will be a big challenge for us. We will focus on ourselves, but of course we will also study the opponent, understand their strengths and weaknesses.”
“The Italian team can use many different styles of play, which makes them dangerous, but they will also be wary of us. We are in good shape, we are unpredictable too, and we will try to get something from this game.”
